An odd comment perhaps, but I initially thought the drop-down selection box was broken and it took me a few seconds to realise that (unlike every other drop-down) the top element stayed selected.

#62Not only do you not support 1024 wide, you do it with backgrounds on your "how it works" page, so I can't even scroll sideways if I want to. Note: I'm a design/product guy currently on a netbook (i.e. I'm your target market). RescueTime, the company I just stepped down from, has about 8% of its users visiting with 1024 screens. This percentage WAS trending down but has flattened (Netbooks? iPads?).
Yes, there's one page that's too wide, thanks for pointing it out. Eventually those background images will be images and text, I just didn't have time to get it in before launch. I'll work on it.
The content is also quite tight on an iPad. (e.g. The mockup logo is touching the left side of the screen, or is maybe chopped by 1px.)
Also, the examples are blank for me. (not sure if that is an iPad or general problem.)

#63Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah, I made sure to put "With Mocksup you can upload website mockups" in the subhead on the homepage, and was hoping the Examples page would help alleviate that a little bit. But I know no one reads marketing copy. Good feedback, I'll keep tweaking that.
Do you plan to add a mockupping tool? If not, perhaps you can call your site "make your mockups live" or protomockup.com (available) or "quickly prototype your mockups", etc. I really like the design - it was easy to navigate and find stuff. But I had a hard time finding the signup button. Mockups and Mocksup is a confusing read.
For some reason I think "mock soup"

#64Tell you what I've always wanted.. You know the awesome Skype screen sharing function? Imagine everyone in on the call being able to draw and write on top of the live screenshare. It'd be a great way to annotate/draw on top of designs live, while simultaneously talking about them with remote participants
You can do this today with Adobe ConnectNow.
thanks tried it - seems a bit buggy. The screensharing starts feeding back for instance.. the image quality could surely be better with h.264.. and I couldn't find an obvious way of drawing directly on top of my screen, almost like drawing on a transparency.
I have to say in terms of ease of use and speed, I prefer Skype's native code to Connectnow's Flash/Flex by a long stretch
