   I'm the developer of Haiku Deck. Chute is powering a core piece of our functionality, and they've been a joy to work with. Our early beta testers were asking to import their own images from their device and existing online albums like Faceb

   Thanks, glad you like the image search (it was a lot of work!) :) Sorry for the issues on the deck chooser, I've been meaning to re-write that for a while and will bump it up the list. I actually just added in a new first-launch experien

    Thanks, glad you like it. Actually our initial plan was to launch the web version and tablet version at the same time, but we decided to focus 100% on the iPad for the v1 launch, and use feedback (like this) to determine the next platform t
