We've been building and using Control in our studio projects for quite some time, I'm thrilled we are finally launching and releasing it for other designers and developers! Big thanks to my team and to all our users who helped us during alpha and private beta.
Some silos are meant to be broken.
Two years ago, me with my friend Arsen onboarded on a journey to bring web designers and web developers together under a single app so they can enjoy creative collaboration the way we did.
So we decided to experiment and create a place where we can collaborate, create and contribute to each other process in a way that’s frictionless, requires less management and prompts expression and creativity. An app that’s great for designers, great for developers but most importantly for collaboration between them.
With this idea in mind we assembled a small team and about a half year ago we launched a first private beta of Control. We onboarded about 300 test users and been extremely delighted by all the great work they done in Control.
Today we’re launching our first public version! 🥂

This looks fantastic! I often wished for a website builder like this back then. It is easy to use and at the same time extremely flexible.
The only criticism I have is that you should optimize the appearance of the websites on smartphones. Some texts are cut off on the iPhone.
Congratulations on the Launch!
I had the chance to explore Control in its preliminary stages, and it's nothing short of amazing! The seamless integration of design, animation, and coding tools into a single browser-based application is a game-changer for both developers and designers. Keep up the fantastic work! I am looking forward to seeing more from Control in the future!

Congrats on the Launch. A place where designers and developers can collaborate, create and contribute to each other process in a frictionless way.
@ikalimullin Thanks! Great question - Cargo is a great editor though it doesn't support freehand editing and it's an essential feature of Control. While it allows for a quick website creation we allow for more customization and complexity. Same stands for Readymag - as far as Im aware they provide a simple code-free way to create websites while we focus on providing both designer and developer with a more flexible workflow.
For example, as a developer you don't need to limit yourself for a code injection in Control - you can use our Next.js SDK along with Headless API. As for a designer - instead of describing I highly recommend you to just try our Editor and Animation workflow - it's pretty much next level!
