I've never heard the sinister meaning! Truth be told, we originally had the buttons reversed, but our customer development group consistently said it should be on the left. I have two theories for why: My far out theory: Microsoft's dialog

Yeah, I think that's the coolest thing about starting a tech business: you get the opportunity to support other people through both software and jobs. Peldi gets to go home at night and know that people are eating well because of a little i

Thank you for the kind words about Quipol and the great story. I think we're seeing a trend here: if you give, people don't forget (and they pay it forward). Thank you, August!

Hey all: I'm shocked by (and so appreciative of) the responses to this. Thanks for directing the much-deserved love toward Peldi, too! He's seriously my entrepreneurial hero.

Yeah, the Do-Gooder notion was the thing that gave the the guts to even consider asking for something free. I think every company should have a Do-Gooder policy!

Oh man, that's hard to hear. I'm sorry that it comes off that way. While building Quipol, I was more of an onlooker. Maybe I should have been more active earlier.

@tptacek nailed it on the head. It wasn't a rational thing. It was emotional. All I'm trying to say is that Peldi's generosity affected me in a huge way. It was a tonic—a positive starting point that I've cherished ever since.

Well said. The whole team has been pure class every time I've digitally interacted with them. That's not an easy feat considering that everyone has bad days.

Got it! Yeah, that's supposed to happen. I guess we'll see how intuitive it is for people and then think about auto-populating the percentages.

Thanks, Timmee. Cues are a good idea! It does take a bit of guesswork to figure out which piece has content.

Did percentages not show up in your pie chart? They should have. I hope that isn't broken, but I appreciate you pointing it out! We did some colorblind testing and had good (not great) feedback. Time will tell. I think color refinement is f

Thank you for the kind words! I quietly rolled the application out yesterday. I'm bootstrapping the whole thing with my own cash, so I'm just getting it out there and hoping to get early feedback so I can make refinements.
