Hey Andrew, Thanks for the feedback, extremely useful. >1) I know I mistyped my email first time around, but even with the second attempt, the round-trip of the email confirm was lengthy. Not condusive to quickly getting people using the site. Considered OAuth for pain-free / instant login?
I'll get our devs to look into this, should be pretty instant so there's obviously a problem. >2) Reordering the slides. Should be available this month. >3) Colours: The colour picker is global. The solution to this confusion is a preview that updates so you can see what you're colours will look like on each slide as they each use them differently. >4) Section preview Will also be available this month. >5) Um... the payment model We'll be selling on a per video model until we're either generating revenue or have raised investment to allow us to explore other revenue models. We'll most likely introduce a subscription model in time but we've got a lot of work ahead before then. Thanks again for the feedback, exactly what we need right now :) On Tuesday, 4 February 2014 13:09:55 UTC+11, Andrew Ballard wrote: > > Great work, James. > > I had a good play, and made the following notes - feel free to take on / > ignore / rebut at will: > > 1) I know I mistyped my email first time around, but even with the second > attempt, the round-trip of the email confirm was lengthy.
