Nice tool for quick fixes!
Reboo isn't a website builder nor a replacement, it's an additional tool to your website. So before buying, I thought "why would I need this? I already have [Wordpress Theme with frontend editor], [wordpress CSS editor plugin] and probably all the tools I could wish for..." - well, I was wrong because this is something I didn't have already.
While Reboo won't allow you to create whole websites - it features no blocks, no builder and doesn't let you add new elements to your site (except for a few special ones) - it is by far the quickest tool to make design tweaks to up-and-running sites. You just have to add the site to Reboo, then edit it within the desktop program and then link it to Reboo - which is done by copying two lines of code into the <head>-part of your website. That's all you have to do to get your website working with Reboo.
I don't need such a tool for WordPress sites as I use different tools, but here's what saved the deal for me: Remember the Bookmark.com AppSumo deal? Bookmark.com is essentially a website builder like Wix and others. Its biggest difference to some competitors is that it's more limited in the possible design choices and adjustments you can make (makes it more simple on the other hand). So I've used Reboo for that and WOAH - it works just like I didn't expect it to.
So imagine you have a client using a website he's made with Wix.com or some different page builder. Instead of building an entirely new page, you can use Reboo to make some quick adjustments without having to access any of the tools that were used while creating the website. Reboo makes you independent from your CMS and website builder.
Pros:
* Easy to use and implement
* Software features preview mode with views for different devices
* Works really well on my non-WordPress-website-builder (and I assume it'll just work fine on Wix and others as well).
Cons:
* The only con so far is that the software is totally dependent on the support by its developers. The only way (as far as I've seen) to "push" the changes to the live site is through integrating a Reboo link into the page header. So if their servers go down, your browser won't be able to load the customizations you've made. Also, you'll have to add a paragraph to your privacy policy before implementing Reboo on all of your sites.
This could be fixed by giving users the option to export their customizations (for example as CSS and JS code). But since that wasn't what we were advertised anyway, I won't take away a taco for this con point. Just something to keep in mind if you're very privacy-focused maybe.
Five tacos, thanks for the deal!

May 9, 2024Wow!! Thanks a lot! I'm really happy you like Reboo. About the cons, since many users have the same concerns we decided to add the option (in one of the upcoming releases) to specify a FTP account. So then Reboo can upload the generated files directly on your web server and you don't have to depends on our CDN. That will be an option so the CDN will still be available and used by default.
