Is this always going to be free? Because there are other competitors in this space currently with premium solutions...

Looks interesting. I looked at Geckoboard a while ago but gave up since the dashboards didn't offer the flexibility I needed at the time, and they were just too slow to render (I don't have a dedicated screen, just want to it the page often).

One issue: I tried to sign up using Chrome 20 (Windows 7) and the dialog that appears is below the video in the Z-order.

The self-signed SSL certificate causes Firefox to scream security issue. You might want to fix that.

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

Odd, Firefox here seeing a signed GlobalSign nv-sa certificate that it's got no problems with. Maybe just a rapid fix by the dev :)

The youtube video was blocking the sign up form for me -- I had to remove that div in "Inspect Element" before I could make an account...

Site seems to be having problems. Suggestion to the OP (your page also seems to be down) is to link to a static site with a demo video or description of the product. Or, test the load your app can handle before posting here.
