This shows a lot of simplicity in it’s functionality I would like to have seen appearing in Freeway 7 after the disappointing 6. My jaw dropped at the scene starting at app. 1:30min. This is how it should be done.
DEMO : http://vimeo.com/110387732
A beautiful User Interface as well.

It does look sharp, and definitely modern.

This was probably the fastest $70 I have spent in a long time. The generated code is really quite clean, and given that quite a few of my projects use Bootstrap, this will save me a fair bit of time getting the basics in place. It’s interesting – the UI is very heavily Yosemite-d, even in my Mavericks Mac. I’ll be interested to see how it looks on my actual Yosemite laptop when I look at it later.
This sort of tool is a quasi-wysiwyg in my book, because it does not give you the free-form tools that Freeway does, but the constraints that it imposes (based on the constraints of Bootstrap) are the sort of constraints that can make your work more pleasing to the eye and rhythmic. By not giving you the tools to make something completely unique, they are also keeping you from injuring yourself, too.

I have to agree that it is an impressive demo - but so was Macaw!
At $70 it is deffo worth a punt - just dont have a Yosemite enabled machine yet.
I can see it being appealing to existing FW users that dont want to tweak any code.
I certainly would like to hear feedback when you guys get your hands on it re its limitations/customisation potential.

It worked just fine, without any arguments, on my Mavericks machine. I haven’t looked at it on Yosemite yet, but as I noted earlier, it was sporting a flattened Yosemite UI (stop light buttons, anyway) when I used it in Mavericks.

Yes - my mistake, Mavericks required not Yosemite.

With such a sparse UI there’s not much in the way of Yosemite touches (I’m on 10.10.1) other than the stoplight buttons.
Pretty slick. It is fun to use, I’ll say that much. It’ll be interesting to see the type of sites that can be built in terms of complexity and functionality.

One thing is for sure; I’m gonna spent €56,19 on something I haven’t even tried yet.
Is on a spending spree here; one 27" iMac, one AppleTV and one Blocs license …

The app does have a 5-day trial period if you launch it without a serial number. I don’t see a way to download it without paying for it, though, so that may be moot.

Contrary to some other (perhaps also great) apps, Blocs immediately appealed to me. For me it had the ‘now thàts it’ factor. It will sitting comfortably in my Dock, next to Freeway7.
Font Awesome also is something Freeway7 could use. That one goes on the FW wishlist

Not sure I follow you. I downloaded the trial from the site, launched it and have 5 days left.

Yes this looks really awesome!
Are there, besides maybe some developper freedom (which is not always needed), other important reasons why I don’t use this app in some case above Freeway?
thx

Not sure yet … for now I’m holding on to both of them.

I read on Twitter that the developper promises a lot of missing functionalities the coming weeks.

I haven’t used it in anger yet, but you may want to see how it handles the round-trip – if you make changes in the generated code, what happens when you next export from Bloc. That’s something that Freeway hasn’t ever escaped from, and I can imagine that Bloc has the same issue. For an application that basically gets you started with the framework of the page (and its reactive viewport variants) but does not have any sort of inline code-adding that I have found yet, that might be a problem. It would certainly make it harder to apply any coding changes, because you’d have to go back and do them again and again.

Walt, you’re right - if you make changes to the html file, it’s not updated in Blocs. Nonetheless this is pretty impressive software. I can see it helping with some rapid development, especially if you’re familiar with Bootstrap. Understandably the CSS file is quite big.

Not being a coder I frequently rely on compare and contrast any changes and sections to be changed. Is there any method / App that could be employed that sections can be block highlighted with different colours. Preferably side by side so you don’t have to flick pages back and forth.

I believe what you’re referring to is known as a diff tool in the version control world. It’s one of those tools you don’t think you need until you start using it.
Xcode comes with one or there are several commercial 3rd Party options available. I’m not sure but perhaps some of the more hardcore editors have one built-in. I use Kaleidoscope from BlackPixel which integrates beautifully with my editor.
If this isn’t what you’re referring to then please explain further.

Thanks Todd, Kaleidoscope seems exactly what I was looking for. It was in part something I’ve been looking for previously but also to address Blocs and FW rewriting changes, that you then have the worked files to compare with etc. etc. changes having been highlighted to paste in again.
Xcode might be rather beyond me but shall investigate.
Thanks again for all, have a good festive season and 2015.
