+1. Quite fast and easy to use.
I've been using this for a few weeks and I'm really loving the simplicity and speed. Looking forward to see how it grows and evolves!
I've also had good luck using Respondent.io to find very nuanced types of users that are hard to find through an agency.
Heh - I was ninja editing that, but yes!
When I was at Viget, we used it to give non-technical editors the ability to assemble rich, responsive layouts within a CMS, based on a set of predefined components. It's a structured approach to building layouts on-the-fly that avoids the inevitable shitstorm caused by editors pasting random HTML into the body well of a WYSIWYG.
If I remember correctly, this page is an example of one created using Col Kurtz.
The component was inspired by Craft's Matrix feature as well as MxM's similar component, Sir Trevor.
I don't know much about the project personally, but you might want to check out Big Spaceship's work on Chobani Home.
