Sorry you had a bad first experience. We've tested this on a lot of sites, and it works stably across a lot of different cases, but haven't solved it everywhere

  Having written a whole lot of crawling code throughout the years, I can totally understand how monumental of a task this is. This really does look like a cool product. Glad you're actively hunting down ways to improve the demo before asking for money :) Feel free to drop me a line if you want any specifics about the troubles I had.

  hacker news has probably been scraped too many times. that's why it's not working. it didn't work for me, but other sites worked easily. ...i will comment that the user experience for first adding elements is not what i expected. once u understand it's great overall, but i'd have some popup tooltip type guide thing going on for the first time a user uses it explaining that you should choose one element first, and then check a matching element. ...Then explain the number bubbles next to the property field. You don't get what those numbers are at first. ..Then for the property field, somehow make it more obvious that you should fill it out. Basically you have the interface setup so any action can be done at any time, but it should be presented as a forced sequential set of steps to the end user, at least at first.

    Thanks for the suggestions on tool tips... We can also expand the tutorials section to make this more clear.
