Thank you for the feedback, I learnt more from this overview than just "why the price is so high", thought it is more practical what I wrote.

Congrats for building this. I've seen many builders and Drag & Drop tools in the ecosystem in the past months but this one seems to be pretty simple and intuitive. I like that it doesn't have too many options to edit any action/button/CSS properties as that is usually over-complicating the builders.

I've read the comments on the PH launch and it seems you are on the right track. Also happy to see you added Argon and Admin Kit as the first starters.

Best of luck!

From a design perspective this looks really good, I like the components, the typography, the generated pages from Figma etc. Also the documentation seems to be clean and user-friendly. It's way better than most of the docs.

From the development perspective and from other comments that are here, and also from many articles like: https://dev.to/jaredcwhite/why-tailwind-isn-t-for-me-5c90 or https://dev.to/neophen/tailwind-is-bad-because-i-don-t-like-... or https://betterprogramming.pub/tailwind-css-is-probably-overh... you can see that there are still a lot of people who hate the way Tailwind work with classes. But in the same time you can see that they have a steady grow month over month since April 2019: https://www.similarweb.com/website/tailwindcss.com/ that means some people love the way Tailwind is working with utility classes.

So I think this is a really good extension that can speed up the development process of people who like Tailwind. For those who don't like Tailwind, there are many other alternatives. There is no such thing that can fit for everybody.

Some questions 1. What did you use to create the docs? 2. What are your next steps with this project?

That's right, it's part of the strategy but it's not generating revenue if you think of this from the marketing perspective. If we take into consideration the amount that we made based on the traffic that we got from these articles, it will be around 0.2% of the general revenue in 1 year (~2.000$ of $1M). Me, as the co-founder, I've spent many weeks planning, writing and gathering information to write these articles.

The Bootstrap Templates are just 1 part of what we deliver. We also have React, Vue, Angular, Laravel, React Native, Node.js, Photoshop, Sketch, Figma, Adobe XD in our products lists. So if you take into consideration an agency who will deliver for his client a website + web app and they buy a "React + React Native + Sketch" combo from us and pay let's say 150$, that will be over 5.000$ for them if they have to build it from scratch. Also don't forget that we spend many months on building and testing our products on many devices (phones, tablets, tvs, desktops etc) Hope this makes sense.

Yep, there is no right answer in this. In our case, a partnership where we built something together or on top of a framework is working very good for us, as we create new products. So we have 2 options, we either work on new products from scratch or we partner to create something better. Don't know if Paul Graham talked about this way of working, I think he was thinking of partnership = "a big enterprise said something about you". Hope I understand right his tweets.

It isn't a good or a bad thing, it's just another design system, where you have some rules. We didn't like Material Design either, that's why we took it and made it more user-friendly. The basic idea is that you can take this UI Kit and start playing with some variables to change colors/shadows/typography and create something new, but you don't have to create the whole system from 0. It will save you a lot of time.

Congrats for the launch, there are a lot of resources there, gonna check them soon. I have one question about the build of the community, I see this in the footer "powered by Airstack" and this link to Github https://github.com/ThemesGuide/airstack", but on that repo isn't anything. Is that something open source that we can use to create some similar communities/lists? Thank you!

Thank you for the great feedback. I understand your point. The idea was to have a dashboard for this UI Kit: https://www.creative-tim.com/product/now-ui-kit as there were a lot of requests from the users. It wasn't meant to be 100% unique as we had to follow the rules of the Invision's design: https://www.invisionapp.com/now. If you want to give some examples of things that you consider unique and could make this dashboard better, I'm open to this, we are looking to improve it.
