You probably have to be a coder to build software, right? Well not necessarily, according to a new web app called Kimono that promises to "turn websites into structured APIs from your browser in seconds."

Okay, okay, we'll translate that to English: Kimono basically lets you snap off pieces of existing websites, throw them into a bucket, and recombine them at your pleasure.

"We asked ourselves, if getting access to structured data from around the web is so interesting to us, why wouldn't it be interesting to everyone else, even people who can't code?" says Ryan Rowe, co-founder (with Pratap Ranade) of Kimono. "The design of the site and the direct simplicity of the interactions are directed squarely at this broader, technically minded--not necessarily technically skilled--audience."

Rowe and Ranade designed Kimono to be both unobtrusive and visually direct. "Dark overlays with bright colors stand out against all the noise on your average web page, while not getting in the way of what's already there," Rowe says. "People also like tangible, direct actions. What's more direct than clicking on the data that you want? This manifests itself in little things as well, like the colored highlights that appear after you select something and animate into their organized positions."

The duo hope to expand it into "a data-driven version of Squarespace for apps."
