cool idea don't know how it will make real money though...

Yes! 6/27/08 3:38PM #

This is a big problem - I look forward to seeing it in action. When is the BETA?

Nice.

hi, this is san.. the co-founder of toufee you see in the video :) @Matt: we are making some very real money for sometime now because toufee provides a very inexpensive alternative to many flash making software that generally cost around $700 and are difficult to learn. @Yes!: we've completed the beta, now in v2.. toufee is a paid software but you can access the full version of the same here for free: http://www.toufee.com/demo.php kind regards, san.

No chance I'd consider this without some sort of free trial. You could end up making a lot more money by allowing basic free accounts altogether, tempting people to upgrade over time. Even so, $20/month sounds ridiculous. $5 is just about the maximum that still can be considered attractive.

@guy: while i appreciate your opinion we're not talking theory here because there are people who gladly pay.. its a pro software with lots of features for fast flash movie making... so maybe you just don't have the need for it yet.. anyway, as for your comment on our pricing, please take a look at this page and you will understand why our pricing makes sense for most non-techies: http://www.toufee.com/adobeflash.php

Pretty impressive. I have tried for about a year to learn Flash and right when I was getting the hang of it, they came out with AS3. For quick stuff, I think you have a real solution here- Big time saver!!

Cool! Voted up. From the demo seems a like a very nice, easy to use interface. The text and button widgets should make it very easy to create flash. BTW. I would clean up the home page and the buy now page a little. There is way too much text. If I had stumbled on the website without watching the video, I wouldn't have thought to run the demo.

I agree with Abhi - get some work done on the website. The site looks pretty much like work-from-home-scams which you see on ebay etc. Great product and price point.

Horrible website (if ur going to charge for it) and if this has been up for 3 years.

I've been using Toufee.com for about 2 months and I think it's a wonderful online Flash creator. Toufee takes the hassle out of learning Flash.

Hello San, Im happy that your giving people the free demo!!! Make like a pro version with more cool features and leave the demo they way it is. Demo=FREE FOREVER PRO v=20$ or whatever price ppl will enjoy the demo and want to buy pro verson. :))

It looks pretty impressive and the price is good. But the website is horrible and looks tacky, save your pennies and get a professional web designer.

not bad, but flash is crap, no idea why its so popular. so many other formats that are much better.
