Launched an iPhone app for young ones to learn alphabet by popping balloons :) http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/popn-learn-abc/id400222528?mt...
I purchased this game when you posted there and now it's my 2 year old's favorite game!!!
We absolutely love it, good job.
I submitted stk8.co few days ago but it barely got the attention. stk8.co allows you to stack several Links or Text and share them under one shortened url. It embeds a preview of the link for common services like youtube, vimeo, amazon, cnn, scribd, etc... Here are couple of examples: http://stk8.co/gkbbbc http://stk8.co/sample It also has a bookmarklet for easy stacking. The bookmarklet is transparent, one click is…
I'm not disappointed... much. However, I did get some important stuff done, and after the holidays (which involves another big trip), I'll have some time where I'm not going for weeks at a time that I can put together an app.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Congrats! And will you be doing a final wrap up blog post about the process? If so, I am looking forward to it.
Sure. Anything you want me to cover in particular? I'm also in talks with Twilio about producing something with them about it. Preview of coming attractions: everybody should use Twilio. Oh goodness. It is freaking amazing. It is like email: add it to an application, just about any application, and it gets suddenly, radically better. ( And the existence of it makes possible applications that wouldn't be possible othe…
Inspired by patio11 and Bingo Card Creator, I launched Quick Brown Frog: http://www.quickbrownfrog.com http://quickbrownfrog.wordpress.com It's at the MVP stage, and while a technical success (I think it's an awesome in-browser app), no one seems to be interested in paying for it. I reduced the price to $10 prior to launch, and I still haven't had a nibble. I burned through about $200 in Adwords/Bing/Facebook ads so…
Why tutor? At a glance I thought it was a very cheap way for employers to test via the browser an possible hire's typing speed. A certificate is printed by the person at home who brings that to the employer. It should have a URL that could be used to prove they didn't just make up the result.

I'm going to be negative, sorry. I think your biggest difference from Patrick is that you are in a B2C situation where he's definitely in a B2B situation. A teacher or event planner needs to make bingo cards to save time - which is money. If I just want to type better, I have to justify this expense as a consumer. Is this something I will spend $9.95 on? No. I'll probably spend 20 minutes looking for a free typing tu…
I think my app outshines the top Google result for "learn to type online". But as you mentioned, not everyone will be willing to pay for that difference.

Very nice application. I like the graphing of your progress over time. Maybe you could expand it to include DVORAK? I would have paid far more than $9.95/mo for DVORAK lessons when I was learning it. :) One thing, though: http://i.imgur.com/rCTzE.png I type between 130 and 140 WPM. The fastest I could get on your speed test was less than 100 WPM. Maybe some other fast typers can verify that this is a bug? Good work!
What tool have you used previously to measure your rate at 130-140 wpm? QBF counts every 5 characters as a "word"; other apps might measure differently. Did the tool not keep pace with your typing?
Thanks for the feedback!

It would be extra awesome if I could navigate through the lesson via keystrokes.
