#63Looks pretty, but all this talk about relationships with inanimate objects in the video made me feel like it aimed at owners of real dolls. I have relationships with people (and maybe animals and myself), objects just enable me to have these relationships. Maybe an object oriented website just isn't my thing.

#64Whoa you've gotten to the point of having a Real Team http://taketake.com/about ... how can you give it away?... burnout? As others have said here, take a week off. Also, startups can change direction at all times, maybe your initial idea isn't driving you enough. Evolve the idea to get excited about this once again... well I'm just ranting it out, you sure have your reasons. But looking at /about this don't seem like a weekend project to be flipped later at SitePoint or sth. You've built something already! Why not let it live and thrive to see the world.

We also want to see taketake thrive and we are doing everything we can to see that happen. My co-founder and I simply can't be leading it anymore. We're burned out and skid off our cash runway. We did take a week(s) off. This is not an easy decision.
By getting another team to take over, it's almost as if we were getting one/two other co-founders to come on board. My co-founder and I will take an advisory role and that's why it's fair that the new team gets a majority stake in the company. We would retain 10-15% of common stock each.

#66After watching the video I WANT TO USE THIS PRODUCT please someone take it and develop it.
I had that exact same thought! Looked really awesome and a great potential for consumer and creator!

#68Out of curiosity, why do you use both Redis and MongoDB?
We use Redis and MongoDB for two different purposes. Redis is used for our messaging queue (resque), sessions and caching. MongoDB is used to store our user data. Redis could be used to store our user data as well but we feel that MongoDB is a lot easier to work with because of its query language. MongoDB fits better to store our user data and Redis fits better for our messaging queue, sessions and caching. We have y…
whats the reason for the migration from MySql to mongo ?

#69If it's money you need (would you stay on if someone offered you an angel round?), consider asking for funding, kickstarter style. We're all very impressed, and we think you should stick with it.

And if you're determined to get rid of it, you should not give it away- you should sell a chunk of it off for a substantial amount of money just so the incoming party has the same interest in making it work. In otherwords, who ever you give it to will not have poured sweat over it, and will likely not give it the love it rightly deserves.
