I'm no designer, but this looks great nontheless! Good job.

One thing I noted while reading on here was that currently, non-chrome users are "blocked" (if I understood correctly) by a "not supported" message. I understand you want to focus on Chrome first, but why don't you simply put up that message as "Your browser is unsupported, atomic.io might not function properly" (or a banner on top of the page), but make it available nonetheless? It might not work 100% yet, but when working on cross-browser support you will already have a bunch of people who tested your software on their browsers. These will know the rough edges and can point you into the right direction.

If it's open to every browser I'm sorry I missunderstood this thread. Nevermind my post then.

Hi, you're right that it's restricted to Chrome-only for now. We have tested it in other browsers and there are in some cases issues that would lead to a poor experience - not the sort of experience we want people to have. I do appreciated your suggestion of opening it up anyway though, and as we get closer to fully supporting other browsers this may be exactly what we do. Cheers.
