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…
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!

#22What is it that we need that a FB group can't do? Yes, that seems amateurish, but it does the job.
Re: We built this to help you launch apps for the November Startup Sprint
#23So I enrolled for the November push and signed up for the Facebook group, all be it with a pseudonym, but I seriously fail to see the reason for the few sites that try to track and motivate me. With all due respect, the task sums up as a finger exercise and leaves me wanting more. What is it that we need that a FB group can't do? Yes, that seems amateurish, but it does the job.

#24I may not be an exact fit into group of people launching an app by end of november. But I'm learning Django and Python now and I pledge to build an app (public or private) before this month.

#26I have to say though, this IS a good idea, and is encouraging.

#27I'm pondering the idea of launching for the Sprint (this MIGHT be the first I've heard of it) -- but after I saw the list of 'speakers', I signed up just to receive the emails, if nothing else. I have to say though, this IS a good idea, and is encouraging.

#28Great idea. I look forward to pushing hard for the next month with you guys.

Awesome! I hope you get some good utility out of it. Just to be 100% clear and avoid disappointment, this isn't original / exclusive content written just for us; we're not quite there yet :). However, I've been a voracious HN reader for two years and I missed at least half of these articles, and the other half were good reminders.

Are you going to catalog / rate the apps that get submitted, ala Rails Rumble? That would be exciting, I think.
