Exactly the motivation I needed to get up off my butt and start coding furiously, instead of planning and guessing for months on end. Thanks!

This is exactly what we're hoping for; you just made my day :)

Let me know if you have any issues or if there's any way we can help you in your quest.

I liked seeing the "Not interested in building with us? Tell us why" but then saw it was an email link rather than a feedback form.

FWIW having to use email for feedback is a disincentive for me (I guess partly because I have to copy & paste the address into a different browser that I use for email).

You might want to consider using a feedback form instead.

Oh, and as much as it seems obvious in hindsight, it didn't occur to me to "click on the image" to see the sample--I just assumed the image was all there was to see so I was left wondering "how does it work?" even after reading the FAQ.

"You'll start receiving your daily lessons tomorrow?"

That's a bit condescending to my ears? Might want to work on that tone. You don't want to imply that you're giving something to people that they should be grateful for.

I guess you'd better work on the actual application as well.

What technology and framework are you using?

Hey, I'm one of the programmers working on this project. We actually have a feedback form ready to go, we just ran out of testing time before the launch today. We'll be pushing that change in the next couple of days.

Thanks for the feedback!

There's also a bunch of us that are building November Apps that are using Alex Muir's kickuptheass.com. It's also for daily reminders and group status sharing. Hard to say yet if this is a complementary service or in competition. In the mean time, I plan to use both :-)

I really love that HN is working on a NaNoWriMo for software this month. I had been planning on doing this all last month in conjunction with my room mate and calling it NaSoWriMo while he worked on his novel.

Personally, I am starting out on two small projects that are being built quickly and will hopefully have reasonable traffic by the end of the month as the goal. This is in preparation for larger projects down the road.
