I love tiggzi. Been using it for about a week now. Learning curve has been just about right. The development model is extremely intuitive and has very few "WTF?" moments. Nothing I haven't been able to find out a way to do yet. I'm an experienced developer, but never used jquery - but I'm having no problem getting up to speed in tiggzi. Great stuff. You are onto something good. I have a handful of suggestions to make things even better:

• Control of centering/alignment for things other than text
• Control max screen width, and background/style settings for the main browser window- allow me to use the same HTML for desktop users
• Anything that maps to a storage variable, also allow mapping to a javascript variable (mapping an entire result object rather than just the scalars)
• On any mappings etc a "show me the code" so I can see how it will end up in the .js file - gives me the option to copy & paste the code in a javascript event to make it do things you can't do in the configure dialog
• big one - allow me to define a condition (javascript) on any event
• show the object IDs (maybe allow me to control them) basically make it easy for me to know what the resulting object is so I can write css or js for it without having to go into the sources.
• separate the static content from the generated content in the generated output - right now whenever I download the project and upload it to my server I have to upload everything because some of the changed files are deep. Its not that many files but its a pain to navigate to them. This would make my workflow quicker, but right now I make as many changes as I can before taking time to upload for testing. Note that I'm not hosting on tiggzi, am hosting in AWS.
• Anything you could do to improve the testing workflow above woud be great. I tested for a while with the test version hosted on tiggzi- quick & painless- but I couldn't call my services. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I suspect it was a cross-site scripting issue. Putting the html on the same server as my ajax urls fixed the problem, but now I have a painful testing workflow.
  Thank you for an excellent product. Looks like its exactly what I need!

So I finally went through some of the documentation. The fact I've gotten as far as I have without it is a testament to the intuitiveness of the app. There's a bunch there (and in this forum) that are going to be extremely useful.

In particular- I found the page on services and cross site scripting. Clicking the simple proxy checkbox- problem solved. Now I have seamless testing workflow. I don't know if its safe to be this happy.

Thank you for the feedback, we really appreciate it.

A lot of the source features that you mention are going to be available in our new HTML5 version of the builder (planned for late October). We will also be adding the mapping features that you mentioned.

The events/action -- we are going to have a new editor where you will see the code generated and will be able to write custom code. It's going to be much simpler, yet more powerful.

As for testing, looks like you already figured it out. Services that don't support CORS (cross-domain calls), you need to use the proxy we provide.
