Also, can you support other login methods besides Facebook?
My office would use it right now. Can you add table tennis?

Two words: customer service. (or lack thereof)I decided to dabble into the world of Bitcoin by creating a Coinbase account and buying a small amount of bitcoin. After the standard length of time required to verify my bank account, I placed an order. Few days later, my order was cancelled for being fraudulent (which it is not). After going back and forth with customer service, it's been days and...
Used it and loved it when it was the mobile app landing page service, paid the $50 for the new reincarnation during the backing phase -- never used it since. Wish I got my money back, actually.
Amen! This has bothering me forever. I'm glad someone got around to writing about this.
First and foremost, congrats on shipping - that's the hard part. As per the product, the UI looks pretty good for a MVP - I would probably polish it up a bit.

Jeez, I couldn't believe it until I saw it for myself. Are people really that dumb?
+1 for Heroku.
I only seriously took a hard look at Heroku in the past week and for what you get — I think it's absolutely fantastic. You can't beat the free, unlimited web dyno vs. AWS's free-for-one-year micro instance.
All of the digital wallet start ups.
Cool, once you gain traction, I would definitely explore partnering with an OEM to get your application preloaded and work out some kind of deal that way. I think it would be a hit.
I think this app coupled together with a rugged kid-proof case would be a knockout combo.
Does anyone know what the future business model is? Pro version? OEM pre-load?
I totally agree with you. If I had to guess, I think it's going to be the way you described it — pick one of these socks from 5 pairs, great, Blake approved!
A celebrity's face always goes a long way.

I wish you the best, like I said it looks fantastic. You can definitely tell that's there's quality and substance behind the product.
This looks pretty impressive. I think the cost is too much, even if it is a one-time cost.
Do you have any paying customers yet?
Don't do it for the money — 99% of startups fail. That's not to say that you might not fall into the 1%. Someone's gotta hit it big once in a while, right?
Do it because you love what you do and are passionate about it. Too many people failed trying to chase money. Don't make the mistake of doing a startup for the wrong reason.
Yeah same here, complicated. :D
Good job — you validated your idea, hustled, and launched. Most people don't get to accomplish this. I wish you the best of luck.
Planning on doing an AdWords or targeted Facebook campaign?
Thanks — didn't know the Brand Resource page existed.

Does anyone know if you can legally use "for Facebook" in your application title as Color "for Facebook" has done?Do you need special permission?
Sure – and what would that be?
