This is really great. I (or my employer) would gladly pay for this. I have two suggestions & critiques: I think that by eschewing video and audio entirely, you're missing out. As apple has demonstrated, animations and transitions are important to the user experience and user understanding. I would definitely allow screenboard creators to import or upload video and audio clips. Perhaps this could be a feature for adva…

I read this as: You think that this alternative-to-screencasts is great, but you'd pay more money if it also made… screencasts. ;) There's absolutely nothing wrong with liking screencasts. But if you want a screencast - a thing with video and audio clips that conveys information through voice - you want a different product, right? There are existing products that help you make screencasts. The problem with bolting sc…

great point!

> "so I made this app instead" Is this really the work of a single individual? How long did it take you? It looks like something a team built. Edit: http://www.iorad.com/?a=site.about It was a team. I would have upvoted this in heartbeat if hadn't been for the misleading title.

title fixed...yes it was a team effort and it took a long long time to make...sorry about the confusion

Please don't be so pedantic. It adds nothing to the conversation.

What is that meta and form between your doctype and ? A coldfusion specialty? And please, fix the SQL injection you may have and the debug mode too! Try searching for something like: " (a double-quote only)

  VENDORERRORCODE	  1064
  SQLSTATE	  42000
  SQL	   SELECT * FROM module WHERE name like "%"%" AND is_deleted  1 ORDER BY name
  DATASOURCE	  dsn_iorad
Wow... also, how are user passwords stored? I'd query the schema myself, but that would be wrong. :)

I'm pretty sure the entire site is built on the premise of "I don't like screencasts because I think faster than they talk and get frustrated waiting for them to finish".

Given that premise, audio and video would completely defeat the point.

I think it was just a grammatical slip-up, versus being misleading.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Agreed - though without the slow animations I think you might be on to something. I know a lot of people who hate video/screencasts.

we're working on that to speed it up, would you prefer a mode with no animations?

What about a toggle to set the animation speed before publishing?
