   i grew up speaking german and i live in SF. I call bullshit on TFA, because last time I checked the german speaking area was culturally diverse in the traits mentioned. Repeating stereotypes: people in Vienna don't yell and call bullshit on

   create a demo site. personally i wouldn't start entering passwords before having seen a demo and being convinced that it'll be useful. also a votebox (as in dropbox.com/votebox/) to suggest widgets would be nice.
