Great product. I’ve used Kapow — this is much simpler and faster to use, and of course the web interface is very easy to use; the services architecture is great.

However — many improvements are needed. Specifically:

1) Work with forms. I’ve tried forms from multiple sites, adding to basket, clicking on different fields (checkboxes) and setting variables, etc. — no success. Either I’m doing something wrong — need better “documentation” or functionality is not there

2) Capability to change the URL(s) of the dapps

3) Capability to understand “paging” of the results that I’m trying to ‘dapp’ — so that combined results from pages 1, 2, 3, etc. work

4) Re-order/sort fields — somehow order of the fields must be specified to ensure proper sorting of results.

5) Checking/validation of the field names. If you enter characters (>, ~, etc) this screws up the output. Why would you want to enter those characters? well — if I want the output be simply:

> Mike Hall ~ Coordinator ^ 222 123 5546

instead of:

Name: Mike Hall Title: Coordinator Phone: 222 123 5546

I would love to work with you guys to help test / refine this. Excellent lightweight solution that would be great to grow.
