Ah, interesting. As a software contractor I'm outside that target market, and maybe even a competitor to your product in that I offer services to that market. It's something I'd love to play with though - so much "procod

The app looks really interesting but I'm hesitant to consider it for any practical projects due to the pricing model. If I'm reading it right, it's 25 dollars per app per user (not developer?) per month if you want to include

I like Specter, but it doesn't quite give me the holy grail it promises. My main pain-point is that it assumes I know the route to the datapoint I want to change. What if all I know is the general shape of a subset of data, and also th

I'm more enthused now ;) Sketching on paper is so much more free-form and immediate than anything I've encountered yet in a screen-mediated interface (including apps like Illustrator) but I'd be very keen to try new approache

Oh, I'm still enthused about it! But I just don't have as complete a sense of how it all fits together (presumably you're still feeling that out yourselves). Also I wonder if it goes too far from abstraction, the ability to n

The paper has some good insights into how statecharts can obscure or confuse solutions, but some of the issues are avoided by experience or practice of using statecharts. Combining orthogonal states and history, for example, is rightly crit

It is. If you're a front-end web dev, check out SproutCore. It has a built in statecharts library acting as the Controller in MVC apps.
