Enjoyed the landing page and the product looks very simple and useful. However, I was thrown off by the demo image used (a login page) and was confused where I could sign up for your app. I think it would be useful to show a different image for the first interaction. Additionally, consider letting the first-time visitor upload something of their own, drop a comment, and email it to their friends, coworker, or client…

Hi Steve, many thanks for taking the time to have a look and provide feedback. Excellent point on the login confusion, I'll have to address that as others may also have this.

With regards to the behavioural patterns on initial viewing, I definitely agree and this is something we're planning, just need to get it done :)

When compared to InvisionApp, which is what I use currently for sharing mocks and annotations capability - they have more features and for the same/similar price. You won't beat them in features (atm) so you gotta beat them in price. If you guys are cheaper, I'd give it a whirl!

Hi Jimmy, thanks for the heads up. I'd be interested to know what you would consider to be a fair price for the features we are currently offering?

Hi, thanks for the comment. Interesting viewpoint, we'll look at increasing it to a month, do you think that would be sufficient time to test it out?

Thanks for responding! I would think so. I mean, I'd want to use it throughout the entire iterative process, so that means I'm waiting at least a week for everyone's feedback, implementing it and getting it back up there and then having them look at it again. Toss in another project to ensure that it will be easy to navigate the site and I think that could easily take a month, but definitely more than two weeks.

No worries, thank you for taking the time to give us feedback!

We'll update it so that the trial is increased to 30 days to give people more time to get a feel for the product and anyone who has signed up prior to this will have their trial extended to make up for the difference.

Awesome, thanks so much! I should be giving it a go in the next week or so once we start our next project.

I like this a lot. It wouldn't be HN if I didn't have a nitpick to contribute: dragging the textareas to the right takes it past its right border (Chrome 24 / Mountain Lion).

Hi, thanks for the comment. I can't quite replicate this, any chance you could email us at hi@draftapp.co ?

I tried emailing hi@draftapp.co both from gmail and my dreamhost mail and both returned to sender

Small bug in the demo: When I click for a text box the scrollbar on the right of the page disappears. This causes the entire display of the page to shift right by (half of?) the scrollbar width to remain centred. It's pretty visually disorientating.

Win7 x64, FF 17.0.1

Sorry, clarification: When I mouse over the textbox itself. If I click on an existing comment or click to create my own new one, it doesn't do it until I mouse over the textbox to enter text.

It is only when the mouse cursor is on the textbox too, once the input is on the textbox I can move the mouse off it and the page scrollbar returns, yet I can still keep typing as it's the active input still.
