As I said, it's a great product worth hanging around whilst you iron out a few minor glitches. Keep up the good work. IMO most of the usability issues are not biggies, for example, when editing an app I can "Save" or "Preview" and yet it isn't clear that if I click Preview that the app has been saved or not... it doesn't cause a problem but it causes confusion about how the underlying system works. And the thing is, I don't mind how it works as long as I am given the right expectations. To go on... if I have a Preview window open, and in the background update and save the app, can I Reload the preview? All minor issues as you can see that can be easily addressed that will stop me having to "test" the app to see how it works. Keep up the good work. I am hanging on in there.

We are 8 engineers so the usability aspects have been constrained while we try to make everything work. We also know we have some issues with the way we are maintaining login persistence and are working on that. Tom,

And, thank you very much for your patience with us. We are in early Beta and we have tons of usability issues to work out .... and a bunch of stability / scalability things to roll out. It will take us another couple of weeks, but I promise you that we will deliver on that spreadsheet to Google maps mashup for your list of pubs. Thanks again for your interest. Rod Hey Tom,
