Edit Room inspired? Be honest... http://www.edit-room.com Also template-free blank canvas web design, a little more professional maybe?

I'd substitute the gradients on your site for solid colors, they're a little too intense. Also the signup password field being in plaintext isn't quite right.

I like what Edit Room tries to do but I think you need to look into finding a UX or UI person that understands web design/development because it is a little too geeky/subtle in implementation for the user that this is targeted for. However, I like how it focuses you in on the content and content-type before you get into designing around it.

Thanks very much! I've been working hard on making the UX better, and will have a nice solid update shortly, that should address your concerns. I'll let HN know as soon as the improvements are ready.

One nice thing that's coming is being able to design for different screen widths with a built-in breakpoint tool that creates media queries for you from your design.

This sounds pretty biased and accusatory coming from the entity who created said product.

Originality is a rare occurrence these days. Why are you so surprised to find something similar to what you've built?

You're right, and my apologies for the snark.

It does seem like many more people are building web design apps, that's all. I like it. This one seems like a decent start, i'll be keeping an eye on it.
