Does anyone know if the new features are built on top of the wave? It looks like wave was an experiment that is now being applied to the existing products. Honestly, wave is useless in its current form but I am very excited for these new wave like features.

Could this become a usability test? Take your app or device and observe the interaction; positive and negative to improve overall UX. Similar to the drunken user test.W ould the results be valid for business functions where the child does not have or understand the need or problem being solved?

I am a huge fan of the 37signals content. As opposed to failing fast, we are attempting to do it right quickly. Some failures are the nature of the business but we are doing are best to take all parameters into consideration when making decisions.

Thank you very much for your response. We truly appreciate the perspective and reminder that building products for and engaging customers is more important than the framework.

Thanks alot for the comments and RoR suggestion. I am not sure I totally understand the second piece of the post. Are you stating that we will have to spend $$$ now transitioning to a new framework or were you saying that we would have to transition to a new framework before the big sale?

Excellent point but isn't it prudent to take these factors into consideration before choosing a path? We don't want to dwell on the irrelevant but we would like to make a sound decision based on where we envision the product going. Do you have any words of wisdom for choosing a framework? Any recommendations?
