I just want to say, that i love this app.

I have just started with it, i see few drawbacks like not showing
navigation lines (and not sticking to other object positions) when
resizing etc. but what i miss most are probably 3 features

1. export to vector graphic (svg)
2. possibility to create own widgets and widget sets (I believe there
are and will be a lot of developers using this product, so you could
create some "api" or easy schema and some global storage for their
widgets). At least it would be great (and probably not so difficult)
to allow group, change size,text ... existing widgets, and then simple
pull them to y widget list and define the name, so i can easily make
my templates.
3. cooperation - no sharing with team members now - we can at least
use the same e-mail, i just do not know what would happen when more
people would work on the same project. And for some project it would
be great if more people could edit it at the same time and watch live
the other people steps.

But anyway - this is simple a great application. It is unbeliavable
what is possible with canvas today.

That smart graphs etc. - it is simply briliant. Maybe just for banners
it would be nice to select from some standardised banner sizes (e.g.
http://www.bannercreator.nu/banner-size.html) and some other widgets
could have also some options (e.g. real image for "image", map GPS for
map, show label for form input...)

I will try it on iPhone - if it would work on it (best if it would
have iPhone version), it would be a great tool for prototyping with
client (if there would be Apple Tablet with bigger screen, it would be
even better)

Hello,

Thanks for all your input. A couple of points:

- We'll look into SVG export; a few users have also reported being
able to get Illustrator or Inkscape to pull SVG elements out of the
exported PDF.
- We will think about the best way to allow you to save grouped
widgets as custom widgets. We'd also like custom widgets to be
available to other users if made public.
- Sharing a login is indeed the only way to collaborate on editing
currently, but you're right that simultaneous editing and saving could
cause lost work. We plan to implement collaboration properly
eventually, though. :)
