I think we are going to offer it under backer.app.net/project-name. It's something worth testing I think. fwiw I have personally witnessed a significant percentage of consumers accusing a crowdfunding project of being a "scam

My instinct is that trying to run multiple Backers at the same time might make it harder for any one of them to succeed, and thus it might make sense to run them serially. We are certainly open to trying things like this out, and sharing th

Thanks We are using it (and plan to continue using it) for our own market validation tests, and so yes it is connected. We are also making use of a few App.net API features to power it.

App.net is a subscription service. We have a subscription state machine that works great with Stripe. We have systems to deal with upgrades, downgrades, proration, shifting to different plans. Additionally this requires us changing our acco

There are lasting legal, technical and support operations that we are willing to take on long term if the market's big enough to support it. Otherwise, it's not worth the effort to implement those long term.

It doesn't change anything from my perspective, that is the idea behind part-time vs. full-time. The other part-time partners all have fulltime jobs as well.

pmarca has been a personal friend and mentor to me for over 2 years. I have learned a lot from him. I know where he stands about all of this. I don't want to drag him into this fight any more than he already is, but I don't think you unde

1) I am unhappy that I wasted my time and energy building on a platform that encouraged me to do so, and within the matter of months changed their mind. This is the same thing that makes me unhappy with what Twitter is doing to their ecosy

You are right, it could be a communications problem. There are a few details I left out of this post that would suggest it probably isn't. I would never have spent months and capital building this without constant support and encouragemen

Rather than get involved with all of these threads, I'd like to clarify something. I build a product that pre-dated App Center by several months. Facebook dev relations people tested it and actively encouraged me to build it. I was assured

Rather than edit my earlier comment, which some would classify as sneaky, let me paraphrase what I am trying to say: "I get it, this may not work. I have repeatedly admitted this is a crazy plan. If http://join.app.net doesn't reach 100%
