Ask HN: Review my startup txtful - get stuff done on the web by sending a text

Awesome idea. Two criticisms, however:

You should get a privacy policy up asap. You're collecting and storing a lot of private information, so you should have a policy that dictates your stance.

Also, not having SMS support yet is a deal-breaker. I realize you're working on this but without this I can't use your system. As someone that doesn't have a smart phone I was excited to try your service but when I realize it was e-mail only, immediately lost interest.

Good luck with everything, and send and update to members when you have SMS support.

Hey Jasber, we do have SMS support and Email, IM, etc. Just go to your account page and add a Mobile Phone identity.

Thanks guys. I must have missed that. After I couldn't get SMS working I headed to the FAQ where it said you were still working on it.

I think I just need to read a little more carefully :).

Thanks for giving us a head's up about the FAQ. I've fixed it, so we don't confuse anyone else. You've done a good deed! Let us know if you find anything else.

Prompting users to create additional identities the first time they login would be helpful. I also missed how to do the SMS thing and just assumed it was because you were still in beta mode.

Thanks for pointing this out. We might have missed a step on the home page. We do have SMS support. You can find it on the account page/identities.
