Hi, I'm one of the founders of pentotype. We're creating a new kind of wireframing software and we'd really love to hear your feedback. We have been working on this for more than half a year now, doing some customer interviews and building a prototype. We're planning on launching an MVP in a few months, but we've gotten to a point where we'd really appreciate some broader feedback. Especially, we would like to know if you faced the problems shown in the video, if you see other problems and what you think about our solution.

Thanks Waldemar, Johannes and Thomas

Just this week we had an issue with a web application I am working on, where we had 3 forms to get started using our application, which we thought was ok. Then our commercial team complained that there were too many steps. We realized after they screen shotted each step that before the 3 forms there were 3 more pages to get to that point.

With the pentotype service we would of seen and addressed this issue months ago, instead of now when we are losing too many people in the funnel. Please let me know when its available for testing! @mark_ellul

I think this is a great idea! I have some ideas for iphone apps and this would be a perfect way to show developers what I had in mind.

Quick question: What software did you use to create the animations/drawings for the video?

Thanks for your feedback. The drawings were made by hand and the animations were done in Adobe After Effects.

I haven't found my ideal route from wireframing to prototyping. I'd be interested to give some feedback. I'm a designer by trade @ed_lea

Your concept sounds great!
