We're going to be writing more information about our proofreading process and adding examples of our work soon. That's a totally fair point.

The quality gradients are actually tied to number of revisions/number of people who proofread the text. We'll put up more information about the way we proofread and how they relate to the different options for quality.

We launched a couple of weeks ago - still testing the waters and seeing what kind of demand there is for a product like this, especially in academia.

I'll ignore the fact that fake viagra sold by spammers is just a generic version of the drug that works just as well, since that wasn't the crux of your argument. Just talked to my friend who was one of the top spammers in the world. It onl

I don't inherently value well-made software. If writing "shovelware" makes me the most money, which in turn allows me to do the things I do inherently value, then that is the rational thing for me to do.

Unlimited texting plans are about $10 iirc. If you can't justify the cost of a monthly texting plan then you're paying < $10, which is hardly ridiculous.

I'm adding the compromised emails to www.hacknotifier.com - you can check if you're part of the release there.

www.hacknotifier.com does this (disclaimer: I started it) - but it requires the user to subscribe to our service. Unfortunately, cold emailing them (which we considered), would be considered spam.
