An interesting beta invite policy. 2^n invites where n is weeks in beta.
- Zev 17y agoApparently my email isn't valid. Looks like they won't get my email and I won't find out what this service is. Oh well.
- thaumaturgy 17y agoUgh, I wish programmers would quit trying to re-invent the email regex. While I'm usually a big fan of reinventing the wheel, this is a complex problem that has already been solved, and the solution can be found in just a minute or two on Google.
