Undo button is awesome.

More web apps need an undo button.

Does it do logging in to websites then fetching? Do you plan to add scripting to it?

I thought to myself oh boy yet another web scraper as a service but got surprised. I haven't been this impressed with a product video since Dropbox.

Really sleek interface, and looks like it could be extremely useful (I just spent a few hours cranking out Nokogiri this morning).

Oh, typo: "Notice that toolbar at the toop of the screen?"
