Does it do anything fancy? This seems to be very basic.

I like these kind of services. But you're up against https://jetstrap.com/ https://jetstrap.com/ and https://www.easel.io https://www.easel.io so if you don't mind me saying you're homepage could use a little TLC. How about jumping right in with an online demo or a short video demonstrating the tool? I like the fact you can use one project for free. That's always a good sales technique. Make people love it.

The concept looks nice. However, a video or other example of it in use would have been nice.

  Definitely wanted something like that up but decided to focus on getting the core up and running instead of spending too much time on the 'bells and whistles' for now. Well its a trade off that could go either way I suppose.

Perhaps it's the late / early hour, but after signing up, I couldn't find a way of getting into editing a project / creating a new one. Really wanted to test this product... simply couldn't find a way to do so, what am I missing? Got an email saying "You can get started by accessing your Project Dashboard. You will have free access to most application services during your trial period. Learn more by visiting the Help page." The help page is just pointing to uidojo.com, And in the project dashboard, I see indeed that I have no projects, but no button to create my first project. Am I missing something? EDIT: I was missing something apparently, the help page actually helped, but the UX for creating a new project is confusing (at least for me). 'Projects' looks like a tab, not a button. It should say what it does: 'New Project' and not just 'Projects'. Just in my humble opinion...

Having to sign up to begin experimenting is pretty painful, and a leading way to lose conversions in a hurry. Automatically generating an ephemeral project is lots less painful to people (like me) who want to see what it's all about. I also found myself concerned that 'About' didn't say anything about who was behind the project, or any such. 'About' should tell me who's running the show, why I should trust them, and why they're not going to run away with my data and leave me holding the cloud -- er, bag -- in three months.
