OP here: we just launched this project. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Lately I've seen loads of these kinds of website builders, I mean probably over 5 of them unless I mix some up. And that's just within less than a year.

I only briefly looked over the page and it seems to be pretty nice. But could you tell me why you chose to make this project and what makes it different (and better?) than other projects in this area.

The main difference is this is a desktop app - most other builders are web based with monthly fees. Plus editing more than one page at the time saves a lot of time. LessCss integration is also an unique point. We want to build a strong foundation and then open it up for custom extensions. Also Pinegrow doesn't try to replace your existing workflow, but fit in where it makes sense.

As to why... It's something we wanted for ourselves. And we see a lot of undeveloped potential in this space, still.
