As someone who has developed many apps using Appcelerator Titanium, I am looking forward to getting my hands on this to see where the differences lie.

I know that it has taken Titanium years to mature, so I wonder if it will take a similar amount for React to iron out the bugs - I'll be surprised / pleased if they hit the ground running.

Hopefully they'll hurry up and make it public!

It looks like a modern day dreamweaver, or front page, no doubt a hell of a lot better! Will definitely need to give this a try.

Taking over this thread talking about your service is pretty awful - surely you can announce your features in your own right rather than riding on the back of Stripe's name?

Great post!

I've started a number of businesses over the past 10 years, first of which was when i was 17, i've learned so much over this time, but had dismissed it as general knowledge.

Recently I took part in an accelerator here in the UK and one of the things I enjoyed most was offering advise to other teams, even just on simple things like Tax/Vat etc. I really didn't appreciate that much of the knowledge I've amassed over the past 10 years was valuable to people in the early stage of a new business.

I'm hoping to be invited back to that accelerator as a mentor this year, and I'd hope I can do this for other accelerators too as it's extremely rewarding, I'd almost say I find it more rewarding helping others than building my own startup!

Great post - i've been playing with your product and the integration of telephony is really smart, it's one of the areas salespeople spend a lot of time manually typing in calls into their CRM.

Thanks for the feedback I can see your point I'll get to work on getting something a little more visual to explain it.

And yes, it's very lightweight we already use it for bug tracking, beta signups, feedback and general contact. Other early beta customers are using it to manage job applications and competition entries.

Well i don't think it's the product, it was the content, and in our case, all content is going to be about the product, so i think it's a non-issue in our case, these other url shortening sites are linking to content that could be deemed inappropriate in most countries...

Just noticed your addition regarding `vb.ly` and had a quick route around, it seems that they seized it due to it containing content that fell outside of Libyan Islamic/Sharia Law.

I don't think we'll have any issues with this as we're not linking off to any content we don't know about.

At the moment the vision is to avoid them going into Gmail, or other email clients/services at all, other than sending an email notifying you of a new inquiry...

We believe that managing them in Gmail is ok, but we've found it to be less than reliable, it's easy to un-star an important email and forget it never existed, or indeed miss an inquiry due to spam filters etc...

However i'd be interested in hearing why Gmail integration would be good for you?

For us it was really just a case of getting an interesting domain with a keyword around what we do, we're all about managing inquiries, and all the nice .com's are taken, it seems to work, and TLD's are becoming less related to countries as the fight for the nice .com's heats up...
