#22Great job on launching. Some notes from first use of the app: The feed is confusing. It looks too much like Instagram, so it contradicts the idea that this is an app for sharing actions rather than just pictures. The top activities are plankaday (what's that?), write, sleep, run, and meeting(!). None of those are too interesting. So, I'm not getting a feel for what is this app really good for? Why don't you show more…
lol, I won't steal your contacts, promise! I'm painfully aware of the points you raise. Sometimes you just have to do a "Damn the torpedoes, full-speed ahead" launch. Timing & stuff. To answer the other points you raise: The feed will change totally. Less pictures, more "What did you do?" & "How did you do it?" ... in development, coming in one of the next updates. The actions will become a lot more specific & self-e…

Bravo bravo. That's just the right attitude.

#23I tried to register in the Android app, but it doesn't work. I get an endless spinning progress bar after I press "register".
Hello pirko,
you can find my email address in the app (menu/about in first screen) to get in touch with me. With your help, I can try to fix the bug and release.

For one thing, you can't 'rate'

I'm pretty sure it's server-side & I set our greybeard on it ;-)

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
Interesting observation. I'm looking at the stats right now & Scoble vs. HN is indeed an interesting battle to observe. It's bit, ummm, one-sided ... I'll do a post-launch blog post on this tomorrow.
I will provide my personal opinion, although hopefully I don't offend :-) Scoble is the poster child of "Social media", half-bit hacks who think they're "social media entrepreneurs" subscribe to his views (what he likes and dislikes) and follow/like his profiles on various sites (Facebook, Twitter, Google+) but the majority don't actually care about what he has to say, they just do it to validate their own position.…
I think in this neck of the woods it's hard to offend anyone. On the other side of the river though, where the socialites put up camp, things are different. They thrive on "taking offense" & spreading vapid rumors.

#27Surprised about the title. What was the thinking about applying to YC after already taking SeedCamp?
As the OP has indicated in the title, DidThis took part in an individual (mini) Seedcamp event, but wasn't selected for investment by Seedcamp.

#28This will probably sound frustrating, but I cannot make heads or tails about what your app actually is. I get the general idea from the website "say you did something, check in with others" but the Android app stops me in my tracks.
Going from this screenshot[0], which is the first screen:
- What am I following if I tick 'follow'?
- How do I 'do' the kiss task? I haven't done it yet, so why is it labelled re-do? If re-do is your analogy to re-tweet, I would consider changing it to 'do' - re-do implies more than once.
- Re-doing a task requires an account if you want to share, then brushes me off with a toast, rather than taking me to a signup screen (which I would expect on first load).
I hope you can see why I'm a bit frustrated, it does look as if the Android app is a bit of an afterthought compared to screenshots of the iPhone app.

Thank you for your feedback.
The app is not supposed to display screenshot[0] as you share it. So obviously there is a bug here, sorry.
- "follow": place to follow others users. People who are going to inspire you. - "re-do" is correct. It's about redoing what other people have already done. - "register to share": yes RossM, you are perfectly right. It's a beta version and we are going to improve the UI.
BTW, so Didthis is about seeing how your actions are spread (redone by others) and being inspired by others' actions. In a way, yes, it's about check-in into actions
