1) If you have collapsed a rollup and it contains tasks with precedents for other tasks, then the rollup needs to have the lines added. 2) If you collapse a rollup, it should still be draggable in time (left and right) and this should move all tasks within the rollup as one thing. The first task seems to have that functionality, but that's not intuitive. 3) Why can't you drag up and down since you have move up and mo…
Basically, when the first "loader" filled up to 100% and I expected to see the page, I was a put off by the second unexpected loader.
Your demo is ugly (Sorry, had to say it), but it works and I like the fact that you can pan around by clicking anywhere. That is not obvious however and might need a hint somewhere. The custom scrollbar is not intuitive because of the coloring, I kept thinking the track was the slider and vice-versa. After playing a bit more with it I discovered you have color themes. DEFINITELY use one of those by default. The grays…
Just FYI, the snapshot is a .png screenshot and we can definitely clarify that better. There is also a saveAs which saves in our own format and ultimately will save to each of the various PM formats.

100% flash? No thanks. Good luck though.
What do you have against flash as far as this tool is concerned? How and how much would having such a tool but entirely in HTML5 influence your buying decision?
Although some HTML apps have this problem too, Flash is invariably laggy.
Flash doesn't work well on Linux, and many of the people in my world run Linux desktops. (And some won't run proprietary software on principle.)
The UI of Flash apps is always some homegrown awfulness that tries hard but is never as intuitive or responsive as native UI, and not even as good as web browser controls.
With Flash apps, printing usually doesn't work as you expect.
You can't save the page.
Flash apps don't really exist on the web. Even if you give each Flash app its own URL, that just means you re-download the same framework over and over again and then load the data.
It is cumbersome (for instance) to bookmark, or bookmark a particular view, or to link directly to other content, or to have a task expand to show an iframe of other content on the web. Some advanced HTML apps have similar difficulties in practice, but Flash apps have these issues in principle.
None of my existing web browser plugins work well with Flash content. For example, some people have spellcheck built into their browsers; now they can't use that when entering data. Even something as simple as cut and paste sometimes doesn't work quite right.
Ok you can import from all the current tools but what about exporting to them? This can give people the confident that I can work on this on my own but when I send the file to somebody I can send them in a format that they know (also, good for trials, I will try it but what if I don't like it, I will have to redo all the stuff in my fave s/w again)
Collaborate with that exec who uses MS Project, and work from your netbook with this web app on the go.
One minor issue: the horizontal zoom is a little counterintuitive.
The + button increases the number of weeks shown, effectively zooming out. The reverse for -.
Not a major issue, but it could throw someone off, especially because the vertical zoom behaves in a standard + to zoom in and - to zoom out fashion.
The menu within the application looks perilously close to the browser UI — For example, users could easily click the back button when trying to open the file menu. Screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/NTVhYzA0
From both marketing and SEO perspectives, I wouldn't limit the product overview to a video. You should add a page with screen shots, features, etc.
