Any particular reason you haven't turned this into a startup?

Mostly time at this point, but I also wasn't sure if there would be interest. I should have some more free time this spring... maybe I'll work to get an MVP out then? I'll let y'all know.

I would buy it! You could charge per-usage too, since most people don't have an unlimited stream of people coming to their apartment every month.

I'm not sure how the phone # allocation works but I imagine the biggest challenge is getting local #'s for people who don't have google voice or whatnot.

I applied to YC with this exact idea, and didn't get in. Of course, there are a lot of factors- but I guess it was an idea they didn't love.
