Looks like a great website. I just have a few comments. - It took me a while to understand the purpose of the website. At first glance it seemed to be some kind of a wiki tool, but then I understood that you could also create forms and generate reports. So it's like Google Docs + Wiki. - The slideshow is really nice. It does take a while to read it because the text and arrows seem to have equal graphical 'importance' as the rest of the image, so they are not easy to find. I would suggest making the explanatory text a bit more prominent (either using more standout colors/fonts, or by lightening up the graphic under them) - Even after I understand the concept of the website, I'm not sure how I would use it in my company. I know I can 'collect information' and 'collaborate with clients', but I'm still trying to think of some good real use cases. Maybe it would help if you had some example use cases up there so that your users get that 'aha' feeling right away. Thymer looks great too!

- Google Docs + Wiki is a pretty good description. The wiki part speaks for itself, but there are also many cases where people (ab)use excel as ad hoc database. We want to get Papyrs to the point where it can be used for that kind of informal/ad-hoc database and form use. - Good point about the slideshow. We're thinking we should replace it with a screencast. - I suppose it depends on the way your company is organized. We're only a 2 man company and we already need something like Papyrs to keep track of different documents (tax regulation info, receipts, brainstorming sketches, etc). With some documents we want to know when they're updated (email notification) with some we don't. Full text search. Versioning. The ability to add notes and ideas to the side of a document. Checklists are huge (when you suddenly have to fix an email or mysql server in the middle of the night it a checklist is absolutely necessary). We've haven't found any product that would solve these problems for us, hence Papyrs. Feedback appreciated!
