Seemed to actually function on an iPad. Nice work. The competitive positioning to Balsamiq is clear and well placed. How will you generate revenue if its free?

We will offer other features like collaboration as part of our premium offer. Our main focus for now is to provide the best possible experience to our users.

Edit: Ipad works to some degree, but the app is definitely not yet optimized for a great touch experience. We're also working hard on fixing that.

Love it! You've got the 960 grid, how about some other common page template sizes that the UI can snap to, like iPhone, iPad. I'd also like to be able to go into that mode so I only see native (moqup style) controls as options..

I often want to bang out a layout so I know I've got UI / distribution of controls sorted and then know my general widths / positioning..

If the snapping as good, and I could export or easily grab the positioning / pixels that's something I'd pay a bit for..

Keep up the good work!!

We're planning to add inner snapping to various device stencils (iPhone for now and others in the future), as well as polishing various interactions. We also get very enthusiastic when planning features like master pages, rulers, cotations and so on. Stay tuned!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Sorry to hear that. We really love Linux users too! This may be related to some hardware acceleration issues. Are you using the latest and greatest Chrome? Also, this performance degradation may occur if you have many many other tabs open. If the problem persist, there is still good news: try enabling the "Live resize of objects" checkbox in the "Settings" popover.

If memory serves I'm on the canary/developer build (18.0.xxx). I think that's as latest as it gets, can't also say the greatest :)

PSA: Chromium in the Software Center is very old. The current stable version is 20.X. Download Chrome from Google.

Beautiful, clean, and smooth on Chrome (Win7). Can you give any sort of idea of the development effort that went into this? (ie. # of programmers, time period from starting, etc.)

Thank you. We're a completely bootstrapped startup (6 people). Moqups was created in our limited spare time for about a year where most of the time was spent on researching/optimizing the SVG engine and we really started to take it seriously in the last few months :-)
