Ask YC: Friday Morning pre-release testers for my web app.

4 points by izak30 ↗ HN
I have a hosted CMS, and I would like feedback on the functionality and usability and design.

This is in pre-release state.

It is an in-line CMS, so your administratin looks like your frontend, and it acts like microsoft word on steroids. It builds web sites, not groups of web pages. Please e-mail issac.kelly at g mail dot com if you're interested in testing, or post here and I'll try to troll for e-mail addresses. Thanks

Sounds like a lot of effort to test your app. Maybe a link would be best? Set up a sandbox of some kind?

Two things:

It could be just me but I couldn't figure out how to enter an item at first. It took me a while to figure out that you had to click on the markup button before you can type.

I don't know if I hit an error or if it was MediaTemple's response time, but when I tried to submit - nothing happened.

Sorry about that. This is the first time that I have used the sandbox, and it was linked to the testing version instead of the current version, so part of it was broken, you don't normally have to click the markup button to have anything show up. I'll quit making edits to this while people are playing with it, because as is (now) most everything should work.

works fine on firefox - but not for Safari or it's webkit brethren

yeah javascript/css cross browser compatibility is a pain...
