Hey everybody. Please give a second look over the project. We tried to make clear the differences between Frontend and the other options out there. Let us know about anything we can improve on the Kickstarter page. Thank you. http:/&#

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

Macaw and Muse are commercial tools. Frontend was created as an open-source alternative. We use xtyle by default, but you can for sure use Bootstrap (its your choice). Components are anything you can plugin on the system (including directiv

Components should be easy to plugin on the system using any available APIs out there. Facebook Login, Twitter Feeds, Database integration, etc. Our goal is not to build a simple visual editor. We want to create an ecosystems for developers,

Yes, they are great. I have met with the Webflow team (great guys). The differences: 1. Frontend is open-source; 2. Database integration; 3. Plugins (components) create by users; Other differences will appear on the stretch goals.

Hey jwarren. Thanks for the comment. Online system is definitely an option down the road. About the setup. Basically the only thing you need to install is vagrant. The Frontend VM has all the files and tools required to run the application

The system has a code editor for your convenience @alco. I will try to make that more clear. Also, you will be able to select multiple elements and parent elements and apply the same actions.

Sorry sorich87, I've never heard about your project. I did not create Frontend using Bootstrap (you can plug yourself anyways). The project is built using AngularJS + NodeJS + Vagrant + MongoDB (with support for other databases).

Hi bbx, Sorry if I could not make clear the market for the product. Frontend is suppose to be an open-source general purpose web editor. Beginners can use the visual mode, expert can access the source code to make things better. An ORM dat

Well just use xtyle instead: http://xtyle.xchema.com It's smaller and uses CSS property names as class names. You know CSS you know how to use it.

The problem with Java isn't being slow. Look JavaScript is the fastest growing language in usage lately and is much slower than Java. What is the problem than? The community (sorry just my opinion). Where is the npm (maven? c'mon something

I worked for a company that did this years ago as a commercial tool. Also the solution worked on IE8+ with plugins for chrome and FF. Nice that Mozilla is doing the same.
