Doing exactly this on Kickstarter would be a sure fire bet. Do it now!
Excellent idea, thought I'm also not really sure how you'll get it infront of truckers. Perhaps you could take out an advertisement in one of the numerous trucking free magazines/newspapers that you'll find in truck stops on the highway. Though they're often not cheap to advertise in.

It's always very tedious to find good discount pizza, so this last weekend I set about making a community site to vote up and down the yummiest deals. The system is targeted towards Australian Pizza chains.
I found a bug, when you generate a wallet you can press the clear and reset button and the generate button remains enabled. This allows the user to generate a wallet using an empty string.
This is using Chrome 31.0.1650.57 m

I sent you an email to the one via your contact us link. I like the page!
This looks promising, I'll check it out.
I agree, definitely needs these buttons. Works amazingly well!
This is why I went out of my way to find an alternative processor to Paypal for my most recent startup. Monthly fees were definitely higher but chances of this happening, much lower.
That's an awesome idea, though maybe you should consider mixing up your marketing as a 'take revenge' kind of way instead of the 'pranks' target you seem to be going for at the moment.
'Upload the face of your enemy' instead of 'Upload your friend's face'.
I really like the interface, nice side project.
For a written contract to be valid it needs to be signed. If you never signed any contracts you have no employment contract for him to base any legal cases against you on.
What country is this?
We wrote an app to create invoices for my company as PDF for easy printing. Had a lot of good feedback from business associated so we released it as a full paid app (With free accounts) -

I've had great support from the team at

I read that you spend 0 time on marketing, but how do people find your service in the first place? Is it all organic searching or did you slowly gain traction since 2007 and spread by word of mouth?
I've got an online SaaS I just launched (a month ago) and am struggling to figure out how to get people to even sign up for a free trial.
You mean setup a service similar to stripe to be all all in one service, or the kind where your clients still need to open a merchant account with a bank and you're just the interface?
Shame we don't have a service like that in Australia. Hmm
Looking forward to some of the major US carriers like UPS, or even USPS signing on to this.
My server decided it would be a good time to do an update cycle, at 2am our local time; just bad timing unfortunately for users from the US.
Yep, I totally agree about the term Mail Merge being pretty unknown so I'll get some feedback from friends on what it could possibly be changed to.
I'll be trying direct marketing first to the businesses that already do mail merges so if that fails I'll fall back on search hits and make it more new user friendly.
That's the problem with landing pages. They're always hard to design objectively when you've worked on the product for so long. I'll think of some optional wording for headings etc to better explain it.

A little history first. Back in Jan 2011 I quit my day job after saving up my $ for a year and began my first startup, a hardware + SaaS business. It was exciting and at the end of 14 months I had a handful of customers but not enough incoming to keep me going so I went back into the workforce full time, running it on the side. Naturally my time is pretty limited. Users kept signing up and I...
I don't get much SMS spam and I had to watch the video without audio but it looks really simple to use and if I did get spam I'd be downloading that right away.
Cool video.
That's an awesome idea and very nice execution.
I've been working on a side project for about 6 months. It grew out of a need I saw in some friend's primary businesses and thought it was a worthwhile project. I essentially worked on it about 2-3 weeknights a week and about 4-5 hours on Sat and Sun as time permitted.
I stayed focused by setting small goals, achieve this function by the end of today, then call it quits. Before I knew it the code was finished to my satisfaction. I finished the code at the end of January and have some ideas for the next project.
I try to get one side project (One SaaS app I can sell to subscribers online typically) a year completed. This one took about 200-300 hours I think, thought that's just a rough guess.
The screenshot is nice, but do you have a live demo of some business's testimonials, even if they're fake? I'd like to see how it sort of works and what my customers would be seeing before I create an account.
I'm not sure about being well paid, but I've always thought doing pottery would be pretty relaxing and is about as far removed from IT as I can come up with.
Nice clean design. I'd recommend enabling pagination on the page numbers though. I tried to click on number 2 for page 2 and it didn't work.
