Looks interesting. What sort of market research have you done?

Not much. We did look at other similar products and found out that there is nothing close to our idea. I asked some of my friends for their opinion and I saw that there are more people who need something like this. We're not big fans of researching, planning and such things. We're more into building real things.

That may come back and haunt you. Planning should be an integral part of any process.

I would really need a "How it works" or "Tour" site on here to sign up. I'm a sometimes-designer and I would want to make sure it would be useful to me before forking over my email address.
