Hey everyone! I've been hacking on Airsite for the past few months. It started as a side project, but now I'm kind of full time on it.

The goal is to build something that's friendly and intuitive for someone who makes their first website. But also powerful and flexible enough for power users who can create pretty much anything they want. I made 3 iterations of the editor and the current one is pretty close to flexbox layout.

I would really appreciate any feedback! You can email me at [e-mail] tweet @pyankoff or join the discussion on Product Hunt - https://www.producthunt.com/posts/airsite

Hi! Nice work. Genuine question, how do you plan to differentiate from the countless other non-coding website builders out there?

Hi, thank you!

Great question, I don't think I realized how many website builders there are before I started working on Airsite :D Just on Product Hunt: there is another one launching today, and one yesterday.

I think the main differentiator now is that it's mobile-first, there are not that many of those and even fewer good ones.

The problem with the mobile focus is that building a website is kind of too complex of a task for mobile. Not having a mouse/keyboard and having all your controls on the same small mobile screen makes everything so much harder.

So, to summarize, I'm differentiating by focusing on mobile, but there are some trade-offs in that focus that make it harder to build a good product. I hope not impossible. I guess we'll see :)

FYI on Firefox mobile (preview and stable) your site overflows horizontally by a few hundred px. Also your testimonials made me laugh and admire your chutzpah, which may not be the effect you're going for :)

Haha, yeah, definitely not the effect I was going for :) They are real though, but I see what you mean, lots of room for improvement.

Thanks for the note, fixing Firefox!

Your site looks cool, I've just never seen that kind of testimonials attributed to random ppl.
