I am not sure I understand your first question, at least not fully. Would you like a syntax for changing the color of a portion of text? I haven't got there yet. I thought I should first introduce the most basic customization features. Text alignment: it depends on the component. To which one do you refer exactly? 2) That would be a good idea. I think that one would need to pass the coordinates of the location, but then how do you get them? Does GoogleMaps online version offer you the coordinates and not the entire URL? 3) The syntax for underline is _this_, underscores surrounding the text. I am afraid that yes, I haven't mare it available in the documentation just yet. The "Powerfull Formatting Options" paragraph on the <a href="/features/" rel="nofollow">Features</a> page describes the syntax briefly. 4) I use the <a href="http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/" rel="nofollow">FamFamFam silk library</a> . You could download it and have it on your disk handy. I'll consider documenting it in the application help... but for now I don't want to increase the size of the application too much. I'll see what I can do. I hope this helps! Cristian Matthew, thank you so much for your comments!

I'm looking forward to exploring. I'm a Balsamiq user and enjoy the ability to quickly create screens. However, and you've covered this on your blog, a mockup soon becomes an interaction and an interaction needs to be mocked up. Questions... 1) Is there a way to align the text center or right in a control? I couldn't see it in the mention on the features page. Maybe the better questions is, what are the extent of the text tags and where is the documentation? It seems like color is offered for a text object but selecting a color doesn't alter the tags. 2) Is there a way to pass the Map component an address parameter like you can with YouTube/Vimeo? 3) Syntax for underline? 4) A reference for the icon names? Great start to an interaction design product that fills a unique need. Good luck! Matthew Bowe Nice work Crisitian. I’m looking forward to exploring.

One way is to create components by grouping existing ones and this is in plan to done soon. The second way is provide an API for custom components. That's also in plan but the application has to stabilize first. Thanks for your idea! It's definitely worth considering. Cristian There are two ways to address this.

If you add the ability for us to create/share our own reusable component, I'll definitely buy. To be more specific, you should provide for a public library of user-created components that's accessible from inside the application. Well done!
