Needs improvement but T3 is a good deal
I have never given less than 4 tacos before, I purchased Jemi during Black Friday so enjoyed a slight discount and their T3 is generous enough but I am on the fence about whether to keep this. There is still a lot of missing functionality even important features like an undo button which was requested early into the launch and still remains unshipped. I almost wish they would have launched on here later this year in Q3. One of the things I like about Appsumo is the 60 day window gives us time to checkout the UI/UX but also to see how the developers are progressing on their promised roadmap - has kept me from being burnt in other Saas deals.
Pros:
Deal terms are good especially for tier 3
Printful integration looked interesting
Membership and subscriptions also interesting
Team seem friendly and open to feedback
Cons:
UI is not very intuitive with needless steps that unfortunately frustrate your workflow, doesn't feel like a true drag and drop editor.
No multistep undo or redo buttons (They do have a warning "Are you sure you want to remove this block?) - which helps minimize accidental deletions.
No unpublish
No mobile editor (Issue for anyone wanting to optimise content for mobile viewers) - forces you to limit your desktop pages.
Very limited supply of prebuilts and blocks
To be honest I was tempted to leave 2 tacos but the deal is good and maybe in a year Jemi could address a lot of these shortcommings. I am unsure I want to sit on this till then given where it is now, current limited size of the dev team and how much more needs to be done. I am just starting college but already have quite a few wordpress & webflow sites and purchased LTD's including sitejet, webstarts and pagemaker with extensive experience using wix, square and other builders. If Jemi was a solid yet simple drag and drop site editor with settings/attributes that can be adjusted easily right there, resizing and easily dragging elements or contatiners around the page this would be better. I am only willing to go through menus and a less friendly UI on something like elementor or sitejet for a more complex website like a realestate directory or car dealership i did last summer. If I am building a site for a small cafe or someone's twitch channel then it should be fast and painless. My suggestion would be to release more features in beta before the 60 days are up or to post a video showing what we can expect shortly. Thank you for the opportunity to try Jemi out, if I do decide to keep it I will adjust my review when it improves.

May 9, 2024Thanks so much for the feedback, really appreciate it! We had a lot of feature requests after our launch including text customization, custom CSS, some mobile responsiveness, undo/redo, and more. Some of these we've launched and others are on the way.
As you mentioned, we have a small team, but we're always listening to our users and making improvements based on what we hear. Though we can't promise any timeline around all the features that you mentioned, we're always making improvements to our site and will continue to listen and iterate.
Thanks again for the feedback and hope you're having an amazing start to the new year!
