This sounds like an awesome app, however, i think it would be a little bit creepy to have the webcam on whenever i'm using the computer...

Excellent redesign of the home page! Huge improvement over your last version.

I wish Flutter would just turn music off when I walked away from the computer and on when I get back. I always forget to turn it back on when I get back, plus it would be nice to not worry about turning it off.

I had to uninstall Flutter because it opened on install and I couldn't find a way to delete it.<p>I don't have a problem with pausing Spotify because I have play, pause and skip keys on my Mac and I just hate having my webcam on, I know it's not recording or going to the cloud but on the few occasions I tried to put my hand up to pause and play it wasn't fast enough to fit into my workflow.<p>I see where this can be useful in the entreprise and other areas and as the technology develops it will be important though.

We just redesigned our Home Page &#38; launched Windows (7) version of our app to join the mac version. Yes, we are aware that everyone wants to a new gesture. It is being tested right now and will be available soon. In the meantime, please send us your feedback on HP as well as Windows App. Thanks in advance from FlutterTeam.

A lot of people struggle to see the point in this past being a cool trick. Personally i find that when im cleaning the house or washing up(N.B. wet hands) that this App is fantastic. The wait for more gestures is killing me though.

Looks great! I've got a friend who has a set of speakers which come with a separate "control module" which is touch sensitive. It doesn't pause music, but it does a good job of muting it when you need to cut sound quickly - this seems like a superior alternative due to its low cost and ease of use.<p>Also, just a heads up that your /about/ page and your /jobs/ page have dead links to <a href="http://flutterapp.com/jbos" rel="nofollow">http://flutterapp.com/jbos</a> at the top and are missing &#60;title&#62; elements. I can also confirm lukifer's CSS bug occurs on FF13/Linux as well.

Very unique HP and nice redesign! Personally I would add a little more space between the sections if the page. Just feels a little cramped to me.

Design feedback: some indication that we should scroll down, I didn't notice at first and thought the download button was the main point.

Beautiful and effective design. Kudos!<p>One note: there seems to be a CSS bug when scrolling right on a browser window less than 1000px wide (Chrome, Mac).<p>Also: have you considered aiming marketing and features more at the media center market? Every demo pic is of a laptop, and yet turning down the volume from the couch with no remote seems far more useful.

The site looks a bit broken on the iPad<p><a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/388004/flutter_one.png" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropbox.com/u/388004/flutter_one.png</a> <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/388004/flutter_two.png" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropbox.com/u/388004/flutter_two.png</a>

The link to your blog seems to be missing:<p><pre><code> &#60;div id="blog"&#62;&#60;/div&#62; </code></pre> Also, I can't find the instructions for skipping songs and other gestures.

Have the gesture algorithms changed much at all since the initial HN release? I had to uninstall it as it kept mistaking me touching my face/etc as holding my hand to the camera.

Hate to be that guy... But out of I don't know 20 tries it only worked once. Maybe it's because of the room doesn't have enough light..<p>Really cool concept though.

What kind of implications on battery life does this have? As in, constantly running the webcam.
