    Is this not just a symptom of oil prices dropping? Solar has to remain competitively priced or the industry is screwed

    I think the "Developer" tier has the most promise as a selling point. For apps you just want to get out there, I think some developers would be willing to pay 4.99 to quickly slap …

    Thanks! I think you're right, I'm going to get rid of the QR code reference in the landing page headline. Maybe just 'Hand-drawn, scannable web links'. I will then have an FAQ box …

    I used Google+ so that you wouldn't need to create a user id / password. Each tag that you create is "owned" by you, and you probably wouldn't want other people to edit it (though …

    Very true. And I steered away from squares due to the "swastika effect". Also because the information is slightly more dense with a system based on triangles - 6 bits at a given ve…
