We launched this last week as a weekend hack project, and have managed to get 2000 users in a week. We're pretty pumped! Still working on a lot of features, but as an MVP we're pretty happy with it. Feedback/comments welcome!

Ok...well... we still have some work to do. Sorry! EDIT: we'll be adding the ability to up/down vote images and flag as inappropriate. Really keen to keep it clean!

I gotta be honest, I was super stoked to see this, and was immediately thinking "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY". But after watching the two "free" videos... I'm actually less inclined than I was before. Watched both and

It also has a lot to do with the rate at which you took to get to that "death zone". If it takes three years to get to $50k/mth, there will be big question marks around your ability to scale beyond that. It's not a coinc

I agree for the most part. I wrote a follow up post that goes into some of these issues as well. https://macropod.com/blog/funding-a-startup/ These things are hurdles, but there are hurdles everywhere you go. You

Perhaps you need to go to a different store? Lego City is still by far the biggest representative in most stores I visit. Whilst they do have Star Wars, Marvel/DC, Minecraft etc, their own branded pirates, Ninjago and Chima represent a
