How do you pronounce "jellifi"? Jellify? Jellifee? Jellifih? Was the original idea for it to be http://jellifi.sh , but they changed their minds and went with jellifi.com? This is something they should figure out - if I tell someone "just go to jellifi.com" there's a decent chance they won't know how to spell it. So perhaps look into making the name more obviously spellable (jellify.com), extend to jellyfish.com, gra…

#22Interesting idea! Thanks for sharing. Just a quick note, the pricing page ( http://jellifi.com/Pricing ) needs to be fixed, it still has the standard 'Lorem ipsum...' filler text.

#23Cool idea. What sort of things is she doing to get it out there and try to start getting people using it, get it known and stuff?
Re: Show HN: My girlfriend's startup
#24Good layout...I like the big call to action with the rest of the page being devoted to a semi-walkthrough of what you'll find. However, the "call to action" button text should be fixed. Currently, it reads: " Plan Event Free ". It looks like a typo was made, though I understand you wanted to keep the text short...but right now, it looks like an amateurish grammar mistake. Perhaps, these might work: "Free: Plan an Eve…

#25That's a serious question. I scrolled all the way to the bottom, clicked on About Jellfi, read a bit about the founders, and then finally noticed that:
"Jellifi matches both professional and casual event planners to the best and most unique local talent for flawless and fun events without the stress."
That (preferably with fewer adjectives) needs to be the first thing I (and anyone else) see, IMO. Without it the service seems all style no substance.
(Granted this may not be as much of a problem with promoters and artists than it is with a 38 year old programmer that lives in insurance.)

#26This is a terrible title. It tells me nothing about the product. I expect a title like this in /r/pics but not in HN.
Re: Show HN: My girlfriend's startup
#27Yes, a 25 year old female founder. 3 engineers, 1 ex-radio industry veteran, and ~5 other team players. She got started last year, went through a rough patch with a different designer+developer team, had to rethink everything, and then in Jan of 2013 -- landed an amazing marketing opportunity for the site which will air later this year. Very proud of their accomplishments, especially in a city like Austin where consu…
One of the landing page screenshots says "Jellifi Can Help You Throw A Better Weddings Event!" Is that a typo? Is "a weddings event" a thing?
Re: Show HN: My girlfriend's startup
#28Also, that speed register thing that's supposed to work with Facebook, I cant figure out how to do it. It is not implemented yet?
Otherwise great work. Tell your girlfriend congrats.

#29What the heck is it supposed to do? That's a serious question. I scrolled all the way to the bottom, clicked on About Jellfi, read a bit about the founders, and then finally noticed that: "Jellifi matches both professional and casual event planners to the best and most unique local talent for flawless and fun events without the stress."

That said, I do think it's an interesting concept and suggested it to a friend who does event photo booths and he seemed very interested in signing up.
