I just started using the service a couple of days ago, and I'm very impressed. Awesome work. I can understand your problem, though. Honestly, I'm not sure that I would pay anything for it, but I'm not a business user or anything - I'm just

Looks awesome to me. I'll bookmark it and come back if I have need for it. Thanks!

Sorry, but I just don't see a compelling reason to leave Instapaper for it.

I consider it a kind of validation of an idea to see that other people are working on the same thing, but I know how you feel. It depends on your product and market, but I think there's pretty much always room for more than one success stor

I think this is going to be great for OpenID in the long run. Email addresses just make a lot more sense than URLs for logging into sites.

I'm having trouble finding the URL scheme to use... or does this only support signing in with email@gmail.com?

Rails!? That doesn't scale. This is all Erlang.

Maybe it would help if you thought of it as an art project instead. In any case - and I hope this doesn't come off as trolling - isn't creativity exactly the sort of thing us hackers should be striving for? If you measure success in terms o

Shit. I'll have to talk to the CEO about this. We should have done more market research.

Well, I've always been a fan of the 37signals school of thought around bringing simplicity to web applications. You know - the whole "Getting Real" thing. The way I see it, this has a better business model than a lot of web startups nowaday

Nice simple idea, but I won't be using it because it won't be as efficient as browsing headlines/summaries from many sites as once. Still, this could find a decent little niche.

I thought long and hard about getting a CS degree, then I decided to "learn by doing" instead and started working on an open-source project in my free time. Eventually, I used that app as a code sample when applying for jobs as a web develo

I think Yammer is hilarious. The thing is, I don't think they're trying to be funny. Twitter: Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one

Tumblr already uses this lingo, too, and I think it should make more sense to people. I thought that the "RSS is like email" metaphor would work, but I think this is going to help adoption quite a bit.

Just a small point - you can use WP as a CMS and make money doing so. I've actually been using WP to house technical documentation for over 3 years now. I've got a couple of plugins built for this purpose available here: http://almosteffor
