- ashleyreddy 16y agoPretty site. How many signups do you have?
- notAdvertising 16y agoOver 100 so far. Haven't implemented the social media aspect that will really kick it off. Still looking for a little bit of money to get that done! Hopefully that could happen at the YC.
- niico 16y agoI love your idea and your homepage design! I tried and it seems a little hard to figure out what to do in each page. Maybe add more info, tips, tutorials, etc.
- notAdvertising 16y agoRight now, it is specifically designed for personal trainers to sign up and use; so it is a little bit easier for a trainer to grab-hold. However, we agree that guidance is needed and are already working on improvements within its communication.
- zbruhnke 16y agoGetting basic functionality done now. I literally thought of the idea just a couple weeks before I filled out the app so I will have a demo done before interview time, but a public beta will not release probably for at least another month or two. I have multiple ideas in multiple stages of development, like most devs do i'm sure, however I applied with what I thought was the most promising idea that will monetize easier than others.
- cmykgrayscale 16y agoI think one should work on ideas which they are more passionate about than worrying about monetization. Hard work will pay itself.
- zbruhnke 16y agoI am certainly passionate about my idea ... since it came to me I have done nothing but eat sleep and breathe this idea. I own a tech consulting firm by trade and have literally sent my employees out to do jobs I would usually do myself just so I could spend more time working on this project. That is part of the reason I chose it to apply to YC. I was not "looking" for an idea to pitch to YC, but I felt I could benefit greatly from YC. In most cases when I think of a new idea I bootstrap it and work for an exit without outside investors (I've already had a decent exit in the software industry) however I felt that YC experience could A. Help me build a network in SV where I plan on moving in the near future anyway B. Get insight some of the greatest minds in our industry C. Have an experience which I felt could not be matched in any bootstrapped company, because of the opportunity to meet other likeminded individuals who share my interests and passion for technology.
