Great site, only problem I found was some wording at the bottom: "I was built by Simon Reed & Chris Mahon. Simon made me work they way I do and Chris who gave me my good looks." Simon made me work THE way I do and Chris -who- gave me my good looks. ------ Beautiful site!

Thanks benny, made those changes.

Hi, thanks for the comment. Every plan comes with a free 14 day trial for people to try it out for themselves to see how it compares to any alternatives. After that it's up to that individual to decide if the experience we've created is something they would like to continue using or not, hopefully they do :)

This may just be me, but 14 days seems kind of strict for the type of projects it is for and given the learning curve of all the parties involved like someone else mentioned. It could take two weeks before everyone on my team has even had the time to go over it. If there was a file or size limit, it might be more friendly.

Hi, thanks for the comment. Interesting viewpoint, we'll look at increasing it to a month, do you think that would be sufficient time to test it out?

Just a sales recommendation: the parent, by asking a question, has given you permission to talk to him. Take that opportunity and expound on what distinguishes your product from others - better customer service? a more responsive site? Don't leave it "up to the individual"! (Great looking site btw)

Thanks for the tip, always good to learn new things :)

I like this a lot. It wouldn't be HN if I didn't have a nitpick to contribute: dragging the textareas to the right takes it past its right border (Chrome 24 / Mountain Lion).

Hi, thanks for the comment. I can't quite replicate this, any chance you could email us at hi@draftapp.co ?

Good idea, but unfortunately that product is really hard to establish because of the learning curve it introduces to everyone involved. I find it to be highly effective for beginning phases, but to transfer that information to another platform has been the determining factor for my version. :3

Hey, thanks for the comment. I had similar reservations but having used the app with clients I've that the majority have found it quite valuable in helping them explain their feedback, only a very small % have had issues understanding it.

With regards to transferring that information to another platform, do you mean transferring all of the comments/feedback to something like a spreadsheet? Or something else?

When compared to InvisionApp, which is what I use currently for sharing mocks and annotations capability - they have more features and for the same/similar price.

You won't beat them in features (atm) so you gotta beat them in price.

If you guys are cheaper, I'd give it a whirl!

Enjoyed the landing page and the product looks very simple and useful. However, I was thrown off by the demo image used (a login page) and was confused where I could sign up for your app. I think it would be useful to show a different image for the first interaction.

Additionally, consider letting the first-time visitor upload something of their own, drop a comment, and email it to their friends, coworker, or client right from this first page. Onboard them and get them using the social functions immediately to get behavioral patterns started.

Thanks for responding!

I would think so. I mean, I'd want to use it throughout the entire iterative process, so that means I'm waiting at least a week for everyone's feedback, implementing it and getting it back up there and then having them look at it again. Toss in another project to ensure that it will be easy to navigate the site and I think that could easily take a month, but definitely more than two weeks.
