There is a bug that presents the "You have unsaved changes, are you sure want to navigate away from this page?" in an infinite loop. The only way I could leave the page was by forcing chrome to quit via my task manager.
Otherwise, seems pretty cool.. definitely on par with other in browser website designers.
A comment on the name: I understand this to be pronounced as, and I assume suggest, the word "peacock". From the "who is using this" it seems to be very European-centric, so it may not be a problem that a native English reader/speaker might struggle to pronounce the name with it's correct meaning, rather than "pie-cock", which is meaningless in English but suggestive.
The demos look really good. I didn't make an account so I can't comment on the actual features.
I must admit the name is odd. I'm not exactly sure how to pronounce it. If it's indeed "Pie Cock", then I'd suggest changing it.
On a side note, I'd really like to form a team and build an open source drag-drop HTML5 page builder. There are a lot of startups/freelancers who could use something like that and integrate it into their products and services. Paid services like this and webflow (and others) are great but I don't think the pricing/business model fits every use case.
I've tested a few of these out including Macaw and some of the biggest features I look for is easy export and ability to edit HTML while using the "builder."
It seems like there is a big race to build these right now, because they have been adopted by a lot of respected developers. "Page builders" have been around for a long time, but a page builder that renders Bootstrap is another deal. I'll give it a try.
Respond [1] seems promising. We have been using it for a year now for a small website, and it offers most functions we need, with the ability to customize reasonably if you know your Bootstrap.
