10 Zillion percent better at UI design

At the request of some of our users, we spent the better part of a day building a Snap-to-Grid feature, and a little library of UI controls that you can drag onto the canvas in Twiddla. To be honest, I didn't think it was that big of a change, but wow, was I wrong. Suddenly, mocking up user interfaces is, like, easy!

Give it a shot and let us know what you think!

Balsamiq Mockups copycat!

Indeed. Though to be fair, I think we swiped most of this particular idea from Dabbleboard :)

Balsamiq rocks, by the way. If we ever get a chance we'll be sure to lift an idea or two from them too!

I think you'll find that most software is basically just an improvement of something that's been done before. There were something like 30 existing web-meeting products on the market when we came out, and there are now several Twiddla clones out there. That's just the way it works.

@anonymous - there's always room for improvement.

Jason, that's very gracious of you to credit us at Dabbleboard for the idea. You're definitely the competition we're most worried about :).

Just a minor point, but you might want to add an actual link to your product. Clicking the image just links to the image, and I don't see anything obvious that links to your product.
