Something for developers and something for clients. As we start to build custom modules which go outside what our core development platform can do out of the box, a coherent visual way to spec them is fantastic. Jumpstart is for building content and navigation in a text based website. Simunicator is about building web apps. Now this is more like it. Something for developers and something for clients.

Everybody knows about Basecamp, why do you want to study this one again? Why not check some other tools. They might turn out to be even better than Basecamp. For example, check <a href="http://www.wrike.com" rel="nofollow">this one</a> out. I think their "creating and updating tasks via email" feature is simply a killer. Samuel, this is just pathetic!

Those who would use Jumpcharts are probably not the same as those who would use Simunicator. I use Simunicator because I'm a business analyst who sees great value in creating a prototype of a website or any other type of business application. And while getting approval via collaboration is a main goal of making sure my team's developers deliver what our customers need, Simunicator goes beyond the UI prototype. Because it integrates actual use cases I would be writing anyhow, I use Simunicator to build a completely functioning beta version of the customer's app....extremely useful and valuable.

I started using JumpChart for our organization last week. It's exactly what we were looking for because it SEPARATES content from all the other elements of the site/page. We've been trying to rework our site and invariably, the folks doing the writing would get bogged down in process and critiquing the menus even though I kept telling them to just look at the words. Our site is very simple in structure, but I can see using a tool like Simunicator to break down the thinking behind a site, and a tool like JumpChart to focus purely on the content. @Joe, you’re right.

I'm Joe, one of the creators of Jumpchart that you featured here a week ago(thanks btw). I would like to think that Simunicator is a lot of things that Jumpchart isn't... and that's a purposeful decision on our part. To set these two products in opposition of each other might be a natural conclusion since they both attempt to plan web based projects. From where I'm sitting, the type of person who might choose Jumpchart would never choose Simunicator. Jumpchart is about content, simplicity, and collaboration... Simunicator is about a lot of other things. Congrats to the Simunicator guys on coming up with a different approach to project planning. It's not for us, or anyone who would use Jumpchart, but for people concentrating on interface, and process, it will be a hit.
