SproutRobot Sends You Seeds And Tells You When To Plant Them
- waterlesscloud 16y agoPrevious discussion from the founder of SproutRobot here: http://apps.ycombinator.com/item?id=1336406 http://apps.ycombinator.com/item?id=1336406
- NathanKP 16y agoWhy did you link to apps.ycombinator.com rather than news.ycombinator.com?
- waterlesscloud 16y agoI just grabbed it off google, didn't notice really.
- NathanKP 16y agoAh, I see. I just noticed when I went to the URL that I was no longer logged in, so I checked the URL, thinking that maybe it was a phishing scheme. Of course since it was on the same domain, just a different sub-domain, I figured your url was probably trustworthy, but still a little strange.
- coryl 16y agoCongrats on the coverage!
- spking 16y agoGreat UI design. It's whimsical and fun without sacrificing intuitiveness and overall usability; not an easy balance to strike.
- bertm 16y agoI am curious about what it takes to get PR on Techcrunch.com for a new startup.
- cj 16y agoIt takes something that's worth being written about. Connections help.
- erikpukinskis 16y agoJason Kincaid just emailed me out of the blue and said he was probably going to write a story about it.
- budu3 16y agoAll the best Jason
- charliepark 16y agoI'm guessing it had to do with the graph DHH linked to earlier today?
- erikpukinskis 16y agoActually Jason contacted me before DHH linked to me, fwiw.
- NathanKP 16y agoWow, its nice to see SproutRobot featured on Techcrunch. I hope it goes well for you, and I would like to see a follow-up on what kind of results you get from the Techcrunch feature.
- erikpukinskis 16y agoYeah, I'll definitely post about it. It's interesting watching the progress.
- hoop 16y agoAs a new gardener who is also writing software centered around the subject... this is awesome!
- aresant 16y agoNote to the founder - Just a FYI the security certificate isn't working (at least on the 19.99 program) - great ui updates btw !
- erikpukinskis 16y agoYeah, not sure why that's happening. The joys of deployment.
- sown 16y agoNeat! I wonder how they handle shipping and warehouse...
- roryokane 16y agoFrom the name, I expected it to be some small robot that walks around and puts seeds in pots for you. It took a while to realize that wasn’t the case.
- mmilo 16y agoCongrats on the coverage Erik, hopefully awesome things come of it. FYI, we whipped up something similar but catering for Aussie gardeners over at http://sowhappy.com.au http://sowhappy.com.au
- xavoy 16y agoFellow Aussie here, just weighing in with a thank you sir!
- mmilo 16y agoYou're most welcome :)
- erikpukinskis 16y agoCool, nice job. :) Way to keep things simple. Good luck!
- wanderr 16y agoI've been pining for just such an app for a while now. Nice!
- cullenking 16y agoCongrats! I was really excited to see your site mentioned after reading about it last month on here. It's a great idea, and it's fantastic to see it getting some really solid coverage. Best of luck!
