I'd snap it up anyway and use it for links posted to Twitter.
Good call! I just bought it at https://libyanspider.com for $75/year.

#72I definitely would have found this very helpful when I got married. Too bad you didn't release it last year! - It would be awesome if you could print your own table place cards directly from the table arrangement section. Or at least export your guest list to Excel so you can mail merge it. - The vendors page needs some sort of spreadsheet/table like interface so you can compare costs of vendors you are vetting but h…
Can I pick your brain about how the table place cards would look like? Is it like a tent card with people's names on it so that the guests can find out who else is sitting on the same table? The contacts/guests export feature is planned for, since I figure users may need to grab the existing data to give to their vendors, or to do mail merge as you suggested. Thanks for the comment on the Vendor page. I was thinking…

#73I think your app suffers from the same problem my startup app has, which is the empty canvas problem.

hi MqMouse, thanks for the feedback. Do you mind sharing your startup? I'd love to take a look and see how you solves this empty canvas problem.

I ended up with just one screen to let users create a…
Well I planned on posting a rate my startup question this weekend since we're just starting a hackathon tomorrow to squash some bugs, but the way we think we're going is a online interactive walkthrough of the site when a user first logs on to give them an idea of what to do next. We tried to use amberjack but it seemed a little limiting so instead we wrote our own utility using jquery and expose. I would post a link to the library but I'm on my stupid iPad right now so just search for jquery and expose and you'll find the library we use.
