Hey Davidw, good questions. For both, my answer for now is "ride it out and continue to live off of my Italian savings". When there'll be enough money in the US account to make it worth it, or when the money here runs out (whichever comes f

Hey there. The main reason I incorporated is to give my potential customers (I am going after large enterprises) a warm and squishy feeling of being able to trust me. :) That, and liability, and taxes, and I have big plans for Balsamiq, so

I must admit life in Italy is really nice, especially when you have a large extended family around like I do. I'll share more on my blog about it but I am a little ashamed at how good the food is here and at how beautiful the country-side c

There are some (very expensive) tools out there that try to output code from your design, but they are incredibly complex to use. I export Mockups as XML, which, with some fancy XSL, could be turned in to MXML or XAML...which would at least

It's true that I am trying to do a lot by porting Mockups to multiple Web Office platforms, but the revenue potential is very clear if I market my products that way (a lot more clear than doing a hosted solution, at least in my mind). And a
