Webflow, an existing product, is much more powerful and pretty affordable. Macaw, if it's as awesome as it looks in the demo, may be better than Webflow.

This, this is thoroughly underwhelming. Sorry.

If open source is your biggest differentiator, I think you should emphasize this. Being able to use this as a part of other environments would make it much more compelling. Maybe change up the kickstarter page?

Webflow is great and Macaw seems amazing, but let me try to make the difference clear here:

Frontend vs Webflow:

1. Frontend is open-source (as you mention);

2. Frontend has a databased integration (ORM);

3. Frontend let users create their own components and templates and plugin on the system;

4. You can develop locally (for speed) and push projects to the web whenever you are done;

6. You can host frontend on your own server online and deploy projects from there;

Frontend vs Macaw:

1. Frontend runs on the browser, there is not "preview" process;

2. Frontend is open-source;

3. Frontend let users plug their own components and templates;

4. You can develop locally and push projects whenever you are done;

5. You can host frontend on your own server online and deploy projects from there;

6. Frontend is responsive (mobile ready), with Macaw you need to check if your project will work on mobile first (and on tablet);

More differences will appear on the stretch goals.

Thank you for the comment.
