Hi Dennis, glad to find a customer here on HN!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The "Stop" button, used when testing, needs to be more... conservative. Until I click "Set Alarm" I have no idea what those icons at the bottom do. Title them so that I can also click them. It will save users a bunch of time. I know I shouldn't, but if I type www.sleep.fm/[special_char] I get a 503 page. Make that fancy or forward it with htaccess. I really like the voice, as well as, it telling me my flight, weather…

Hi thanks so much for the feedback. Re: icons at bottom yeah they are just static - they add color to our dark design. Though I have heard this comment before, so I'll c how it looks without & a bigger clock window. Re: [special_char] ... when it goes live will get our alarm links working as they do on live site ( http://Sleep.fm/7am , http://sleep.fm/8am , etc). Maybe that' what u meant? Not sure what you meant by "…

CareCloud http://www.carecloud.com

It sounds a bit risky to put your medical records in the cloud.

The idea is that with your medical records in the cloud, an ER doctor in europe treating the ankle you broke skiing in the Alps would know right off the bat whether you were allergic to any particular meds. It would prevent the need for redundant tests if they had your access to your health data, thus saving money in an industry fraught with wasteful spending. I personally think this is a great idea, and to encapsulate the service in such an elegant and refined user experience is the stuff of startup success.

Loggly - http://loggly.com/ is a cloud-based log management service funded by True and Trinity. Logs are normally a real PITA, especially on something like EC2, but we make dealing with them fun and easy. Basically you point your logs at our servers where we catch them and store them safely away. We apply a fulltext index to the logs to make them searchable. Results can be processed with custom scripts you write and…

Just a quick point: Your beta signup form (http://www.loggly.com/signup/) requires far too much thinking in order to complete.

After almost a minute of figuring out how I can fit what I want to say into your pre-structured dialog, I gave up.
