its nice, but one thing – “any one can create a site like that ”
there is no need off software engineers / web developers a 7th standard boy also make his own site……….. what else in that.

Hmm.. Drag n Drop still lacks performance in browsers. We must investigate solutions to make it better instead keep using whats currently available. The poor performance make this feel a bit like a rollercoaster ride. The author of this project has all my respect for his effort but until the perfomance issues in scriptaculous aren’t solved it will always be not-so-cool-after-all.

I donno what to tell you. The main page has ONE flash video on that. The about page is all images. The signup tab pops up a little js modal. When you sign up, the tools are all javascript, its powered by Prototype and Scriptaculous. Sorry you cant grasp that. 8(

yep sorry, guess i should have installed flash to realize that the broken plugin boxes all over their site were actually demonstrating an AJAX GUI.

demo video is in flash, and the weebly thing seems to be a plugin itself – yawn.

Looks pretty cool to me. And I don’t like the Internet, or Internet related activities.

Interesting…while this doesn’t have all the features of a lot of existing CMS’s, the easy-to-use factor is really nice. I could see this getting snapped up by a big ISP, or maybe a commercial CMS like Jot (which I know was already snapped up). Or maybe sucked into Google’s web site editing tools.

You say this is funded?
