I tend to agree - there's something wrong with the screenshots/slides right now. Of course, for some reason I can't explain, I also like having them around in some fashion, so users can experience parts of the app without trying them. Perh

I agree - I it's such a great forum for launching a web app in general. I just want everyone to know I'm reading everything that's said!

Hah, interesting. It's definitely a balance between showing the categories, or some of the categories so that users know they're there to navigate. Each category will be getting grayscale icons - we'll see if that helps at all.

These are all good suggestions, which I've added. Sorry about the 500 errors - I pulled the trigger too quickly on deployment. I've started to keep track of the todo list publicly at: http://www.wappied.com/about

Probably 2-3 weeks of on and off development work. I've got a lot of other things going on, so I didn't keep track too well. I did hire another ruby on rails contractor to augment some of my development work, which I highly recommend (if

Sorry, I was pushing a fix for a few errors, and it took 60 seconds or so for apache to figure out Mongrel was up and running again. I'll stop pushing fixes for awhile!

I agree. I took the ads and pushed them to the bottom. To your point, creating a review has to be incredibly easy. I think there are a couple other things UI-wise that can be done to make sure of this, like letting users click on the sta

I agree with this for apps, to be sure - I think I just implemented it that way because of second-nature. I will remove the login until app creations become problematic.

Hi John, Doh! I'm not sure what happened here. I resent the email to your info address.

I like that one. We do have "suggestions" to existing apps, which anonymous users can make (which basically creates a diff, which has to be applied by an admin, or the owner of the app). But we definitely need something similar for adding

Hey, Thanks tstegart. I whole-heartedly agree. The categories, aside from high quality reviews are the most important part. When you want to find the best app for a particular use, you don't really care about how good it is for some othe

Hey David - thanks for the feedback! We're adding a lot to our project roadmap based on it. I totally agree with the annoying ads. Do you have anything that can work on facebook? =) We might also do video ads from Google, if we can. We

Well, give it a try. Again - a tool is just a tool and it has to fit the hand of the person using it. If Java is your thing, Java is your thing... but there is a lot to love in Rails. Give it a shot for your own edification - a lot of mak

Hey - I'll let my co-founder dan talk to you about git + joyent. As for javascript - javascript is actually a decent language IMHO, the debugging just SUCKS. And the libraries are quite young. I hadn't seen extjs, but maybe I'm alone w

You're right, it was a risk - but a calculated one. We heard a lot of good things, and decided to try it out for two weeks. At the end of the two week period, we loved it. From the syntactic sugar to the ease of caching, to everything e
