Fog Creek releases WebPutty

Can someone explain why they would choose a name like Putty which is already a well established and completely different software?

Maybe I'm not understanding this completely (and that's entirely possible!) but why use 3rd party web servers? I like the idea but it just seems like it'd be easier as a browser addon. With the browser addon:<p>||Step 1 &#62; Visit Url or open file ||Step 2 &#62; Click the addon button ||Step 3 &#62; Addon opens double pane and clears any current CSS ||Step 4 &#62; Edit CSS and refresh<p>There's probably already an addon like this. Admittedly I've never looked past Firebug.

the favicon (<a href="http://www.webputty.net/favicon.ico" rel="nofollow">http://www.webputty.net/favicon.ico</a>) looks awfully similar to the notepad++ logo: <a href="http://notepad-plus-plus.org/" rel="nofollow">http://notepad-plus-plus.org/</a>

this is a pretty awesome idea. Maybe I'm just inefficient, but I always find myself spending a stunning amount of time tweaking CSS, refreshing the page, ad nauseum. The only downside I see is that in order to modify your site CSS, it seems you would have to be running this tool, and you wouldn't be able to use your IDE of choice.

It's what you always wished Firebug's css view would actually do.

Why is the favicon the Notepad++ lizard?

Somewhat similar functionality to <a href="http://www.stiqr.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.stiqr.com/</a> Although for stiqr would work even if you don't know HTML/CSS.<p>Wish the stiqr guys had a bit more exposure. Awesome product.

Could someone explain why most recent websites look as if the members of the target audience are five-year old children? This is not a troll - I'm honestly wondering if anyone actually likes such a "design".

I really like this idea and design. In particular the "Tour" is great! I think I will get real use from this service.
