Thanks for the feedback! Can I get the address that was giving Bounce trouble? We'll take a look.

Rest assured, this was rolling around in our heads longer than two weeks ago, and we had no idea a SW team had tried to build something like this. Not that, that would have changed anything anyway... :)

Thanks for sharing. Our take: - We try to only run GPS when your next calendar event is coming up. - Right now we have an application-wide setting that says, "Add X minutes to my travel time." We're hoping people will use that to accommod

Good call, thanks for the suggestion. I'll see if I can come up basic privacy agreement. Thanks.

We'll try it out in a place where we can't get a GPS signal make it better. Thanks again.

Thanks a ton for the <title /> issue. Fixed. Video forthcoming! Re unbounce, yeah we'll build our own site shortly. Thanks again!

Thanks for the feedback. It should get your location from the network if GPS isn't working. Will look into it. Yeah, place lookups are really rough now - that's really high on our priority list. Forthcoming version versions will be much be

Good call. We'll start working on a video shortly. We use some rudimentary location lookup APIs now, but hope to improve them going forward. We should have place lookups soon (e.g. starbucks, etc.) but places that don't show up on Google m

Big thanks for the feedback Jon. 1. Bounce doesn't actually (at least it isn't supposed to) use your GPS all the time. It should poll for updates every 30 minutes until it gets closer to when you need to leave, then we ask for updates the

Btw, if any HN readers want a copy, let me know your UUID (here or at vibetogether.com). Latest version also vibrates phones, so you can use it w/o an OhMiBod.

The OhMiBod runs off audio signals, but it doesn't require both audio channels to operate so I send the audio signal from the app through one channel (i.e. the right speaker) while the phone conversation runs through both. To have a conver

Shameless plug: we recently launched a service to help folks discover and evaluate different cloud computing offerings. In addition to Rackspace & EC2, you might consider Linode, GoGrid, SoftLayer and a small pile of others. It's free a

Thanks for the feedback. As opposed to meaning individual companies suck, we wanted to say, "the way to find the right online services today" sucks. It's just not simple. In the video we tried not to be too harsh on any one solution - we're

TBD. This experiment is all about testing hypotheses. If it turns out we can sustainably provide value and generate revenue, perhaps there's a business here. If not, we'll see what fell short and seriously consider fixing it.

There's a really nice, and free, extension for chrome called StayFocusd that I use. https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/laankejkbhbdhmip... You can mark sites you visit as "time wasters" (e.g. news.google.com, hulu.com, HN, etc.)
