Wow! If this was hard for us, I can only imagine how hard that must have been. Kudos to you for going through such a storm. We're OK now, the product is working and we have users, but we could have easily gone up in smoke. Good thing your business actually became a business and it was good for everybody involved.

College. We did a finance case competition and we won, so we thought it'd be a good idea to work together. We wrote/edited a book "Words of the Music Masters" (failed), then we coached a few seminars for college students/recent graduates (failed!) and finally some consulting (sucked). That was 6 years ago. We both took jobs, now we're back. It's really interesting, we've failed miserably together and starved, we're kinda bulletproof now. Besides, being hungry but not alone made us closer, we're like brothers now. seriously.

So, I'm back. I recommended it to a few colleagues, they're gonna try it as well. Let me take back a few things I said: I'd pay for this, but not that much. But, agencies and PR firms (obvious) could actually get a lot of value out of something like this.

Best of luck

Just signed up. I like the product, although I don't know if I'd pay for it, or if I'd pay a lot. In my case (I'm at pre-launch), press is something I'm looking for, but I'm not entirely sure how well can an app like this be of help. So, what I'm saying is: let me try it and give you better feedback .

Cheers!

Hey, Tom (co-founder) here. Thanks in advance for any feedback you guys can give us! Looking forward to getting some hardcore feedback hahahah :)

Agree for the most part. I'm not the technical co-founder, but I had to learn to code... from scratch. The "all hands on deck" approach for the first part of getting a project off the ground meant I had to learn how to code. So, CodeAcademy, W3S and others came in handy. I'm not anywhere near where I should be (I think I'll never be), but starting broad and only THEN making your preferred language choices seem like the path to go (my technical co-founder keeps suggesting languages and I keep saying "sure, but first let me understand this...).
