I knew of each of you separately and have long thought you are brilliant. (How YC passed on you I'll never know.) I'm really happy to hear you're funded and going. Best of luck!
Miss for YC, big win for the Hackers and Founders incubator. Browserling was the start up I was most excited about on Not-a-Demo Day, in part because all of their business cards were hand drawn and ripped from sheets of paper and their browser logo cutouts were made from cereal boxes.

#35Check out their startup: http://browserling.com/ It allows you to not just get a screenshot of the site you are working on in a variety of browsers, but you can actually navigate the site, click on links, enter text, etc. Impressive! For designers/developers who need big coverage on browsers, I suspect they are going to do strong business. I think the $20 pricing might be a bit high, but the 5 minutes free should hel…
Yeah, the browsers run on Windowses and we stream the desktop to the browser! $20 also gets you tunnels, so you can tunnel localhost or local network to Browserling. Not available in the free plans!
Keep testing your pricing model. Don't get locked in this early. I suspect that $15 might be the price point where it's a no-brainer for a certain group of dev/designers.

OOh. That's sweet. You need, need, need to make that clear. Being able to local dev and then share that with clients or customers is pretty huge. Keep testing your pricing model.
