I gave it a go and couldn't get useful data extracted. I sent a support query with attached PDFs.


I recently hired a 30 year old Rails developer who had completed a 3 month Rails crash course in London. He was an archeologist beforehand with no prior programming experience.

I'm so impressed with how it has turned out, I'm looking to make my next hire from the next batch of recruits.

If you can't afford a crash course like the one I mentioned, try Code Academy and Treehouse.

It is definitely not too late for you!


I have absolutely no idea what to do


The idea is, you'd double click to start creating elements, and design your error page, then save. It'll give you a script tag to insert on your static error page et voila.


I had no clue what the hell you want me to do :-) Seriously, this needs two or three lines of good explanatory copy.


Agreed - going to be updating it tonight, sorry for the trouble!


So the idea here is that someone who can write an entire web app can't do a basic HTML page for a 404?


Haha its about saving time - as someone who designs and codes, I hate spending time to make these pages. So I was solving my own need.


You should spend more time designing good 404 pages - they can help significantly with retaining users and helping them find what they want.


I agree 1000%, this is supposed to make that faster.


The bundle was $95 yesterday. I still will be buying it at the weekend though.


With the 20% discount it's only $5 more now that it was yesterday. (The coupon code is '2ndEd'.)


As an average Joe, I've got no idea why I should click to begin a screencast. What does it do and why should I do it?


Good point. I know it's not crystal clear and that is largely my fault because I see it every day. I am hoping the newer style widget will clear things up maybe. The startup is allowed to customize an incentive when they get their widget code to display on their site. The purpose is to get something from the startup as a reward for beta testing their app. (A free upgraded plan, or some swag etc.)

Video recorded feedback has been proven to be much better than text based feedback. Why write out a problem and have something get lost in translation when you can show them and talk them through it?
