Hi I'm so sorry. We are fixing it right now. Our DB was down.

#13Nice looking website, but may I ask: are these tweets legit? There's no username or permalink, and a quick search didn't return anything… I'm always concerned by products endorsed through fake testimonials. I'm all for asking friends to help out, but disguising it as legitimate user feedback seems a bit disingenuous.

They are friends of mine, but their feedback is legit :) Maybe we should be more explicit about it?

#15Promo video looks very promising. As others have noted getting blank pages more often than not.

Yes, I think you should at least display them as what they are: testimonials from friends, not tweets from happy users.
Whenever I see a collection of (legitimate) user tweets, it gives me reassurance that a) the product is liked b) the product has been around for a while c) the product is popular. A company will always praise its own product. But if users start to do it publically on Twitter, it's an honest recommendation that is worth a lot in my eyes. It's like a grassroots movement. But if you fake it, it feels like astroturfing.

#18Consider a simpler page as index, 15Mb javascript only is a tad too much, both for you and your visitors

#19Similarly to many here, I can't get the website to work, but I'll still ask a question:
How is this different than Quizlet and Anki? (Obviously with Anki sharing isn't as straightforward but is possible (there's even a website hosting Anki flashcard sets))

We are live again finally. Sorry for the hiccup.
In Barbra the main difference is that you can take notes and have your flashcards in one place. I noticed I often had to transfer my class notes from Evernote and copy them into Anki. That was a huge hassle.
Another point is that in Barbra sharing flashcards and notes is the default. You invite people, set goals together, and then collaborate on everything. I noticed we always sent photos of notes on Whatsapp to others before tests, and that was a hassle as well. So we built thinking of these 2 things.
