I live and work in the UK, my designer friend lives on the other side of the world.
Whenever he has a new design for an app I'm making, he sends me the PSD files, I cut them up, export the images, add them into the app, compile and send him a new version of the app. Rinse & Repeat.
This is a crazy way of working. By allowing my designer friend to login to itheme.com, he can create different layouts of my app and test them in realtime.
I can then look at, and try out the different themes.
Thanks
Chris
If you have a look a the code, there is a whitelist of controls that you can allow to be edited.
This is just the start really, I think being able to change images/CALayers etc can be added in quite easily.

They really are a great listen.
Thanks for your comment.
When I launched Psd2Html in late 2010, I was unable to get on the front page of HackerNews, or any other website for that matter, I was down-voted to oblivion. I had insulting, slanderous comments posted on the Mac App Store which were untrue.
I was ridiculed by "hand coding only" services like www.psd2html.com, the employee lots of people and don't want to make people redundant, but the problem with this approach is that they will never move forward.
I was certain, and I'm still certain hand-coding will go the way of the Dodo.
So Markupwand, thanks for re-validating the idea, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the idea was worthwhile.
I can see that I need to enhance my service/business model/add relative CSS positioning as an option.
I hope we'll be good competition for each other.
Thanks

I'm Chris from GameWeaver and HotKeys is my new app.
I've got some promo codes, so if you're interested, please let me know and I'll send you one, As you're probably aware I only have a limited amount.
(real startup stories) vs (product reviews/facebook news) over time
That's where you'll find the problem, I have a feeling it will be sloping in a certain direction.
Q. How many times do you inspect the compiled assembly to see what it generated?
One day these tools will be perfect, it's just a shame for me that Adobe have copied what I've done for the second time: http://blog.gameweaver.com/2011/08/16/has-adobe-copied-anoth...

2. A module for google checkout, I'm still trying to find a Python one for PayPal.
3. +1 For the HTTPS on custom domains
4. +1 To import and export databases
It's a real shame that a lot of people think TechCrunch is the place you need to go to "Make It"
So you got a bad review, pfff
My only advice would be, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and try, try, try again.
Confuzzled!
Apple currently does not offer any in itunes analytics, for instance, how many people view your app page, how long they spend, do they click the images, do they click buy, if they click buy, do they complete the purchase etc. I'm sure they are working on it...aren't they?
