Just out of curiosity, why would they not want you to use their classifieds? Unless I am missing something, they don't collect revenue for listings. I thought Craigslist was all about spreading good will. If Pad Mapper provides a more efficient way of spreading that good will, then why not?

As a user of PadMapper, I am very disappointed to see this happen. Craigslist is almost unusable if you don't know the area you are looking to move to.

I haven't printed a boarding pass since Delta came out with their app. At least in SLC, you don't need it.

Anyway you can add this to Stitcher?

I had problems installing it on older versions of OSX (Leopard), mainly because I was VERY new at managing the command line and understanding the relationships between ruby, rails, gems, etc and all of the various versions. I later got a new MBP and installing from a new install was very straight forward, but having to upgrade everything first and then installing it wasn't fun for a n00b like me. I would be interested in seeing this project as I think it would be easier for new kids on the rails block.

So I'm learning Rails myself and I'm nervous about the whole deploy to Heroku part / the cost of hosting a small app. Did you have to buy additional Dynos to handle the traffic from HN? $35 for an additional Dyno isn't the end of the world, but shared hosting for $5 a month at railsplayground is a whole lot cheaper for a humble junior developer like me.

The site looks great! Congrats on your first app launch!

Jason's show and network is what gave me my entrepreneurial spark a year ago. Great guests and great content. He does need to move the show to SF though. You can only interview LA founders for so long. I've really enjoyed the shows the past few weeks @ CNet and Waze because he has interviewed some of the most prominent tech startups.

I'm not loving the sales theme strategy. I like that it is a different approach and all, but when I have something to sell I'm not going to wait until the right "theme" comes along. If I have a guitar that I want to sell now I shouldn't have to wait until a music theme comes along.

Maybe I am missing something and I would love some direction if anyone can provide it, but it seems like the whole idea is to provide a platform to sell the junk you have lying around in a fast and convenient manner. Waiting until music day to sell my Strat doesn't sound very convenient.

No disrespect to the founders or anything, I'm just a little confused. I love this concept of selling your junk quickly with automated price suggestions, that is brilliant. I'm just lost on the theme angle.

Seems like a great product idea, but it looks like I am only able to sell a video game item. How do I sell a guitar? I'm an ignorant user...

If I were to get selected during this round, when would I actually be expected to report in Chile?
