Hey guys, thanks for all the feedback. Right now Enterface is just a concept, hence no call to action. I would love to have it developed, if only for my own use! I'll need my own icon, too...
well, give http://Salon.io a spin .. here´s an invite for you http://salon.io/users/sign_up?token=H7DqXNBcUFAnXtRQYExr

#74As a UX Designer, I'd say I've needed something like this: a true UI design app that only had the features I needed. None of Photoshop or Illustrator's extraneous features (with respect to a UI Designer's needs, anyway). One thing that would definitely make me try it is a bundled/stock icon set that is well-integrated into the app. Finding open-license icons for my mockups (or drawing my own) is actually the most lab…

#75Seen as Adobe is looking to kill Fireworks, it's not getting a retina update I was thinking of jumping ship to Sketch.
Weird that you didn't build the logo using it though, like Sketch did.

#76Wow.. this has just about everything. Why not take just the most important layout and design features and create a tool that can output actual web pages? I'll tell you why. Because web developers code in CSS and HTML. If you can just export a web page, then it takes away their "programming" work. If we took 1/100th of the effort used to create mockup tools, we could have 10 really great graphical interactive web page…

#77It'd be great if this could work with libraries of UI elements, so we could load in Twitter Bootstrap elements if our site uses that, or have the ability to create UI libraries of our own.

#78This is awesome. If I can suggest something - it'd be amazing to export some kind of layer-based file format (PSD, really, though that tends to be hard). Your concept looks great for wireframing at a very refined level, but inevitably UI designers will want to go deeper with all the fanciness Photoshop provides. It'd be incredibly powerful for them to pull in a PSD where all the layers are already in place and ready…
Photoshop should only really be used for masking images and illustrating.

#79The Flyout Tool is pretty novel. It's one UI quirk that bugs me in a lot of apps that support layering.
I was thinking the same thing re the coolness of it, but I don't have enough experience to say anything about novelty. If it is novel, OP's one-year patent clock starts today for the U.S., and the opportunity to patent in the rest of the world is now lost. It wouldn't surprise me if selling that feature to Adobe, Microsoft, or others could pay off more than the proposed (quite cool) app.

#80The slideshow after "Here's what it looks like" shouldn't alternate directions for the transition animation. You should make the screenshot come in from one direction if you press next and the other direction if you press back. This improves visual feedback for the user.
