Very cool feature!
4 stars for what it is, 5 stars if it could get what I want.

Very easy to use, makes a lot of sense.
But it seems to be very rigid (but I’m a non-developer, who knows maybe a code monkey can do more with it).
There seems to be an option for language translation, but I can’t access the “Find Out More” button. On a Spanish website, I can’t go with that.
4 stars for what it is, 5 stars if it could get what I want.
