The programmer in me absolutely loved the product. However, I am bit skeptical about how it would be positioned/generate revenue (Mostly because I have zero business acumen) . Good product. Best of luck for revenue generation.

#22I really like it. As soon as I started using it, it was clear how to do anything. My suggestion would be to change the sample links on the home page to images. Also, it would be nice to try a demo before signing up.
Thanks! You're right those links need a little polishing.

#23You need to take it down, hire a designer (/copy writer) to redo the UI and add pricing, otherwise everyday you are missing out on customers/revenue. Although I have not played with the app, it seems to have a great potential. There is definitely a need for this product.

Many thanks! Monetization is tough for any webapp, but I believe there are possibilities for an app like memobuild.

The samples were really well made, they deserve something flashy to show them off :)
A "sample built using memobuild" bar at the top with a link to the home page would seem pretty essential too for exactly the same reason.

#27I have composed learning materials using almost every Learning Management System available. Your interface is clean and easy to understand. The simple content section on the left along with easy to understand CMS controls are exceptionally well done. This feels like part of a larger product. Learning materials take hundreds of hours to prepare and I wouldn't trust my time with your new product. Not that it isn't well…
Thanks for the feedback RBr! Actually you're the second user today to tell me the lack of export formats is a problem. I plan to offer export options, but it is not simple. There are some features like audio, associations or exercises that cannot be easily reproduced in other formats. An XML file would be a good start though. Connecting with existing LMS: you're right I need to look more into that.

#28Looks good! Could you share how you did the video? I'd like to do something like that for my app (it's in the Google Apps Marketplace already by the way).
