I don't get it. What type of mockups are you referring to? Images? HTML? The mention of server side language is confusing me because I don't know why I'd be calling something a mockup if it had logic behind it, nor why I wouldn't be showing my client the app on a URL or doing a screencast.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Right! I noticed that too. You can "fix" it by applying a 1px text-shadow on the text, but it will look a little bit 3D-ish that way.

Try seeing if any of these make it better - http://coderwall.com/p/z7egjg?i=1&p=1&q=author%3Aman...

well i can't make ANY difference on windows (vista right now but i've tried 7) and chrome. http://codepen.io/anon/pen/ainmF

I tried using it following your "Quick Start" guide, but failed miserably :(

- How do I set the status of a Page (for example to ``Ready`` or ``In progress``).

- Where can i see the final result? On index.html? Do I need to parse the project.md somehow?

Sorry if that doesn't seem to be clear enough! Good questions, I'll update the Guide soon.

- So you put all the page names inside the /project.md file. Now, according to what you just put in there, you upload your page templates/projects to 'project/' directory (each page being a separate directory that matches one on the list created inside /project.md). `Ready` status is simply when page directory exists, and `In progress` when it's only listed inside the /project.md file but is not yet created.

- This one is super simple. Just upload the projector directory to your server and rename it as you wish eg. domain.com/clients/sony/ ('sony' being your projector folder) and access that url.

Both actually (HTML + images). It's strictly for front-side templates you'd show to your client for approval at an early stage. The next step would be adding some logic to them.

Server side language thing doesn't have anything to do with templates. It just means you can use this tool in any environment you'd like (it's not coded in any particular language like PHP, ROR, .NET).

The thing is, it's a very early stage and you don't have any app yet, so there's nothing to show. It's for when you're in early designing stage and you need to present some app templates to your clients for approval. Screencasts, sending PDFs by email - that's all too much hassle. Projector enables you to present HTML templates you designed in a simple yet interactive way.
