Ask HN: WIX.com equivalent for designing front-ends

[nicksalt]

Hey All, I like building applications in Sinatra and love how easy it is for me design functional front ends in WIX.

Does anyone know if something exist that would allow me design for web and browser and easily export to code that I can place in my sinatra app.

Looks awesome. Have you used it? How was the learning curve?

[gcatalfamo]

You could say it's somewhere between Wix and Photoshop for user experience. Still point and click interface but much more granular in its features. Try a sample project and get a taste.

Then you can export what you need.

Alva is an opensource project worth watching. It's working towards being platform-agnostic.

I am not a web developer but isn't Google Web Designer a free alternate?

It seems as though this is only for creating ads.
