Webflow is an web-specific IDE.

It's great for production work where you are explicitly targeting the web --- we've actually pointed some of our Kickstarter backers to Webflow after they explained their needs and we realized it'd be a better fit for them.

Subform doesn't target a specific platform. Its focus is to help folks explore layouts and design ideas easily. If you are familiar with industrial design, an analogy would be that Subform is somewhere between SketchUp or Inventor/SolidWorks, and Webflow is closer to a CAM tool.




Webflow is only useful for landing pages and classic websites and blogs, but even landing pages are gaining interatcive app like features, like integrated checkout or onboarding features. It doesn't make much sense seperating web and app development from a design perspective anymore going forward. A landing page is an app.

With this in mind, how could Subform fit into a modern workflow, or how would a end to end workflow that leverages Subform on all platforms (web, mobile, desktop) look like?

What I'm looking forward to is a living stylable styleguide that includes layouts and translates into code, like a visual Babel.
