Consider the diversity of design we see in printed magazines, and the lack of diversity on the web. That's not really automating design, it's making it bland and uniform. Imagine if web designers had a tool like InDesign, and it a

Yes and no. We're starting with solving for web designers, and the vast majority of their work comes nowhere near the complexity of full-blown applications. The fact that a designer has to know how wire up a form submission, or have to

I'm not arguing that we should get rid of code altogether, that is an impossible task. I'm saying that we shouldn't require code for things that can be automated, and there sure are tons of parts of web development that can b

(Co-founder of Webflow here...) Would you say these are basic? (All created with Webflow.) http://artemis.com/ http://cmplain.com/ http://www.zombi.nl/ http://zombidemos.webflow.

(Co-founder here...) The Webflow.com website was mostly designed in Webflow, but we had some limitations at the time that required us to hand-code things. A new version is in the works that is completely created in Webflow, so it's onl

It looks like the canvas is only there to render the background gradient. Pretty sure all the animation is done via CSS3.

I don't think they're trying to hide anything, maybe just haven't gotten around to creating an About page. Both founders used to work for Microsoft: https://angel.co/buttercoin

It's weird to see Linus on the other side of being disciplined, and a pretty stark contrast to his own slightly more abrasive style. For example: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/23/75

Webflow ( https://webflow.com ) is made precisely for this. To get a feel for what it's like, have a look at the playground: http://playground.webflow.com/ (I'm one of the founders.)

Extra credit to anyone who can implement this in HTML/CSS without using the canvas element. Since CSS transformations are hardware accelerated, I bet it can be made to look as smooth as the reference GIF.

Completely understand your concern. However, a couple of points to clarify: - Webflow is meant for production site implementation, so your actual "source" files would be on your computer (in Photoshop, etc). You'd still need

Great point. "Down the line" is quite relative, by the way. Right now, we are very fanatical about improving our designer interface, and we'll see where things go from there.

We love Macaw, and the early preview looks amazing! Can't wait to play with the final version. That said, it looks like it is much more similar to Adobe Edge Reflow, but with a more intuitive interface. With Webflow, we're looking
