Cool concept. Why the email verification? Also, maybe this is a common issue for email heavy / notification apps, but I almost wish there was something else to do after signing up. Can't think of anything useful though, just feels like ther

Is this a big enough problem for average people? I know people create a "lost phone, need your number" Facebook group or event but is that enough of a pain? I've never seen more than one from the same person. So what exactly are you offerin

I like it because of the clean look and emphasis on viewing, creating, and searching events. All of the blue from the previous version now gets out of the way of the most important information and actions. I also appreciate how the month vi

Agreed but for me, the uncertainty helps fight the procrastination. Not knowing how much is left keeps me humble and working.

I agree. There's also the social stigma of unfollowing. Most folks wouldn't unfollow a close friend, their boss, or a new client they're trying to woo. Facebook has done more to alleviate this problem than Twitter with the default newsfeed

http://proxlet.com/ lets you do this. It's not a Twitter client, it's an API proxy, most prominently used in a Chrome extension for Twitter.com. I built something very similar with http://slipstre.am/ though without client filtering. In

This is why I built http://slipstre.am/ but honestly there doesn't seem to be a lot of demand for this. Even on Facebook, where the feature has existed for a while, the average user I've talked to was never even aware of it.

Thanks for the idea but that's definitely much more complex than what I had in mind: just encouraging people to use more readable JS timers. Feel free to build on top of my code though!
