Sizzy - The browser for designers and developers

@thebezzo Hey Mateusz. Sizzy is not a modified browser, it's a browser made from scratch using Electron and React. We worked very hard on it for a long time and it's based on a subscription model because we're planning to add more features in the future.

@thebezzo Seriously? Should it be free? It'a a tool they have spend a lot of time on. It's a tool that will make you work faster and build better websites. You don't need to pay for it if you don't want it.

@tommyjvedvik Not free, I was not saying anything like that :) I'm saying that there are around a lot of powerful tools than this one and they are in a one-time payment business model. They're not even providing trial version.

@thebezzo, I believe it's okay to take money for you job. If you don't see value for yourself to pay enough - just move on

@thebezzo I think this is beyond useful. One of the few subscription services I'd be happy to support.

I agree. A trial or one-time payment would work better for me. Looks great though!

+1 Yes would probably buy if it was a one time fee with a 7-day trial

@bluetidepro Yep. Looks good, but definitely needs at least a 24 hr trial option.

@bluetidepro @samionmiles @jeroendeprest @syncnd, a trial is needed but a one time fee is not practical for the developers. This service has to be constantly maintained & updated with all the new devices, resolutions & browser updates.

@bluetidepro @samionmiles @jeroendeprest @syncnd that being said, I think the pricing is off, should be lower with only 1 or 2 tiers.

@praneet_rohida1 @thekitze Just wow

I just opened a public Trello board where anyone can submit feature request, bugs, and vote for features: https://trello.com/b/JPE0cds5/sizzy Let's do this together 💪

@praneet_rohida1 @thekitze WOW!

@praneet_rohida1 @thekitze So if Chrome suddenly updates, or does something with flutter, you're good?

@praneet_rohida1 @thekitze what about giving us all a trial link to try out first & then decide.. would appreciate such efforts..

@adamwathan thanks! I haven't considered this model because it's a bit more complex to implement, but I'll keep it in mind. Feel free to try Sizzy and if it doesn't work out for you you'll get a 100% refund. My twitter DMs are also open for a discussion.

@adamwathan @thekitze I think - One time fee for x amount of earliest users can be a very smart strategy to grow revenue very fast very early. How the model scales from there to show continues growth rate can get complicated if not thought out properly when designed pricing structure and financial model 18-24-26 months out. Prob all well aware of this just thought id share my thoughts...I think 30 day free trial is smartest. If the product is worth it for user they will pay after 1 months, if not they would have been bothering you for refund.

@fatihturan Hey! I just checked it out and it looks like it's focused on viewing one device at a time. You could already too that in Chrome and Safari, so that's why Sizzy's focus was on easily developing for multiple devices at once and having a bird's-eye view of your app. There are many other advantages (all explained on the landing page), but the major one is our screenshot algorithm. It's is even better and more customizable than the one in Chrome. Let me know if you have any other question!

@fatihturan @thekitze I really concerns me that you "just checked it out" (Blisk) That is a direct competitor and you didn't know that? I pay for Blisk today and it too is a subscription model and I get it. But it has a lot of features you show so I'm not sure why you wouldn't be highlighting the things you have that are unique. Developing a product in a vacuum without knowing what is out there usually means you also aren't considering user interest or use cases - which is supported by all of the complaints about no trial. I'm paying for the product but also the developer when I buy into a subscription model and this is concerning.

@thetwopct Thank you! I haven't tried it so I have no idea. Sizzy includes some unique features like: - Screenshot a viewport of a device - Screenshot a full page (our algorithm gives better results than Chrome's screenshot functionality) - Screenshot all devices and save them in a .zip file - Automatically scroll page to a selector etc. Soon we're adding User Plugins, Presets, Custom Themes, Free Floating Mode, etc.

@thetwopct @thekitze Polypane has those "unique" features too. As others have said, it seems crazy that you haven't even tried it since it does basically the same thing with a similar pricing model (and they have a trial). Not saying you can't create something better but to completely ignore direct competition isn't usually a good idea.

@thetwopct @29thflr Nope, no other app has the features that I listed above. If you're curious about how Sizzy was created read this article from 2017: https://medium.com/@kitze/introd... When I had this problem back then I couldn't find any alternative to it, so I built my own solution.

@thetwopct @thekitze "I haven't tried it so I have no idea." – @kitze on an app that doesn't have any of the features his app has even though he hasn't tried it.

@thetwopct @kitze @29thflr I checked out the landing pages for the apps that people have mentioned here. They usually advertise their best features.
