   Thanks! I'll shoot you an email to make the connection, but I think we're still a bit of a ways away from doing so as we just launched and are still iterating.

   Thanks for your feedback. We'll definitely work on making the product message clearer now that we have more eyeballs to our homepage.

   This is not how Uncover works. The employer is only charged for the benefits the employee uses.

   This is not how Uncover works. We specifically designed it to avoid this. The company is only charged for benefits that the employee uses. Therefore, if an employee doesn't care to use one or more benefits then the company is not charged fo

   What's behind the company name is the idea of uncovering your company/employees potential. We are working toward helping you do just that, but you have to start somewhere and we have a lot still to learn. I love your idea of creating an API

   Thank you, muster! Happy to answer your questions. 1. I've dabbled in web design for a longtime, although I did not design Uncover's marketing site. jakeprzespo.com did that. I did work with my partner Mike to design the internal pages of t

   Thank you. Why we chose to rotate reasons was to project the fact that Uncover can be used for many different things and that you can customize it for your company. You can't really get that across to the user by just displaying one example

   Fair point. You think hovering over them blocks you from seeing what's there? We also wanted to make them wiggle slightly when you first load the page so you know that there's a hover on rollover.

   Sure. I wrote a little bit about it here http://spencerfry.com/why-and-when-to-learn-to-program and I'll write more about that on my blog in the near future. We're using Ruby on Rails as our backend code and mainly picked that because tha

    Fair point and good catch. We'll swap out Game of Thrones for a different streaming title.

    Hah. You're the second person to think we help you learn to roll sushi! Totally valid feedback. I think we need to experiment in shifting the sign up to the left and presenting what we do a lot clearer. As to being able to breakdown benefit

    Hah. You bring up a good point. We'll definitely do some A/B testing as we begin to have more visitors to our website. As we only went live an hour ago, we didn't accumulate enough homepage data to begin testing our assumptions.

    Thank you. I really appreciate it. That's a very interesting idea. We've had some similar thoughts that I think we'll begin to start incorporating over the next few months. We want employees to have more involvement in the benefits, but at

    I'll follow up with a more detailed post, but here's one from a few months ago: http://spencerfry.com/why-and-when-to-learn-to-program I started learning to code in February, 2012 and have been going at it ever since. I've had great mento

    Thank you. We have a Rewards feature where you can send a gift and a personal message to one or more employees for going the extra mile.

    We'd love to work with non-startups and non-online clients. I think that'll be a big part of our market as we continue to grow. During our beta it was only online startups. We only launched publicly within the past hour.

    Definitely. Now that we're seeing some traffic. Time to start some 'ol A/B tests.

    I actually bought it back in 2006-7. I was working on a local reviews site for a few months before working on Carbonmade, which was my last startup before Uncover.

    Here's one from a few months ago: http://spencerfry.com/why-and-when-to-learn-to-program I wanted to keep the most recent blog post solely focused on Uncover. I'll follow up with more coding posts shortly.

    Thanks a lot. I'm familiar with Rypple, but I haven't used it to be honest. We're definitely working on something similar, but with a slightly different approach. We have a feature called Rewards that allow employers to reward employees for

    Thanks! I actually bought it all the way back in 2006-7 for another project I launched. It was a small local review site I was working on for a few months before beginning to work on Carbonmade.

    Thanks, tannerc! We're going to put up a Pricing page. We wanted to release as quickly as possible, so a few pages didn't make the marketing site: Pricing, About, FAQ, Customer Stories, etc. They'll be there shortly, though.

    Thank you! That's part of what we believe: "Discounts aren't effective. There's a difference between 'here's a discount' and offering something special."
