I am trying to find the test editor, but I should know better tomorrow...

Nice change with the layout templates.

Btw, I tried another software that has wysiwyg and a responsive output also, but I didn't like the responsive result I was getting.

Visually Duplicate Button for every elements is another new feature which is cool, previously we use to do this with right click.

Now I'm confused :P
I thought this was for making and or testing a resp. layout to then open in an editor where the actual text, images, graphics and CSS tweaks would be added. So, a simple way to create the responsive 'bones' to then build the site on.
Now it seems it's getting more like a responsive site builder, with more and more being completed within the layout maker so less is done within the editor.
Is the RLM morphing into the RLD?

Visually design responsive layouts from the content out with fluid grids, custom breakpoints, draggable elements. The resulting code? Crisp, clean and production ready! This what RLM for.

If just layout concern all we need a pen and piece of paper.

As you read above it says visulally design, so it,s not only layout maker in same time we can design as well but not best possible look.
For layout a web page we need more . actual text , real video container to play dummy video, loading actual picture, actual form but not necessay functional form, actual table, navigation menu and few more real elements required. , let say if RLM come with one build in navigation menu , it's not much, there are thousands of design possibilities then that be colored and designed with RWD. I am not surprised in future RLM come with at least with one build in menu as drag and drop element.

Please don't confuse yourself, we get real functionality from RLM then use RWD to design for best possible visual look. That's what I want from RLM,

Can you imagine what RLM version 5 in future can do for you?

I personally need more from RLM , table, chart, menu/ navigation, and list can go on and on you give all those feature then I use code editor or a designer to design bet possible look.

I just installed it and can't really tell what is new. No Bootstrap 3, no Foundation :( Not really useful for anything other than personal use for me as it needs at least Bootstrap 3 support for work. Sorry guys, proprietary Coffeegrinder and outdated Bootstrap 2 won't fly with my customers.

We are only at version 1.1 Ray. You cannot have everything on the first release. Give us some time to actually build in the features before you condemn us here. ;)

You are very wrong though on Bootstrap 2 being outdated. Just because there is a v3 doesn't mean the previous version is obsolete. Version 2 is still very heavily used.

Scott, I may have been a little harsh, but right now the app has little commercial use for me until it can support at least Bootstrap 3 (Foundation 5 would be great too). :/ I agree that Bootstrap 2 is still heavily used but that doesn't make it not legacy Bootstrap. Shoot, there are still a lot of applications in my world that still use COBOL. That doesn't mean that we use COBOL for new development. ;)

I have to ask, what's the difference in Bootstrap2, Bootstrap3 and what's Foundation 5? I have never heard of those until I got RLM and was just wondering what they are and the differences.

Thanks
