I was part of the beta trial and I consider the Bombfell team my friends (even if we've never actually met). This service has changed the way I dress. To address what @jawns was saying, I was one of those who didn't care about brands and

One quick suggestion. If this is for "normal people" (I'd rather have that say non-techies as it's slightly insulting to us non-normals ), try to factor our programming terms. 'Version Control' is a programming term. I would change it t

Sure thing. 1) Hmmm is there some sort of timeout if it can't get the location via GPS? I'm in a room with no sky view so it can't effectively get the location via GPS. It seems to me like it never gives up if it can't find the location (

Yeah that makes perfect sense. Have Android handle the actual GPS interaction and allow app developers to poll for that info. Then, have a global setting in the phone's settings that says how often it can poll the GPS. Get on it, Google!

Couple of quick thoughts after installing: 1) It appears to be continuously getting GPS data. That will kill my battery. Dead battery = I'm late anyway I may need to uninstall until this is fixed. 2) I don't need to be reminded of everyt

I find it helpful to see what other people are using so I can either guide myself towards what I should learn next or know that I'm on a track that's going to be supported for the foreseeable future.

It would be helpful to know how many others believe its a good idea. I might be on the cusp of thinking an idea is good, but I don't want to back a dead horse.

I like this idea. I agree with derekdahmer that it'll be hard to know what will look good on us without first knowing what we look like. What if you had some sort of "paper doll" type system. You upload a full body pic of yourself, and t

Another school of thought on this is if you're trying to look bigger than you are, which alot of startups do, "we" might be more appropriate.

Awesome name! Do you see yourselves competing with the craigslist "for free" section? If so, how do you plan to compete? I'm not sure the map makes up for the sheer number of items on cl. If not, what differentiates you from them enough to

I like the idea. I think with a little tweaking this could really take off. Here's my thoughts 1) For the front page, its a little right in your user's face that you're taking a 50% cut of the money. I would word that differently. Not su

I really like this idea (robotics is one of my passions and anything that makes it easier is awesome). Didn't mindstorms just come out with an android app? Does that effect you guys at all? You definitely have that social aspect going for

I like the concept and it seems like it would make it easier to get an app going. One criticism I have is not so much about the concept but the signup page. On your signup page you have that mini f.a.q. I think around a couple of those qu
