We've recorded the live webinar on Building Responsive Websites 5x Faster with Polypane, with Kilian (Founder of Polypane). Here's your link to watch the replay

Hey everyone! Kilian the founder here! I built Polypane because I got tired of resizing my browser again and again ...and again just to make sure the sites I was building kept working on all the different viewports (and all the inbetween sizes).
From there it just kind of grew... I want Polypane to help with all aspects of web development, so not just responsive design, but also accessibility, site quality, performance, everything. I think I'm well on my way with Polypane, but I also have about 5 years worth of features planned (though I'm always open to suggestions and ideas!)
I really look forward to show all of you around Polypane during the webinar and show you how to integrate it into your development workflow, use to to assess existing websites and more but I'd also love all your input. What do you want to see during the webinar?

Really great to scroll through webpage on different devices/viewports simultaneously.
This a real time saver. Worth every cent.

If you are designer, must have this tool.
Very easy to identify error with multiple screen.
Check broken link, seo meta data very easily.
Thanks to polypane and saasmantra for this deal.

Polypane takes the hassle out of creating responsive sites by eliminating the trial and error phase of your design process. It speeds up quality assurance, especially when reviewing code from another developer where you might not know the breakpoints used.
It does not completely replace testing on physical devices but it is good enough to cover your needs while working on the design so you can save time by only testing physical devices at the end of your cycle instead of testing after every change.
For now, it is mostly used to view different viewports but the developer seems passionate about making it more of a developer toolbox to cover all your design and debugging requirements. It is already a good deal right now but with more ideas and updates it has the potential to become even better with every update. Personally, I love joining products at an early stage where you can follow and contribute instead of buying a finished product where the developer might be more reluctant to adapt to user feedback.
I find the resource usage slightly on the high side in terms of CPU and memory consumption but that is to be expected when loading many viewports and once. Still, I hope this is something that can be improved over time.
Overall, highly recommended. I've heard of Polypane before this deal and it is something I have considered for a while which makes this deal perfect.

I have spent quite some time to try, and went through the demo walk through from Kilian. I finally decided to purchase Polypane, and believe this is the best investment I have ever done. I have written a detail comparison between Polypane and responsively.app in the comment section. I just summarize what I found here:
- Multipanes view with workspace, where you can save different panes setup as workspaces depending on your development stack.
- Live CSS editor with inspection tool for classes/ id picker and autocorrection. Besides, you can try out different Google Fonts which will be loaded automatically by Polypane.
- Grid, ruler, column, row in the pane for perfect pixel design
- A lot of accessibility tools, which I may not use it, but I hope that I can use it in the future.
Again, Polypane is highly recommended, and I hope that Kilian will keep on the development for it. I am impressed this is a product from a single developer, but I hope you will never lose your faith in such a wonderful product. Thank you SM for this deal!

Polypane is a fantastic product and a must-buy for any web designer or developer. It has saved me so much time, money and sanity. Don't sit on the fence and not buy this lifetime license otherwise you will be kicking yourself. It's the best investment I have made this year.

Hello,
regarding both plans, will there be a feature available on business plan that is not available on an individual plan in regards to a single user/developer ? Like user management portal makes sense, and any other team feature doesn't matter. I hope you understand what I mean.

Hi Kilian and Polypane Team!
I am not a developer, but I am working with developers on my web application. Would this work for something like that as well? Sorry for the ignorance!
Best,
Alex :)

