Congrats. May want to invest in some web design though, your site layout is pretty obviously copied from 37Signals' Basecamp... http://www.basecamphq.com/ htt

  Hi there, the design is mine (and sadly it shows), but when I did design it I was at the peak of my 37signal fanboy phase, so I'm not surprised you see similarities. I am working on a new design with a graphic designer friend...so there's hope. :)

  And if I do recall, one of the points in "Getting Real" is to copy design of a website that is completely unrelated field.

  Give me a break. Ya, the site could be designed better. Is it a Basecamp copy simply because he intelligently uses "above the fold" and then answers a few question in a two-column format below the fold? How many other sites do that? Many! Certainly those that want a modicum of success, and are aware of the home page "design patterns" that are in use today, do. I plan on using the exact same design pattern for my projects. I can't even say that 37Signals pioneered the pattern but they might be responsible for popularizing it. It works. If anything Peldi deserves a little credit for utilizing a well known pattern to get his site up and saving his time for developing his app.

  I'm pretty happy with Balsamiq's successs. He found a design that works for him and his customers. If anything this post is a troll cleverly disguised as a compliment.
