#3I guess it's reasonably useful for mockups, but you can not seriously design a website (or any UI) with absolute sizes.

#4I feel like this could be more useful if you let users export images as well.
I know plenty of folks who need to do image manipulation but don't want to spend time learning Photoshop and rightly so, for small image tasks.

You can set min/max width and percentages are coming soon.

Of course you can. Don't be daft.
There are plenty of advantages to relative sizing, and in general it's a good policy, but there are many excellently-designed web sites whose sizes are absolute – just as there are many shit designs that're responsive as hell.

We currently allow you to download (export) a zip of the page, which includes the images you drop in.
Or do you mean image manipulation itself? If you are good at it, you should join us! We'd love to have you open source it. :)

#8Now do one where she does not mention being your girlfriend, and include a better close at the end. Better yet, use http://videorascal.com (I dont own it or work for it).

Yeah, I am the sole developer so right now it is great for mockups and layouts. But demand the features you want, and I'll work towards them! :)
I started with basic min/max widths, because that was the sizing I commonly used. Percentages are important also, which will be coming.
Plus our experimental logic/animation tool let's you do some pretty spiffy stuff: http://www.screenr.com/Z9o and should support media-query conditionals in the future!

Well one particular use case I know of where it could be useful is that many people who work in marketing need images for campaigns. It doesn't have to be too high resolution or anything just simple 600px wide images for facebook or twitter.
Now since marketing is run by marketers and they don't necessary know Photoshop or image editing software, they could use some simple tool which lets them drag drop images, text etc with intelligent spacing and margins.
Once they have put images, text in order they want they can get a screenshot of the canvas which they can use for campaigns. My girlfriend is a community manager with a digital agency and she would kill to have a simple tool like this. Since you already have something similar you just need to add option to export the screenshot of canvas to be used for campaigns.
I wish I could help but I am more of UI/UX designer than developer and currently working my ass off on some client projects.
