Earlier quoted context omitted.

yeah, we had internal debates whether to use gwt or just js, gwt side won and we (most of us!) do not regret it :)

This is a really stellar app and the compiled JS is quite small. You guys should present at the next GWT conference or I/O.

Wow, thanks for the awesome compliment!

I'd love to try this out as I've been looking for something like for a long time. But I can't use it because I can't sign up with a password longer than 16 characters. This is a rookie security mistake that I see over and over again and makes me worry. As a rule of thumb, you should NOT limit the length of a password. Salting will take care of the weak password problem and a long password is, well, the securer the better.

Edit: use a secure hash on the password before storing into the database

I still use the tiny lightning fast Macromedia Flash 4 to make simple animations, when its just simple animations, without all the script power, features and Photoshop integration you get with the Adobe 2 Gb in disk elephant. I used to run this Flash 4 in a Pentium 133hz with only 16 MB RAM and it wasn't that slow. I was waiting, wondering why didn't someone bring something like that for HTML5 yet, and Finally it is here! Thank you .

How much of that demo video was made with the product? 100% would really impress me.

Initially it wasn't made in Animatron, but we're actually in the middle of publishing a video tutorial series about how to do it in the tool: http://tmblr.co/ZGr3es19AumCF

Correct assessment - wrong solution. If you hash your passwords the stored result will always be the same fixed length. Do that (which you should anyhow for security reasons) and you don't need to mess with changing your database.

we do use PostgreSQL and there are no any restrictions on the length in the database. it seems the limitation only in the UI, will be fixed asap.
