I'm glad this site is here - I HATE CSS I know it's important, but I still hate it...
Here's my site. I basically beat on it, CSS wise, until it sort of worked.

#52Websites with utf-8 encoding look quite silly.

#53isn't this already a feature on firebug?

#54Will be a good tool for design reviews.
Just one feedback: Can the popup be aligned to bottom?

#55This is cool. A few suggestions: * Add a way to delete previews you've made. * Add more viral hooks. FB wall post, email, etc. * Do the same concept but with javascript. * Load each website in a frame with a 50px bar at the top or bottom with your branding and more options. This is where you'll monetize. I know you're focused on usability right now, but if it goes viral you need it to pay you or it will go away. * Do…
I imagine that doing the same concept with javascript would make you an attractive hosting service for phishers.

#56Great concept. Love it. Adding to my toolkit.
Maybe consider leveraging/partnering with http://userstyles.org.

#57I kept trying to tab to format my CSS and accidentally went to the preview. That might be for accessibility, but I'd like to ability to Tab the textarea.
Also Syntax highlighting would be great, but I like the simplicity of it. Don't worry about showing any of the existing css.

#58Nice simple design. http://userstyles.org/ does something very similar via the very popular "Stylish" Firefox and Chrome extensions. Before I knew about user styles I had a similar idea and made a prototype on http://perfecttheweb.com. I have some advice on how to proxy difficult sites like drpepper.com (though perfecttheweb does not implement it) if you're interested. Just gmail craig.quiter.

Thank you! I'm definitely thinking about how to improve the app, added sharing options for fb and twitter, and now also switched over to javascript/iframes (which has the advantage of a 100% accurate display of the website and not needing to reload the whole site for a preview).

#60Brilliant work metachris. I suggest really look forward to expand this project, for budding web designers this seems a excellent tool.
You can really create a community around this, more it goes social the better. A community would really help everyone discuss over the mockup.
And everything else kmfrk already said in his comment.
Good luck!!!
