Very cool interface. Any a very nice usage of keyboard shortcuts.
Can Easel output an entire web page? - meaning can I layout an entire page then get a zipped download of the page plus any CSS and JavaScript resources?
It can. But things will all be absolutely positioned. The intent is to generate pieces of html and css that fit into your dev environment. The code generation is still very much in-flux, but from what we're seeing, programmers dont want the entire thing generated.

Actually for developers like myself there's several use cases where having access to the complete generated source would be awesome:
1. Separate the positioning/layout styles and the color/font/design styles into separate CSS files. That way I can include all the designs created with Easel easily instead of copy/paste one at a time for each element generated.
2. For showing a mockup to a client or knocking out quick interface for a side project using absolute positioning can be acceptable.
Aye, an export function that generates e.g. less-files much the way bootstrap has organized their imports would be killer for this app. It would make it dead simple to prototype buttons or sections of a page, and easily include them in your build process down the line. Having variables separated would also be a plus.
