Oh well, I guess I won't be hearing about this product launch. This certainly doesn't reflect well on your vendor, http://launchrock.com/ , given that their services seem to consist of 1. landing page creation & hosting and 2. collecting email addresses, and the second (extremely technically simple) task fails completely.

Thanks for all the support HN! We're excited to get the app live on the App Store, just have to deal with some paperwork first.

Also, if you are getting a 405 error on signup, you can just email us at coders@coderscoffee.com to be added to the list.

Guys, I'm a brazilian eager to work for a startup. I'm still in school, but I would not care to make a six month sabbatical, to work on a startup. What skills (tech and non-technical) and connection do you think I must have to work in a early stage startup?

Technical: Good knowledge of a typical web stack or mobile development or both Non-tech: Not much, you have just to show that your are ambitious and somebody who gets things done (or finishs them) With good technical knowledge you do not need connections. Just get familiar with a technology, you like build some nice private projects and apply/go to networking events. Regarding tech: demand for iOS devs is always high…

Thanks so much, Tom. Nice words coming from you. Can I send you an email?

I know mobile is hot right now, but does this really have to be an iPhone app?

I made a mobile web app about six months ago, and this is what I heard over and over again from users: "Can you please please please make it a native app?" Just to get our feet wet, my partner and I proceeded to write two simple iPhone apps. The first did 10x better than our mobile web app (with much less effort), and the second did 100x better. That was enough to convince us, and now we've shelved mobile web develop…

> I made a mobile web app

You missed my point, ironically by perpetuating the obsession around mobile.

I meant why can't it just be a regular desktop webapp. E.g. not require a phone to access.

I don't really see myself sitting in a coffee shop thinking "I want to chat with a business guy right now", and pulling out my phone to see if any are sitting within 10 feet of me.

Granted, the app being mobile (and geo!) is probably 10x more likely to get VC investment right now; I'm just saying that, personally, I would be planning stuff like this more deliberately while sitting at my desktop/laptop than while killing time on the subway.
