So - I helped build this with mikro. We have been bootstrapping our startup Fleck (www.getfleck.com) and wanted to take a shot at making something that had a price tag associated. We built DockPlayer in a few days, and with one email, we ma

I think this is the way that most people come across their usage and start using them themselves. It's almost a "under the breath" type of comment. As in "Eating dinner #ImFat" or "About to watch Halloween movi

Interesting - I will suggest that as well!

It might be worth noting that this particular 9 year old is really good at math, but struggles a bit with reading. Thanks for all the suggestions so far!

My cofounder mikro and I have bootstrapped Splash since last August, and we just released in the App Store last week. We are excited to share with you our work, and would be grateful for your feedback to our idea, approach and implementatio

We received our second YC rejection for Splash ( http://splash.io ). Back to work indeed!

For us (Splash.io), it was a matter of not having the ability to purchase splash.com, and that our URL is not really that important (we are a mobile app, App store ranking and searchability is a way bigger issue). Plus, .io seemed reasonabl

So there is definitely no unified inbox? That to me is a deal breaker. I couldn't tell from playing around with it if I was somehow missing a unified stream somewhere.

Well, added Splash to the list. It was funny to see at least one other company very similar, and that is launched! At least we know we are headed in a good direction. :)

Thanks for the heads up. Like everyone here, we our excited to hear your decisions! Looks like we need to be a bit more patient with this one.

I think I would disagree. I think there are plenty of really bad ideas that people are pursuing in one way or another. I think there is at least some value to the idea to start with. It is, after all, the building block upon which a startup

I wonder - do you think the great experiment for 'no idea' applications is going to be abandoned after the upcoming class? There is such a consensus of thought in the startup world that "ideas are useless, it's all about execution." But, I

This is great work! I could see a form of this being pushed out by Apple, maybe if it were a bit more streamlined and simplified? Not sure how to do that, since you have done a very good job already of making it intuitive IMO.

I'm not entirely sure what your distinction is between hardware and 'product.' I would argue that 'product' as you argued for should be a meeting of hardware, software and UI/UX. Any one (or two) of these items on it's own pales in comparis

Hopefully other airlines will follow suit. Airlines find any reason they can to upsell passengers, so it is refreshing to see one that will be rolling out a service for free. This fact alone makes we want to support their business.

To elaborate... What informs my thought process as to what I believe will happen when using the interface? Do I think it will behave a certain way because it seems to make the most sense, or because I remember the iOS implementation? Since

As an avid iOS user, every time I try and pick up an Android I experience the same types of issues. I wonder whether it actually is a lack of intuition, or that I am so locked into the iOS way that it ends up feeling foreign right from the
