Hey, congrats. Are you guys planning on releasing something for iOS also? (Also, I wonder if there's a way to have a hyperlink in your top comment. To make it easier to navigate to your site).

Oh, also, I don't know if you want to put your videos more prominently on the landing page. http://youtu.be/CLeDDZYPLB0 http://youtu.be/OD2ZDUPLEhM http://youtu.be/QP1e_kS5jmk http://youtu.be/CLeDDZYPLB0

Thanks! Do you think they are hidden to much in the pop-up?

A bit, they're buried in the 3rd slider. And they're one of the more vivid showcase your technology.

Looks very promising. Keep going.

One question though: reminds me of Google's App Inventor. What's the difference?

We share some ideas, that's right. But there are some major differences. Firstly, Proxxler is 100% browser based. No install to your computer. This way we address people who are not willing to download SDKs. We support more than just the Android platform. And we are not abandoned by Google ;-)

Yep. Hate the installs. Good point. I have an Android phone. So you can skip IOS :^]

I really like the concept of what you are doing. I was actually thinking "we need that". Your website turned me off a bit. Like the last comment, the shot of the kid was a bit weird. I had a hard time understanding what your site does. The UI is not terrible but I think you could be doing a better job. Especially since Mobile UIs are so critical to success.

Anyway, keep it up cause I like the concept and would actually use it.

Actually, it's not the worse site, but the site could use a little polishing. There's actually a lot of material put out in HN in the past about that. A lot of landing pages look like this example: http://visualwebsiteoptimizer.com/split-testing-blog/landing...

Alan,

Thanks for your comment. I guess we have to invest some more time into our website. But concerning your point about the UI that needs improvement: Do you mean the website UI or the builder UI seen in one of our videos? And did you check the site on a mobile device or on a desktop? (cause or mobile site is not really existent yet...)

We will definitely keep up and if you subscribed for beta we will inform you about important updates.
