I’m hoping to see the application from Virtual Ubiquity soon to round out a great suite of Flex apps. (By the way guys, that alpha tester link? If I have to kill someone to get a login, just send me a name ) Sho mentioned in his post on Picnik that HTML took a long time to start to look nice and we’re seeing it with Flex after less than a year. At Threecast, the web startup I joined, we’re taking the same approach that these other sites are and it really shows. A heavy design emphasis has allowed us to get away from the cookie-cutter Flex look and really differentiate the application. I hope we see Flex continue to grow at the pace it has.

As the designer on the Picnik team, I'm particularly thrilled that people are picking up on the details. On a sidenote, Flex has been <i>great</i> to work with. Such a leap forward from having to deal with cross-browser/platform CSS hacks. Very much appreciate the kind words!

This is the first flex app out there other than Y!Maps that actually designed the load/initializing bar, and seeing that nice, smooth loading animation took me by surprise and was a breath of fresh air. Also, this is the first app dealing with photos that I've seen bitmap smoothing turned on ... it's just the little details that make the difference.

Easy to use and navigate application, also they make good use of ToolTip/Popup hints. I agree Sho, this app and the whole experience felt just right.
