Interesting, I haven't been able to replicate that problem. What browser/OS are you using?

Here when I hit enter after changing the text/value of a control, it suddenly disappears. os x tiger, firefox 3.5.4

same here, I got used to just typing and then clicking outside of the control for the changes to take effect.

Very happy about seeing a Cappuccino app. I can see myself using this. I'm concerned about the lack of an "export" mechanism. Being able to export to html would be ideal. At the very least, having a PDF or other universal format file that I can email around is probably a must. I wonder what "Try it now" implies? It would be nice to know if this is planned to become a paid service once out of beta. Side note: Looks li…

Just the value in getting div positions / sizes would sell the product.

I'd like to see some completed mockups as examples, to lead me gently into the try-it-out phase.

Bug Report: 1) Put a button on the screen. 2) But a box on the screen 3) But the box on top of the button 4) Select the button (oh wait you can't) Otherwise seems like a great product. I love that you used cappuccino, I can't wait until they give us Atlas.

cannot change grids to anything but 3X3

doesn't seem to work

Might have to hit back more than a few times if you have more than two widgets on the screen. But I'll be sure to make this work better.

I just tried it. I created a box over the line/arrow. Hitting the back for the box, you can't select the arrow. Selecting the arrow and bringing it front, it works ok.

UX suggestion: allow me to use the mouse scroll to change the size of the hovered/selected element, maintaining the scale.

Hihi,

Obviously a great product. One thing though - I wouldn't use this because of the nature of my business, I was hoping and praying that it was a downloadable tool....!!!!!

(My business: ideas generation, spitting things out quickly).

If you can download, or are going to make available for download. Please let me know : )

Thanks,

Geoff
