Looks interesting; your intro video doesn't work for me on mobile though - overflows and cannot zoom out.

If you don't mind a bit of programming, http://morph.io is great for hosted scraping.

First i felt like yawning. But who knows maybe people are interested in paying to scrape websites.

Pretty sure they'll face some hefty legal fees fairly sharpish tho. Scraping now being illegal in many countries.

Then i found the website doesnt work properly in landscape and the intro video doesnt work at all and thought.

What chance have these guys got of doing decent contextual mining from websites if they cant even get a bootstrap website right.

Also can't watch the intro video :(. It's not responsive to the screen width.
