Better calorie counting. My fitness pal is great, but it too long for me to use, I suck at looking up or even knowing exactly what I ate is. What I'd like is an app that lets me just take a picture of my meal, then add any comments tha

Getting the word out: honest and probably in satisfying answer is that it's a huge slog. As an engineer, I kept looking for automated solutions that would be scalable and elegant. All the "growth hacking" talk out there make

Thanks iamwithnail! :) There's a company on the other side of the pond that seems to be making waves -- check out rentify.com. I've never used them myself but their growth stats seem promising and they are vc backed. The founder,

Thanks giulianob. Added it to my ticket list to check :) That is probably not very good since IE usage is disproportionately high among my customer base (side note, I'm going to check my conversion stats by browser now...)

yes, fair enough. even without the 2 way obfuscation, I'd still pay for this. craigslist implements something like this now. If you email a CL anonymized email address and email back and forth, you never get the counterparty's em

As far as I know, 10minutemail does not do this. I personally use 33mail for this sort of forwarding. However these are designed around obscuring MY email address, and using 10minutemail.com or 33mail.com's domains. I need to create e
