I really think that if Freeway was a subscription based piece of software
they probably haven’t gone broke last year.
Adobe will come with another platform based on Spark and they face the same
problem as Freeway/Softpress did: the continuing changes in webdevelopment,
to keep pace with competitors is extremely tough and their Muse department
is relatively small (I heard about 18-20 persons).
But Muse is not dead, neither is Freeway, they’re just discontinued. My car
isn’t build either for 10 years now but I’m still driving in it. I’m still
using Freeway, I can use Muse for several years, But I would like to have a
stable solution for my clients though without fearing to have to build
their sites over again after a while, or forced to get alternatives that
are too expensive (Webydo $75,-/mo, Webflow $16 - $42 /mo).
The Muse market is great and a lot of companies will find an adequate
solution for their loyal customers
Perhaps will in the meantime Freeway 8 see its sunrise. It would be perfect
timing…

For what it’s worth, I am not mocking you and certainly not Hoffkids, with
whom I have exchanged a number of emails privately. I know he was very
impressed with MUSE from the get-go because he wrote to tell me so.
Software is useful, but it is not a human being. And while some may think
I was mocking them by mocking a piece of mere software, that too would be
incorrect. It is unfortunate for you MUSE users, I will agree. And that’s
precisely why I’d either like to see a new, fabulously useful version of
Freeway that can help me create responsive websites with tremendous ease,
OR when Blocs matures to the point I find it useful, I could possibly go
with that (no subscription required).
So even though I still use Freeway Pro 7 even to this very day, I have my
eyes open on other web design apps. I am not a full time web designer. I
merely design and maintain websites for my company. So my needs are quite
different than many who visit this forum.
