Ed, once again many thanks. This is a gold mine. It's hard to seem thankful enough via a text box, but I hope it shows :-).

I think our biggest problem is that we're giving it mediocre effort. We're on that cusp of doing something great, but we keep treating it like this side project. That means the really small details like the ones you mentioned get overlooked or the smart viral loops get left out. I've always wanted to take Ramamia to a higher level, but I think I get worried about the what-ifs/am i passionate enough/ can it make money/etc aspect.

You're the one that keeps saying it's a side project. Asshole.

haha, I know im kind of being a pussy and doing it to cover my ass. You also have like 4 bajillion other projects! It's more of a do I want to do this full time for passion reasons? I'm pretty certain if I went balls to the wall on the marketing+product feedback side, it could be a success.

Mark and I are comfortable enough with HN to have founder discussions out in the open.
