This is a pet peeve of mine, but I really hate when products like this don't affix a prefix to their tool description.

As in this isn't a "design" tool. It's a "front end" design tool or "UI/UX" design tool.

I may be flamed for this opinion, but seriously, stop referring to GUI/front-end design as just "design." There are a lot of people that are designing different things and it sucks when we search for new tooling and only get the next GUI tool.

Like when I read your title, my first instinct was that it was a CAD/EDA tool.

edit: <\gripe> this is a really cool product idea and clean implementation from the looks of it. imho quality/easy docs are the difference between loving a job and burnout!

I agree with you and to be honest this is something we get picked up on often when talking to people outside the (UX) design world... we're just so used to people using the term like that in our space that we forget!

That's a great quote :)

FWIW, in the title I parsed "design" as a verb, so I thought it was something like readme.io for more general documentation.

Cool product!

Thanks for the feedback! Really helpful
