Oh hey, I have the same webapp. http://www.recurseapp.com
Wait, jMockups is way more confusing, nevermind.
I think its a good idea, there is definitely room for a mock-up / wireframing tool that exists outside of Photoshop or other desktop apps. Unfortunately for you there are several other options on the market right now that (so far) are much better. For example, Balsamiq mock-ups has a web based product that has most of the capabilities of your product with a more polished design (granted its Flash based but not sure t…
There are a lot of mockup tools and they each have their own strengths and weaknesses. If you like jMockups and see its potential please use it and give me feedback on how I can improve it. We'll see where the feedback takes it.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Internet Explorer (at least through v8) don't support the canvas tag, which jMockups is built on. Most web developers and designers don't use IE, so I don't think I'm giving up too much by not supporting it. Plus, you can share your mockups with anyone regardless of their browser so it shouldn't be an issue for most of the target audience.
Don't bother supporting older versions of IE. However, take a peek at this: http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe/ Edit: also, great job on the app. Branding could use some work (i.e. the name) but I think this is well beyond my expectations. I was about to pay for a balsamiq license today, but I'd rather have this. Any idea for license costs?
Naming it was tricky. Originally I was going to use leandesigns.com, but the name was trademarked. The j jMockups is for JavaScript (think jQuery).
As far as price, jMockups is free for up to 5 mockups and $24/mo for up to 200.
If you have any questions you can contact me at matt@jmockups.com.

Can you elaborate? How is it confusing?
But then I realized you're supposed to use your arsenal of tools to edit the page, at which point I'm thinking "is this just loading an existing page and letting you edit it?"
But then I went back and watched the video and now I see that it's straddling this awkward middle ground. You use the term "mockup," rather than "wireframe" – and you're concerned with it being "pixel perfect." So if a design were going to integrate this into their workflow they wouldn't even touch photoshop? They'd go straight to jMockups and make their website there, after which point they can export a PNG to reconstruct in HTML & CSS? It just seems unintuitive, as most designers start by creating this png (or psd) in Photoshop.
Lemme know where I'm wrong.
Oh and sell each template as a one off fee, I would pay $24 as a one off for access to template+tool I wouldn't pay it monthly because it's too big a commitment for a tool I know I wouldn't use that regularly.
I stumbled upon this when I about to draw a wireframe for a new project on paper, so I decided to give it a try. Here's my comments, as I'm creating the mockup: - it's usable. Probably easier than Photohshop to throw together something quick and simple - There's no way it's going to replace Photoshop anytime soon since I need a many more tools to get a real design done but it works for mockups. - I don't get why the…
Your comment on the width is well-received. I doubt many people are going to use this to create a mockup wider than 960px, so when I implement the grid I think I'm going to limit its width. I'd appreciate everyone's thoughts on this. Ctrl C/V : Will do. Re layers: Can you give me an example (share your mockup link) where that would be useful? I worry that it would complicate things more than they need to be. Can you…
I like this but personally it still doesn't do quite what I want. I want someone who understands colour schemes + fonts, what goes together and what doesn't to create a prepackaged template that I can plug into your app. Then I can shift the text around, put fields where I want em like I would if I were doing an iphone screen ui. Then hit export, export it as html/css so I can start plugging the code into it. Oh and…
jMockups is an HTML5-based web app that lets you create and share high fidelity website mockups. A lot of folks use Photoshop to do this, but Photoshop is hard to use, lacks common HTML elements, and makes it non-trivial to share your designs and get feedback. Long term I want jMockups to be not just a tool for designing your site, but a tool that helps you design it well (including built in grid systems, an extensiv…
I gotta say, I'm impressed. Couple of things that I see missing that might make me want to pay... 1. Team sharing 2. Feedback - allowing someone with a password to come in and lay comments around on the screen. I think there is a market here, but as someone else pointed out, it might be a shorter term market to make something like this but customized for, perhaps, joomla. If this tool had knowledge of a particular sy…
Thanks. Team sharing and overlayed comments are great ideas and definitely something I want to implement in the coming weeks. Exporting the mockup to HTML or to a template is possible but very difficult to get right. I'm going to wait and a few months and see how the core mockup product works before venturing into that arena. We'll see where the feedback drives it.
OTOH, having it cut out the major divs that I'm using to scaffold my own code would be both useful and simpler to implement.
