This website's "Privacy Policy" states:

Yet personal data is collected through Google Analytics without being mentioned anywhere and without my consent. The policy is also the linked privacy policy for the Android and iOS app. It doesn't let the reader know why personal information is collected and how it's used, as it claims. Is that different in the actual apps? Also, what data does the website and the app collect?
There is a paid PRO plan in the app. It's pretty standard for site builders - pay for custom domains and premium blocks. I'll add this info to the website.
Thank you for the feedback!
Did you build airsite.co on Airsite?
Is there also a web version? I like the idea of quick edits on a phone but am having a hard time seeing building a whole site only on a phone.
I am thinking through a similar problem with Webase [1] which is a platform for building apps without coding. I have make it work ok on a phone, but I think most people will be more comfortable on a computer when using the tool.
Best of luck to you!
I'm still debating if I should have a bare bones landing page with just 2 download app buttons or show off the possibilities of the editor more.
I would probably add a web version at some point. Desktop is definitely more convenient for "building a website" type of work. I guess many people who want to build something on mobile now, just don't have access to desktop and therefore have to do it on mobile.
The goal is to build something that's friendly and intuitive for someone who makes their first website. But also powerful and flexible enough for power users who can create pretty much anything they want. I made 3 iterations of the editor and the current one is pretty close to flexbox layout.
I would really appreciate any feedback! You can email me at andrey@airsite.co tweet @pyankoff or join the discussion on Product Hunt - https://www.producthunt.com/posts/airsite
Great question, I don't think I realized how many website builders there are before I started working on Airsite :D Just on Product Hunt: there is another one launching today, and one yesterday.
I think the main differentiator now is that it's mobile-first, there are not that many of those and even fewer good ones.
The problem with the mobile focus is that building a website is kind of too complex of a task for mobile. Not having a mouse/keyboard and having all your controls on the same small mobile screen makes everything so much harder.
So, to summarize, I'm differentiating by focusing on mobile, but there are some trade-offs in that focus that make it harder to build a good product. I hope not impossible. I guess we'll see :)
