what makes you think they will ?

On day 1, they have 11 apps from 5 companies. It will be interesting to see if many developers jump in. My experience is that the intersection between fantasy sports fans and the tech crowd is very thin. I have already build 4 (small) apps

this used to be indicated in the previous version of the Chrome store. But if I remember correctly there was no option for freemium. So most freemium apps were shown as free (mine included)

Is there anyway you can make your product more useful for your users if their friends join too ? Easier said than done, I know... but this is maybe the only way to generate more sharing.

yes, I enforce unique email addresses. You cannot take over an account. i do not allow for email address change.

Very few complains, In fact I wish I had more ;) My product is not spammy, It provides a great service, but I know I need to do a better at educating new users. It tough to do when my emails do not seem to reach them...

Ask HN: Should I force users to validate their email address after signing up?

Have you looked for a co-founder ? Having someone else to work with or rely on is a great source of motivation...

mobile apps are on our roadmap indeed. I'm just not sure if people research fantasy sports on their cell phone that much... Plus Yahoo and ESPN already have decent iPhone apps.
