lol. In 1999 I am sure not many websites looked any good, the "goodness" you speak of is relative. Take a good look around. In 2019 none of the websites you visit today will look any good either.

I think you have a solid idea, but your implementation is wack. If you can code, why would you use some platform that has absolutely nothing to do with your service? Its just going to create problems down the line. Ex. URLs.

I honestly suggest, you spend about a week implementing this yourself. Its trivial.

PG,When does an entrepreneur stop being and entrepreneur and become an employee? A passive, unassuming employee willfully blinded by the facade of calling oneself an entrepreneur.After reading your post "Startup Ideas We'd Like to Fund" along with 200-some comments, everything just seems watered down. It seems all too "Model T". Its as if people are willing to build these products just to build...
