Yeah. I was one of the co-founders/CEO for ~4 1/2 years or so. My other co-founders have since moved the company from NYC to Chicago. They're two awesome guys and doing great things.

Thank you! We're bootstrapped for now. I have had some previous exits with TypeFrag and Carbonmade, so financially I haven't had to work another job while bootstrapping Uncover. Mike and Jason have been doing contract work to pay their bill

Not my intention. I'll follow up with more how I learned to program posts. I have some from a few months ago. See http://spencerfry.com/why-and-when-to-learn-to-program for example.

Not familiar with Subsonic. Are they on Rdio or Spotify?

Thanks a lot. Seeing that feedback a lot in the comment thread here. I think we'll definitely give it a shot.
