Thank you, appreciate the response and the new design.

Keep me updated with future developments ([email protected]) and maybe we can work together in the future.

Sure, but even if you find our pricing completely outrageous, that doesn't make it OK right?

Felix,

I'm the founder of http://usefedora.com -- a product you are intimately familiar with.

Love the effort and open source contribution -- but definitely put off by stealing our UI/UX almost verbatim (example site built with our tool: http://bitfountain.io/courses/iwatch-course <-- the same people as your case study, your tool: http://www.onedayrails.com/)

While it is incredibly flattering for a small startup like ours to have an open-source derivative, stealing our interface and design patterns for a project that you charge hundreds of dollars in installation fees definitely leaves a bad taste.

Do it right and we'd have probably helped you promote it. But this just doesn't seem cool.
