After looking at Balsamiq I've been thinking something web based, free and built on HTML5 would be much better. Congratulations on what you've built! 2 features I would like to see are permalinks to a 'moqup', to send to clients, and also it would be nice to be able to import Balsamiq XML files. EDIT: Just spotted the share feature, looks great.

I love Balsamiq but hate flash. Hello Moqups!

Great looking app! What did you guys use as your IDE and what is your build process like? I'm currently in the process of transitioning a team from a thick client plugin architecture to HTML 5 and am interested in hearing from others how they have built impressive looking apps in Javascript and HTML.

Feels a bit laggy on my computer (linux+chrome) when dragging items around. But this looks really good! I might even start making mockups now.

Sorry to hear that. We really love Linux users too! This may be related to some hardware acceleration issues. Are you using the latest and greatest Chrome? Also, this performance degradation may occur if you have many many other tabs open. If the problem persist, there is still good news: try enabling the "Live resize of objects" checkbox in the "Settings" popover.

If memory serves I'm on the canary/developer build (18.0.xxx). I think that's as latest as it gets, can't also say the greatest :)

Thank you.

Some of us are using WebStorm/IntelliJ and others swear by Sublime Text. The SVG layout engine is custom built. The rest is pretty much vanilla Javascript with some JQuery. Feel free to ask us anything!
