A comment to address the pricing that everyone is complaining about:

A web designer/developer in a decent, profitable company is probably getting paid $100k at least.

Assuming 250 working days a year with 8 hours a day of paid time, that's roughly $0.8/minute.

If this tool saves that person 90 seconds a day finding and tweaking things in a design then it's saving more than $30/month worth of their time.

It's quite cheap.

The fact Adobe charge waaaaaaay too little for PS is another matter entirely.

In the US maybe. Definitely not here in Italy and probably in most of Europe.


Even if someone is paid 1/3 of the US wage it only means you need to save 3* as much time. It's still quite cheap.

As pointed out elsewhere, it's saving the business more than $30/m, not the developer.

The developer doesn't get to pocket the savings. Their reward for "saving" 4 hours a week is an extra 4 hours of work per week.
