I've been waiting a webflow alternative with not so many ties to the company (own server, own CMS, web-based editor). And the pricing is good!. The only problem I see first hand in the editor is the color of the icons...I would suggest more contrast. Plus, have you considered a night mode? That would be awesome.
I've used it a lot and I already love it. I found some bugs on the beta, but I could perfectly deliver a PDF for production in no time with great quality.
I developed a pitch for a site like this in 2009. Good to see someone finally did it. I'll be more than happy to share with you some of the ideas I had for Colectr
Best wishes!
I've been using affinity as soon as it was announced. I'm happy to say that my computer is now 90% adobe free. I also do motion graphics and I've found that Apple motion can do 95% of all the things I need from motion and I've developed a very neat workflow between Affinity and Apple motion. I agree it could be WAY better (I currently have to do some extra steps to animate vectors with PDF) but it works for me. As to the apps itself...I love them. And every designer that i've converted is really happy. Never looked back. They are VERY fast and easy to use (I've instructed my elder mother in law to use designer and she uses it almost every day for her church group) I'm really looking forward to Affinity publisher for magazine and website layouts so I can finally unninstall Adobe InDesign.
I've also downloaded both apps for the ipad pro...And I can say that I've finally found one app that works seamlessly between portable device and computer. The only caveat I see in the ipad version of affinity is the font management, which affinity can't be held accountable for..it's just an ipad issue.
It took me a looooong time to see something. That's what I hated of flash websites...that's what I hate of javascript preloaders today. GREAT design, but If I have to wait 3 minutes to see your content...I'm out. I'm sorry.
Ive been using it since it first came out. Love it. I've unnistalled photoshop altogether. I did a small timelapse of a photo retouch done with AP: youtube link

If you have a mac, you could try Tumult's Hype. It's sorta like flash but it exports html5. It even has a plugin for wordpress You should give it a try.
