Nice work, and thank you for sharing! Design execution is excellent, hope you dont mind if i borrow some ideas. The cash incentive is a nice touch to reward your champions.

New Jersey early stage startup is looking for locals. Show your NJ love.

Hiring software engineers and mobile app developers.

Java, JavaScript, AJAX (JQuery, Prototype, ExtJS) with a working knowledge of Spring MVC Framework and a sprinkling of C# wouldnt hurt.

Ask HN: Is NJ a cool place for a startup?

Hi all. Im in stealth mode with my start up in New Jersey and wanted to know if i risk losing out on talent to NYC because of the lower-panache factor of the address. Is it important to move into/closer to the city as I grow?

Cool idea. I love that you create a shopping list. You definitely want to connect this to your phone so you can pull shopping list in the store.

Revenue will be tough. My experience with recipes are that people dont like to pay for them. You will need ads, and therefore scale. That said, if you have the capital to wait and develop real usage, its a great advertising opportunity (person looking at there phone in a store ready to buy).

I agree with the other comments on the UI, so i wont repeat. As for additional features, add some social media links after signup, maybe a "thank you" email, and an option for multiple landing pages for testing.

I didnt see in the demo, where does the collected data get stored?

Very nice. I spend so much of my time designing reporting like this or doing it manually in excel. I especially like the cohort reporting. Im launching a new product now and will seriously look at a this. Any details on the pricing?

Old news that dating sites manufacture profiles to attract other users, but this approach doesnt seem viable. Its like uploading the white pages, the connect rate for users will be abysmal.
