That's a really slick design and app.

Thanks!

It's for a good cause too. We were expecting a softer launch but once Lance Armstrong mentioned us, we were off to the races.

Fortunately our little xen instance has held up and the exposure has sure made the search for sponsors a lot easier.

Now vote this story up or I'll have to #BlameDrewsCancer for it not making it to the front page!

There has got to be a way to crowdsource some of the funds with http://tipjoy.com . Shoot me an email if you have any questions ivan@tipjoy.com

The only article Lady Fortuna has no control over is your behavior. Good Luck.

As soon as the page loads, the text describing what the site does becomes covered by one of the messages. Epic fail until that is fixed. Quite cool otherwise.

Only if your vertical resolution is smaller than about 750 pixels. Calling that an epic fail is pathetic.

OK, so it's only everyone in the world who's using a 13" screen, which includes, but is not limited to, everyone using a MacBook or a MacBook Air. Do you truly believe that's not a major problem, when all these people are left wondering why Drew's Cancer is being blamed for random stuff? They'll never know that they're trying to raise funds.

I really love the visual design, which is why I said it's only an epic fail until the issue is addressed. Because this is the launch - you can't stop the viral spread of something like this.

Nah. That's part of the charm. Plus, from a practical standpoint, anybody landing on the site would figure out what it does in the first five seconds.

Maybe I should make it clearer: yes, you can figure out what the site technically does in 5 seconds, but you'll never know why, because the important bit is obscured almost immediately: "hopefully... some nice company will donate a dollar for every unique person who Blames Drew's Cancer to the American Cancer Society and the Make a Wish Foundation"

Do you really think people will just figure that out by themselves? Maybe not an epic fail, but definitely a case of sacrificing getting the message across for the sake of visual charm. I had to reload the page 10 times to get the correct wording for my quote above.
