I like that, I wish there was a system that allowed us to share resources wisely. The thing is, the burden to put your unused resources into a web database is too high. This should be a system that would work automatically, that connects you with the people that have a surplus of something you need.

why not? make it special

no way, that's brilliant.

I very much believe you that there are many challenges. In case we both meet on Nov 3rd, let's have a chat, I'm really curious on how you do that.

I could definitely see many uses for this, develop this thing further.

Any chance to get private beta invite?

That's strange, I sent an email to web@streamfocus.com - can you send me an invite to my email? It's in my profile. Would appreciate that very much.

That's a truly pretty app, I love the design.

Nice feature you have is keyboard navigation, I think that's a must have for web apps.

now that's interesting. I had a similar idea, not one I submitted, but an idea for an app. Basically it would be for lobbyists, or groups working for a common goal, that try to talk to politicians and convince them about issues. So you'd have all these politicians in your tracking system, see who you already talked to and who not, and where these people stand on the issue. That way you can more effectively deal with their concerns.

Is that kind of what fantasy congress is?

Checked out your homepage, you have a good project description.

I had the same problem you had: being overwhelmed with tasks in my task management software. I solved it quite simply by marking certain tasks as "in progress". That allows me to see what I should be focusing on - and if I'm not, I re-evaluate where I am at, and set different tasks to "in progress" that make more sense.

For sure not as thought out as your solution - yet it has been working fine for me. Yours is for a team though, much more complex/interesting problem. Nice work & thoughts.

Can you explain further? DNA comes to mind, are you talking about that? Or unit tests that go through an evolution process?

That's awesome - I'd love to, just sent you an email.

That's really nice - a musician. Anyway sign me up if you have some kind of launch newsletter, I'd love to know more. Let me know if you need any advice or opinion, or want to exchange ideas.

I'm kind of wondering what all the obsession is about? Not that that's not ok, but, although I'm sure it is very nice to get into YC, does your business idea really depend on it?

I'm rather torn - don't really need YC for the core biz but for sure would love to experience those famed crazy three months.

All the best Edward, who knows maybe we'll meet on Nov 3rd.

Thanks for the post. So you're already in the market and launched?

Well, I like the domain name. :)

I got that error quite often too, "link expired".

Save regularly, then it works out alright.

If you feel like rewriting in Rails, make sure you consider the deployment factor.

In my experience, the only way to have a Rails app that is responsive and reliable without spending most of your time on deployment as opposed to on development, is having someone like EngineYard host it. But that costs 100s of dollars per month, which might be ok in your case, I don't know.

Maybe you want to go with Symphony instead.

I'm not so much against big rewrites, you just have to figure it out yourself if you think it makes sense.

Thank you, that's nice. All the best back to you, maybe we'll see each other at the interviews.

Can't recommend them.

Been with them for a month, major outage earlier this month for two days.

They seem good for blogs, or staging, but if you require reliability, go somewhere else.
