I switched and it's the same, still down.

Looks nice and I like the whole privacy-focused ideology, however isn't this just an operating system with a control panel that easily allows you to install programs using a graphical interface vs. the command line? You know, like webmin/virtualmin, cpanel, etc.?
I suppose it makes a lot more sense to install a os + control panel on a device such as the rpi than a webserver (like using XBMC on a HTPC), so your project may have a future :)
Good luck!
Unfortunately you cannot download the source code, the link is disabled. And the GPL license he says he is using requires that the source code must be available for download without any restrictions like "send me an email" or "create an acount".
Edit: I sent him an email :)
Maybe the javascript is intentional, like a honeypot for hackers :)
Works great but it would be nice if you could also use the the movement on the iPad as a relative start point from where the mouse cursor is on the computer screen... you know, just like a notebook's touchpad.
For example if a slide my finger from the middle of the iPad to the bottom right corner, the mouse cursor on my computer is moved from the middle of the desktop to the bottom right corner, no matter where the mouse cursor position's when the action starts. There should be a checkbox (relative movement or something) so when you slide your finger on the iPad the mouse cursor on your computer uses its current position and moves with your finger, it should not be repositioned where your finger first touches the iPad screen.
Also, one tap should equal a left click, and maybe two taps a right click.
Also, maybe you can get a screenshot of the desktop instead of the white background on the iPad? Then you would have something similar to a VNC server-client thingy, which I'm using right now on my iPad and computer :)
Overall looks nice but there is a thing that I don't like: the dark background on your homepage and pricing page, it really breaks the page as a whole. Make it a lighter color, a light, warm blue or green or yellow. The dark color really bothers my eyes.
I'm in the same situation, but I'm from Romania. I emailed the embassy with the details and they said I should apply for an E2 investor visa - you can read more about it on the US State Dept. website. As long as you own the majority of the company, you should be able to legally stay in the US and work for the company.
However I think you need some proof that you got funded to apply for the visa, for example we are waiting for an acceptance letter (if we get accepted obviously) from the startup accelerators we have applied to. After we have the letter we will apply for the visa.
I'll be launching a web scraping platform soon, currently in private beta. Let me know what you need and we can talk about it, you can find my email in my profile comments.
Like SHOwnsYou said, you will probably make more money from affiliate commissions, so I would completely remove the paid plan and only leave free accounts/signups (with the current premium features included too), it will be much simpler this way and you won't have to deal with the subscriptions hassle.
I live in Romania. This news was "news" back in November, when "the witchcraft law" was automatically passed by the Parliament without even discussing it because the time limit was reached (it was proposed 6 months before).
Everybody here laughed at it and I don't think people take it seriously.
