Graphite

@ericfettner Thank you for your kind words, Eric, I'm happy you liked our product! Indeed, we do have plans to gradually open up Graphite to various audiences, and not just designers. E-commerce is definitely one of the prospects that we're looking at. To put some details in – first off, we're committed to covering all the basic needs by introducing headless cms integration. And from there, we'll move on introducing e-commerce specific features.

@followsummer Awesome! Looking forward to see Graphite grow.

@olya_zabalkanskaya Thank you for pointing this out! 🙏 Our design system tools, like theme variables, text styles, and element variants, are there to help you maintain visual consistency of your project. We also have plans on adding a fully-functional collaboration toolkit that would allow sharing web sites, components and design systems between different projects and designers.

@jehunter5811 Hi Justin! Nice to see you here, and a massive thank you for your kind words! But of course, we know your history. I just hope you don't mind us sharing the love for the word 'Graphite', it's just too good to resist it, right? 😄

@followsummer Of course not! Graphite is a fantastic name and I think it fits well for you. Graphite design and website = Graphite.

@jehunter5811 Thank you for the kind words, Justin! They mean a lot to us coming from you. It will be tough to keep up with the high standard you've set for the 'Graphite' name, but we promise to do our best!

@carlo_thissen Thank you for your support. As a designer, I am very happy to hear that! 🙌 At first, we really admire Webflow. This great tool helps to solve many problems and cure designer's pains. What really distinguishes Graphite is that our product emphasizes visual editing and creativity, whereas Webflow is more on the code-heavy side (in my humble opinion, at least): – Graphite does not have a steep learning curve, allowing you to create web sites with little to no knowledge of HTML and CSS. – Settings for element size, margins, padding etc., as well as the means to create a basic grid structure in Graphite are made as visual tools available for use right on the canvas. – Graphite can boast a much more concise, intuitive and user-friendly interface: we have fewer settings, toggles, buttons and levers than Webflow, while allowing you to create web pages of equal complexity. – Graphite offers a much more familiar approach to the design system and visualizing your ideas in general, and it lets you implement previously familiar tools and techniques that you'd normally use in your favorite graphic editor. Basically, if you're a designer and you prefer visual editing over working with code, we're pretty sure you'll have a lot of ‘oh yasss’ moments while exploring Graphite. At least that's what we’re hoping for!

@followsummer thanks for the in-depths answer! Can definitely sign the learning curve issue with Webflow. Looking forward to dive deeper into Graphite and some other visual builders on the weekend. The first impression is great!

@carlo_thissen Thanks a million! Can't wait to hear what you think 🙂

@olepav Forward to the stars! 🚀

@vivekweb2013 Thank you! Appreciate the support! 🙂

@vivekweb2013 Many thanks!!)

@rubenwolff Hey Ruben! Thank you so much for your comment, I'm glad you like our product. As for 'fighting against competitors' – we actually appreciate the competition and diversity this market has to offer. Wix, for one, has done a lot of good for the industry, so it would be a shame to 'fight' them 😄 That is a valid concern, however, and I put my faith in the fact that, compared to the competition, Graphite emphasizes visual editing, comfort and design consistency. So if you're a designer, chances are you'll like Graphite better than any other tool out there. At least that's what we're counting on 🙂
