I've been following Silverback for a while. The parallax effect on their site has kept me entertained for hours (just resize the window, it's crazy).

But the app will be an invaluable tool to user experience designers. It works well, it's simple, and solves a serious problem that the developers had themselves at Clearleft. Those are the ingredients for a successful product.

Great example of taking advantage of the commoditization of technology. I once worked at a start-up that spent tens of thousands of dollars building a lab to do this. Being creative with what has become standard tech to create a solution that costs orders of magnitude less than what was previously available is the way to build a company. Nice job!
