I've find it useful to get the names of properties in CSS or HTML tags.
However, it's not a true free-form webpage builder, you must built within a structure meaning you can't place (or move, or transform/resize) items freely like you would in something like Muse. Centering something vertically? Good luck with that.
I've had it for years, since version 4, 2018 give or take, and I've yet to produce a single page. I mostly use it to research/learn what I mentioned earlier.
It's, I think, an Electron/CEF app (basically a web app/site with its own custom window), I'm not sure but it doesn't quite behave "natively," if that makes sense. Think VSCode or Spotify.
While editing pages, every item has a ton of conflicting properties, HTML and CSS, none are explained, so it's kinda of expected you know CSS in order to build something, else you are just going to get frustrated center doesn't center, or if height and a million other properties of an item don't seem to do anything. Which, let's be real, we wouldn't be looking for this kind of app if we knew how CSS works and its gotchas already.
You won't be able to modify an existing site, this only builds, it doesn't edit; you won't be able to produce single pages either, this exports the whole structure for a site even if it's just a single page; I don't recall seeing options to embedding all resources within a single HTML file.
I don't know if the exported site will attempt to get resources from third party domains/CDNs — it shouldn't — because I have not finished anything with it. But this would be a top priority of mine to investigate if I was looking to purchase it now.
On the filpside, when they say you get it for life, they mean it, or at least they seem committed to it for real, as it continues receiving updates which you are not obligated to install (that's good) nor does your installed software expire.
The app requires activation but I think it's only to check if you have free spots in your account, you get three and you can always kick the ones you're not using out. Even from within the app itself. You can multi-boot into macOS, Windows, and Linux with a single perpetual license. Let's just hope they issue an update to eliminate activation should they decide to call it quits.
If you've already have some experience building sites by hand and are tired of coding, I'd give this a go, it think it might be worth it. Even I while I might find it too inflexible and frustrating to be used to build something, it's been very useful for other things that indirectly result in a web page, or something embedded; for instance, I edited the CSS of a firewall's GUI using Bootstrap Studio and a random template to preview how editing the code might look. And as inflexible as this is, I also tested out the highly rated Pinegrow, pine-something. While it's more [supposed to be] capable, it's much more inflexible, much worse experience if you don't know CSS, it makes Bootstrap Studio feel like breath of fresh air when compare to the pine thing— Ha! I just heard it.
I mean… It's not that expensive to have like a little tool there to fall back on when your can't find X in your usual apps. I'd totally get it on that alone. It's got a community/forum and code/widget samples they upload right from the app too, no need to import files.
It's amazing, Really it's a Handtail Tools.
