A screenshot of Webflow v0.0.1 (this one was from attempt #2 in 2007), this eventually turned into webflow.com/cms, which we launched in 2015.
(Btw, that logo was by @thesergie, who created the current logo too, and all the ones in between 😅 )

I was able to dig up my senior project report as I was working on Attempt #2 of starting Webflow, prior to that previous screenshot. Aside from not writing it as "WebFlow" anymore, I'm honestly surprised how little the vision has changed from those very early days!
"I believe that WebFlow can be a catalyst for a paradigm shift towards easier, higher-level application development." 💯
