Interesting. Honest question: why would anyone use this? Are there particular use cases you were targeting? Why would someone choose to take a survey on their phone over a website on their computer?

I have no useful comments for you, but I just wanted to say that this is very cool. I love when people create useful and educational apps. Kudos to you, good sir or madam.

I would disagree. From what I have seen, videos are more engaging than a feature list. However, everyone is different, and I appreciate hearing that not everyone feels that way!

In context, I was referring to "getting what you pay for" from free services, not so much the paid ones. With paid services and products, you're aiming to get the best bang for your buck, so obviously you would evaluate cost vs. output or s

Signed up, looking forward to trying it out. However, once you sign up for the waiting list, you seem to be locked out of the About page, which would have been nice to see again. Just making sure you knew! Thanks.

Going to echo this sentiment, however unpopular it may be. Free solutions are great and make business a lot easier and/or cheaper to conduct. However, you get what you pay for. Your mileage may vary, but I have found that many free solution

That's exactly what I was thinking. I was hoping they would compare it to more subtly sexy mother pictures, just to see if the celebrity effect actually makes a bigger difference.

Interesting. What differentiates you guys from Tender App? Also, what are you using for the inbound mail? (That you use to post replies with.) And I'd love to talk shop about what you are using for outbound transactional mail. Product Manag

Looks interesting - I organize events from time to time and I used to be the Co-Chair for a national undergraduate conference in Canada. Would definitely love to try this out and maybe recommend it to the current conference Co-Chairs if it

Check out Freshbooks ( http://www.freshbooks.com ) They have their support team in-house, and they get a lot of freedom to help their customers out and are generally the people who drive the culture you find within their offices. Fantastic

You are 100% correct, and I agree, they aren't the same thing. But you try telling that to someone who isn't so technically inclined. To the average joe, jailbreaking probably equates to pirating, just because it enables you to do so. Just

Many of my friends own iPhones, and many are flabbergasted when they find out that my phone is not jailbroken nor is it filled with free apps. I happily pay for quality apps. Why? It's going to cost me anywhere from $1 to $10, and that is h

Perhaps that is what happens, and it may even be true for transactional mail, but having icons and small images show up without having to click that button seems to be much better for the UX. The tracking image is wildly inaccurate anyway,

by JonLim 15y ago
That I can see. However, there still seems to be a lot of admiration for the guys who can pull off special effects in real life over digitally adding them later. As far as I can tell.

Going to disagree about the video postproduction services - there will always be a market for that even though editing tools are becoming cheaper and easier to use. Why? How many people know how to use Adobe After Effects or Apple Motion an

If you could make the output size much more manageable, and have it actually be usable for larger images, I think newsletter publishers would love the hell out of this. The only external image I can think of that they would want for trackin

I've been slugging it out at work with my 5 year old Macbook at work with an external display and I will continue to until it dies. When it does go though, I intend to make a choice between a Macbook Air and a Macbook Pro. I already have an

Hey, This is pretty damned useful! I'm the Product Manager of PostageApp ( http://www.postageapp.com ), we deal with outbound transactional email, and I have to say, this is probably a godsend for our clients. The only problem I can see is

Are you looking for something like what Tender App ( http://www.tenderapp.com ) has, where every time someone creates a ticket or responds to your response, they send you an email with the content of the ticket, and you can respond directly

Seconding this. The initial load was mighty slow, but everything else after that was pretty snappy.

Very nifty app - took a look at accommodations for Chicago, where I will be going in two weeks, and was disappointed to have found only one entry. Along with it, there was no price information. However, your very clean presentation on locat

I am mostly worried about being deluged in low-quality apps. Sure, they may be paid in the store, but there might be a reason why they need the promotional help, you know? However, I look forward to getting some free apps, hopefully get som

We're paying around $1.30-$1.35 a liter here in Toronto, which is the equivalent of about $5 a gallon, and that's in CAD. Glad we aren't anywhere near your prices... yet. Even sadder: we produce much of our own oil!

Traitor! Kidding. What's this written in? Also, not sure if you noticed, but the signup for city form is broken. Not sure why.

by JonLim 15y ago
Cool! You guys don't have Toronto yet, but your signup form for other cities doesn't seem to be working. Let me know when it works, or when you have Toronto! :)

Very cool idea! Well designed and presented, definitely something I will be recommending to a few friends and family who have kids. Question: on the technical side, what languages/frameworks do you guys use? In addition, I'd love to talk to

Disagree! I'm on the business side of things as well and I started learning PHP last year while freelancing and then switched over to Rails when I started my work with a Rails dev shop. I have found that the process is that I dream up an id

Great app! It's something I will have to play around with for a while, but I really love the design.

Very nifty! I really like that you use the sell by date found on the online receipt to determine when food will expire. Great stuff.
