   Hi guys, Congrats! I co-founded Academy123 (2003). We licensed our product to AOL and we were acquired by Discovery Education (2006). We did the very same thing: an online education platform for the rapid development and delivery of multime

   Some feedback: 1) Didn't know what to do. Was hard to find the call-to-action, which turns out to be an image (with no affordances; not button or link like at all), in the top-right corner. 2) Unusual process. Hmm, ok. Created a device ni

    Also, sometimes it's important that there's a forcing function / mechanism of some kind that gets things to stay put. Ex: Pens used at cash registers that are intentionally giant / ugly / unwieldy so you don't walk off with them. See here:

    I used pencil & paper for wireframing for years. Scissors, photocopying, etc., exactly as the article explains. I struggled off and on with various replacements: Visio, Photoshop, Powerpoint. All of these gave me to much control over

    Thanks! Prolific!? I dunno... :-) Actually we're targeting .NET 3.0, but, see, Win XP has no installer for 3.5 (apparently) and so we have to check if users have .NET 3.0 and if they don't, then prompt them to install 3.5. sigh Next ap

    Just because it was easier! Our servers are setup for hosting bug videos, not Adobe Premiere-edited product videos. Sure, we could have copied the product video onto our servers, rejiggered our video player to play it, etc., but it's not wo

    Hi there. Yes, given that it's a Windows app, it's not designed (at this point) for end users to submit bugs, but instead for professional testers, developers, and product managers You may want to check out ScreenR for Business: http://

    Oops! This is related to the Pricing page issue we had this morning. The buttons aren't enabled for non-logged-in users. Working on a fix now, thanks!

    Ahh, yes, I agree, WRT end users submitting bugs. Requiring a download + install (even though we do it as cleanly and simply as possible, I think) is probably a non-starter. Our initial focus is professional testers and developers.

    Thanks! Yes, it can be done with JAVA, but we weren't happy with the required UI compromises of a non-native app. I was sure we would be able to do this with Flash or Silverlight, but A) of course I had reservations about both platforms a