Hi Kilian,
1. Is one license enough for me as a freelance developer, will I get access to all future features as applicable to business plan?
Can another temporary freelancer I hire to work with me install Polypane on his machine for testing, can I control his login access from my account dashboard with one code since two codes purchase seems out of my reach.
2. I read it is a chrome type browser, but currently I develop sites using Divi, mainly Wordpress site, so how am I suppose to use Polypane, it seems like I don't need to test every browser and device (android, Iphone) for website compatability, so is that primary benefit of Polypane, means instead of opening and testing site in multiple browsers and devices, I can't do that testing in your browser, please explain.
How will I check performance of site?
3. I read it will help with CSS, currently I open sites with Chrome and manually fix them, so can it help me in understanding and writing CSS code as well, if yes please explain me the actual workflow.
4. What is user management portal as listed in business plan?
5. What about third party plugins I am using in my sites or embedded links, can Polypane help with that as well
6. Where are you based and how long have you been in business? You already mentioned currently you are soloprenuer, so do you plan to build a team and what technical framework has been used to build this site.
7. Finally what aspects of testing are covered, I get contracts to review code of other developers to find what is not working, so can this tool help me in this aspect, if yes which web technologies are compatible with this tool and vice versa.
I look forward to your early response.
Thanks

the future updates confuse me, does it mean that in the future some updates will be available ONLY to tier 2 and 3 (Business plan) and not to tier 1 (Individual plan)??
in my opinion any tier should include the same future updates for all

| Verified Buyer
I see the deal is to Run on 2 Devices at a time per user "AND" future updates on BUSINESS plan.
Question:
Your Website is doing 3 devices per user on business but here I don’t see the "Run on 3 Devices" at a time per user. So it doesn’t seem to have "ALL" future updates.

Hi Kilian, the review promo is still available? im we are just 2 users for now. And a question: when you offer me all the breakpoints and devices... This is emulating the real device? or is just the size? thanks.

Are there features coming to different tiers (Individual vs Business) that we should know about?
Why does the deal limit the number of concurrent devices to a number less than the subscription plan? There is no reason to do that at all.
Thanks

I have been playing with the trial Polypane, and thanks to Cudy, comparing it to the open-sourced responsively.app. At the first glance, both have the following features:
- Multi-pane views: both have pre-defined devices, as well as custom device, where you can set height & width. Also on each pane, you can switch between touch/ no touch, as well as tilt the devices. One big advantage of Polypane is the WORKSPACE. The workspace is basically a pre-defined set of devices/ panes. This is very useful and important, since you don't really want to show up all the devices at the same time, in different development environment (showing more devices = requiring more CPU resources). There are also some useful default workspaces from Polypane for different applications.
- Live CSS Editor: both have, and they also have hot reload, it means that whenever your CSS is valid, it will be applied automatically to all the panes. Another winning point to Polypane is: it provides a CSS inspector, where it will automatically show you all the class names/ id attach to an HTML element. This surely speeds up the process of writing live CSS. In responsively.app, you will have to inspect the HTML element, copy the class/ id to start writing the CSS.
- Network emulator: both can simulate normal/ slow/ fast network/ offline connection.
- DevTool extensions: both support all devtool extensions based on Chromnium
- Dark scheme: another win for Polypane, where you can select dark scheme for 1 of the pane, so you can basically develop dark/ light theme side-by-side. In responsiveapp, you can only switch the mode for all the panes.
- Screen capture: both do well.
What Polypane has, but not in responsiveapp:
- Grid, ruler, column, row in the pane: you can show the grid, ruler in each pane for design your app. Personally, I think this is a very useful feature.
- The info tab: This is a huge thing that will make you choose Polypane over Responsive (besides the price, of course). It shows you the site metadata, outline, and also you can directly see and edit what is stored in the Local Storage, Session Storage and All the cookies right in the info pane. Sure you can always do that in the Chrome devtool, but I think this small feature shows that Kilian designs Polypane and always keep the developers' needs in mind. Besides, Polypane also analyzes all the possible Accessibility issues. And once it shows up, you can easily navigate to the element, or highlight them all on the screens.
- Once inspecting the element, you can easily edit the HTML text, small, but useful feature.
- Once inspecting the element, you can see its A11y values.
In general, responsivelyapp does it jobs, and does it well, but Polypane is one step ahead with all the useful features for developers. The UX is nice, and give me a similar experience when working with Chrome, even the dev pane cannot be detached to a separate window. I highly recommend Polypane, but I also wish that the number of devices will be increased.

I'm wondering how this compares to the open-source responsively.app, as it seems to do exactly similar things.
