Well it's quite different in that it functions more similarly to a traditional messaging app than SnapChat. In other words -- messages are stored indefinitely so you can view them …

Hi all, Brief intro to the app. This is something I've made with fellow HNer Alex Edge (@edgeman27). The idea is to make a more personal messaging app, that combines the convenienc…

I've been invited to Startup School. However, given I'm in the UK, it will likely cost a total of about £1000 to attend (if frugal). That is to say, flights; AirBnb; travel when th…

I have an app written in ASP.NET MVC with an API. Would like to either convert it into, say, RoR (or Python/Django/whatever if you prefer). Or, write a separate web app that uses t…

Didn't realise that. Looking for ways to ensure that doesn't happen. Do you have any ideas?

I know the fabric does appear a little thin in the photos, but honestly, they're really high quality tees. We consulted with our printer and they assured us they are the best avail…

Thanks, very kind. We're going to try and utilise the fact you can 'create' a tshirt with just a link, i.e. http://helvetitee.com/tee/foo-bar . It's so quick to react to trends and…

Haha, we will react to demand on that front. Thanks re: design. Nice to hear.

Thanks. You're right. We've changed the price down to $25 based on so much feedback suggesting it.

Changed the helper text, hopefully this fixes.

That's very cool. I wonder if .io domains are too geek-centric, though? It's very memorable.

Definitely on the roadmap

That's a great idea, and something close to what we're thinking a few versions down the line. The free shirt after 5 purchases is very clever, and probably a better model than stan…

We are using Helvetica Neue with Helvetica as a fall-back, and a Helvetica clone (Nimbus sans) after those two in the font stack. You'd have to have some funny configuration not to…

We'll intro geo-based pricing asap :)

Yeah. It's a tough one. We might change the name if we can find the right domain.

Yeah I like v-necks too. It's definitely something we'll consider, but it has to balance with not having too many options (simplicity being the by-word for this project).

We wanted to ensure we could post anywhere in the world and not lose money or have to charge extra. I think at this price orders will be slow though, so we've slashed it to $25 to …

Thanks for all the feedback so far. We've changed the price to $25 (formerly £25) as almost everyone said the price was too (damn) high. Margins will be cut significantly, but it w…

Fair point. We'll come up with a better price as everyone seems to agree it's too high.

All the feedback so far indicates our pricing is too high. That'll definitely be the first thing we'll fix.
