Site hung for me (us-east) on the first few tries. Get ready for the HN hug, Ashley!

I've never used any animation tools, and it's been on my list to make a few basic logo animations in css/js. It's striking how many features you guys have managed to ship in a webapp and I'll definitely play with Construct Animate in the near future.

Also want to say that the tutorial/walkthrough is excellent, and gave me a great impression of the core functionality in under a minute. Without the walkthrough, I might spend the same ~30 seconds being unenthused about the UI elements, which others have pointed out have a distinct mid-2000s appearance that I personally don't care for.

Good job :)

Tom here from Construct, spent a lot of time recently working on improving reliability/scalability of website so when I see comments like this always sends a pang of fear through me :)

Site resources looks to be coping just fine which is great (we often get upwards of 20 pageviews per second on our site at peak times) so will put this down as a blip.

Look forward to hearing more about how you get on with Animate, Ashley and Diego have done a stellar job in getting productivity software running in the browser!

Sorry, didn't mean to ring any bells - but hey, you've made #1, so hopefully a little heads' up was helpful!
