No offense, but this tool seems pretty raw. Why announce it now? https://moqups.com is a great web based mockup app I have been using for a few years. It's very slick.

Oh no! It's supposed to fall back to long-polling if it can't set up a WebSocket connection. Thanks for letting us know.
Any news? I still can't use it.
I'm still trying to find a reliable way to catch the error that prevents the connection upgrade. Right now, the library I'm using thinks that it should just keep retrying the websocket connection. We're already maintaining our own fork of the library, but it's a tedious process to make and test changes.

hi - i checked the logs. I presume it's the corporate network I'm in blocking the websocket stuff WebSocket connection to 'wss://precursorapp.com/chsk?tab-id=883d69ff-1095-4eed-bf63-83d786d55db1&client-id=f71e3c9b-fd70-4710-8502-ada0c73f4760' failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 200 Maybe you could add some better error handling into the GUI ?

But UX is a solid foundation to continue developing this idea.
It's pretty sluggish on Firefox.
Definitely not on my Firefox. It feels smooth as organic grass-fed butter. As a beginner web developer aiming to work remotely, they have me. I want simple, fast, colaborative, and they have it all plus "mindblowingness". ;) Not only that, sites like this get me excited and make me want to develop something as good. I can only congratulate the developers!
Beside that, the app is very slick.
I'm trying to figure out the audience. I've never had to collaborate on a mockup. I make mockups. I review mockups. I mark mockups up. But I've never wanted to do one live with someone else. That's just me though so an example of when this is used would be great. Some feedback: I use Balsamiq and have for years. The whole reason I use a mockup tool in the first place is so I don't have to draw everything by hand or m…
"Mockups" isn't really the right term here as far as I'm concerned – it implies high fidelity, whereas this is a tool for rapid, low-fidelity idea sketching. It looks like an excellent wireframing tool, not a mockup tool.

The point of low-fidelity mockups is to make the conversation about the the overall design without focusing on detail. If "low-fidelity" means moving from basic web elements to basic geometry, it seems to me like that hinders the conversation more than it helps.

That's just me though so an example of when this is used would be great. Remote teams perhaps? I've never had the need, but I would imagine if you work with designers and engineers remotely live mockups could come handy in a brainstorming session.
We've been looking for just a simple whiteboarding tool that updates live, supports a pen tablet, and lets us collaborate around any rough UI language. We haven't found any that have stuck.
This has the potential (haven't used it much yet) to enable us to quickly sketch UX concepts at early stages collaboratively, which is huge.
We don't do real mockups that are persistent and used as a base for development anyway—it goes straight from paper sketches to HTML prototype. So this fills a real hole, just rough enough to work together on, just high fidelity enough to make sense to others.
Side note, "mockup" is such an ambiguous and relatively irrelevant term for whatever happens at this stage. A mockup here is just whatever you need to visually communicate the UI. The simpler and more malleable the better. If everyone understands the concept and how it translates to a UI in your application framework, then the process was successful.
