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.
