Full disclosure: I developed this app, and Nancy's article really gets to the meat of why I'm excited about it.

I like the interface - how you mimic the original canvassing clipboard. Are you going to sell to the other side (Republicans)?

Thanks! I love how it came out graphically as well. I think it succeeds at physicality without being too kitschy. Maybe.

It relies pretty heavily on a lot of internal DNC technologies, though I'm sure the Republicans have similar systems.

Also, I'm not sure the Republicans could afford it… http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/16/rnc-re-assigning-ne...

Didn't they just kill this article in a different form?

We linked to the product page in an earlier submission and it was killed, which seems odd to me—people link to their iPhone apps all the time, and honestly this is a pretty nifty and interesting one. If someone feels this is inappropriate for HN I'd love to hear why.
