Yes. I haven't pushed anything public yet, which is why Inventory.io doesn't show anything.

I really took Paul's email to heart, because it was great advice. I'm looking for other places to get Inventory.io installed.

don't worry ;)

I just set up the blog a few days ago and felt like I needed to add a link to it, but I just haven't pushed anything to it yet.

It would be much better if there was at least a simple landing page there. A completely broken link seems like bad form.

You are correct. I was going to put up a simple landing page, but I haven't even set up the DNS (its updating now). Free marketing lost.

To be clear, we don't subject ALL our airbnb guests to 4loko. Jud was a special case.

If it doesn't take off like they suggested, what's your plan? I'm curious how someone in your position would (and should?) handle this. Did they give any specific advice to you re: your future? Dump the project and work on something else?
