As a non-english speaker, I actually Googled for "hangoutable" because I didn't know what it means and mentions of Sponty came on top :p

On the site itself:

- I have no idea how you're eco-friendly (sorry, the leaf conjures this emotion)

- Underlined blue words are links: I thought I could click on the main page "Katie" and "Dave"

- The logo on http://www.thesponty.com/about is different than on the main page (the beta word)

- About page "Got it." on the question list. Got what? None asks "Got it. So how..."

- "Speak your mind" is a poor choice of words indicating where I can send you feedback for a service that lets me type anything. It looked like I could click there and some page would come up that would let me do something.

But anyway, let's login!

- Can't you put your logo on the Google Account login page? (I honestly don't know). Like, "<logo> Sponty uses Google..."

- Can't you redirect to the main page instead of the /hn doorway? I logged in and had to go somewhere else to use the site. One extra step is bad :(

- I had to delete "Your name here...". onclick delete the input contents. (Firefox 3.0.6)

- My timezone is -3 gmt! Nowhere before it said the site is for USA people :( But let's fake and say I am Eastern;

- Network, same as above.

- Clicked Save, reloaded profile edit. I guess I have to click again to go to the home page?...

- Make your friends hangoutable: http://www.thesponty.com/Inerte_82 But I am not Inerte_82.

- Cliked on Post, form came up: You should put something like a datepicker on "When". It's 02:15 AM here, and 12:00 AM appeared on default. Clicking too much arrows...

- When I submitted the form, a spinning circle appeared on "12 - 3 am" box, but my entry appeared on "3 - 6 am". Spin the cirle on the time I've selected.

- The calendar opacity is too high, showing elements behind

Overall I liked the concept! But I am grumpy tonight I guess :p
