Earlier quoted context omitted.

I am the developer of InfoCaptor and would be pleased if you can take a look at https://my.infocaptor.com

My suggestion, is that if you're going to build a product for a tech audience, and you use bootstrap (which is a great idea btw), spend some time to make it not look like every other bootstrap site. I'm looking at you black fixed global nav bar.

the actual app is not based on bootstrap. just the website is bootstrap which is like godsend. it is only couple weeks since i released it publicly and i am not done launching.

But I absolutely hear your suggestion that website needs lot of work.

Also, talk about the three Zeros instead in the three Zs. 'ZZZ' means asleep or bored.

ha ha, i didn't realize "ZZZ" would imply that :) will have to check some click through stats on that "ZZZ"

Website is still down, that's a shame - OP can't even get the homepage back online before showing HN.

30 minutes to bring back a homepage is pretty bad man, also your personal homepage http://paulbjensen.co.uk is returning NO CONTENT, is that on the same (bricked) server?

Hi everyone, My apologies, I didn't expect to end up Top of HN. I'll try and get it back up. In the meantime, here is the YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxf8f9AQBgM&feature=plcp

Thanks for posting, I'll have to come back later and check out the site. From the video I can't really tell if it's opensource or a hosted service.

I'm also curious if there's an easy code import/export feature for individual widgets and/or the entire dashboard (all widgets, global styling, settings, etc). I don't think I'd use it for anything serious without being able to export the entire dashboard page and add it to my git repo (and being able to reload it if somethings gets lost or messed up). And being able to import/export individual widgets would make it easy for the community to share custom widgets so that in practice end users wouldn't actually have to write much code.

Anyway, it looks like a cool project!

EDIT: I see now there are REST api endpoints for creating & getting a dashboard, awesome.
