   Thanks for the note. I did try and optimize the site for phones and tablets, but wasn't able to test it extensively. Will look into fixing landscape mode shortly.

    Yeah it's good practice to take your private beta slow and invite early adopters in small batches. Seeing your service is all about understanding your users, how did you decide which users to give access to the private beta first? Or w
