Show HN: Our startup launched: create visual supports for special education

I know this isn't exactly our target demographic, but I'm very excited to share this with the HN community. My wife and I have been involved in special education for many years, and I'm constantly appalled at the state of the software industry in the field. We're trying to change that, and this is our first attempt. It's a new way to create and share visual supports for use in special education, such as with children with autism.

I would, of course, appreciate any feedback that you can give about the website, and if you or anyone you know is involved in special education, have them give the app a try as well!

Thanks for all the great advice over the years. This entire community is an inspiration.

EDIT: For those technically inclined, the app itself runs on a combination of Raphael JS, SVG, Backbone JS, Share JS, and Node.

I think it looks great. I'm not your target audience either, but my cousin is a special education teacher and she's very excited about it after I passed it along to her.
