I've got flashblock running, and on the edit screen there were a bunch of flash things. Enabling them just made a mess on the screen. Not sure what they are, or why they're needed (unless I was to add a flash widget of some sort, which I don't see you have right now.

Good initial start. Something that would help is to have some common page styles as templates - landing page, user reg screen, account screen, news page, etc - done with the different widget kits (yui/jquery/dojo).

Thanks.

I really like this! i like the way the user can try it with one click! i like the color scheme and the layout! I have jet to find something i dislike!

try it with Opera 11.10 or IE9

It feels slower than doing it by hand.

Great start. Just the thing to reignite enthusiasm for the rest of the framework.

You might also say this is a much anticipated response to Sencha Labs' slick ExtJS Designer. I'm not a fan of data binding magic tricks, so would encourage the project to focus on standards, portability, performance.

Note: works better on Firefox 4 than Chromium.

This product fails my first test: it exposes my personal information irresponsibly:

One could do worse than add your comment here: https://github.com/maqetta/maqetta/issues/6

So instead of just emailing him, you bashed him publicly on Twitter, then shared it with all of us here.

I'm not impressed.

No, warned people here and on Twitter.

Maybe I'm naive, but there's two scenarios:

1) This is a big deal, so he shouldn't be advertising the vulnerability until its fixed

2) This isn't a big deal, so he's giving the guy a hard time for no reason

So yeah, "warning people" doesn't cut the mustard with me. This is grandstanding.

The performance of the site was so poor when I signed up—and received my password—as part of a labyrinthine, ill-conceived sign-up process—that I couldn't find a way to send feedback. So I just fumed until I forgot about it. A week or so later, I read a comment on Twitter, at which point I replied in an attempt to dissuade people from signing up.

Any developer who writes code that stores a password and then emails it to me is doubly guilty of gross incompetence.

that's pretty slick
