Golden Speak (http://www.goldenspeak.com) helps you speak better by analyzing your voice for pitch, rhythm, vocab, fillers, and clarity. We'd like to talk about launching minimum features quickly vs. high user expectations that people have from apps like facebook, etc. Does it make sense to focus more on polish instead of launching within an almost embarrassing feature set?

Oh, just saw that the post title converted the ampersand between Hackers-Painters to the word AND. This was supposed to be a subtle reference to Pg's book, which uses the ampersand. It is a great read if anyone is interested in either subject.

We built Golden Draw to hack the drawing / painting process. With GD, anyone can draw or paint any picture - even if you have no artistic ability. The app works by breaking a picture into tiny boxes, where you draw each box one by one. It's sort of like a computer monitor breaking the screen into pixels, rendering each pixel one at a time.

No technical limitation. It is that most people find it difficult to speak on a random topic for a minute.

We built this using the latest speech recognition technology. The major use case is for people who want to talk better. For example, if you use ums, ers, or ahs in your speech. Or perhaps you talk in a monotone. The app can be installed on ios or android.
