Do people think apps succeed automatically? Dump thousands into ppi, send out 100 emails to mobile blogs and hope for a review, buy lots of ads targeted very specifically.

Site is a bit text heavy. How's it better than wunderlist?

What's wrong with the data? Why are you getting rid of it?

Also: your server is struggling with the small amount of traffic you're getting..

Newsletters are 100% spam no matter how you look at it.

Do they provide any value? No. They exist solely to make money or get traffic.

You're doing it wrong.

I'm a Forrst member and I've followed your little site from the beginning. You have a neat concept but your promotion strategy is pretty bad. I'd also not try to make a profit from day one.

I was under the impression you aren't able to downvote on this site. In the same way this site is Reddit except the fact you can't react negatively to anything (downvote), we now need to do the same for comments.

You either upvote or you do nothing. You either comment positively or you don't comment. Excellent job patio.
