This 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 r…

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 Didt…

Don't worry about it, I understand it's a beta, I was just a bit confused when trying to figure out what was going on.

If it helps in tracking down the errors, the app force closed when I first opened it from the market. Good luck with DidThis!

I'm going to give it a go with the purpose of utilizing it like Jerry Seinfeld's productivity secret calendar (chaining). I started off with the daily activities like working out and taking my multi-vitamin :)

As an aside, your iphone app looks great, but the android version leaves me a little disappointed in the UI department.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Scoble himself explains that on the Google+ post

The relevant quote from Scoble: By the way, PR people should take lessons from Denis. He not only drove a few hours to see me in Davos, but he taught me to sled, which was one of the highlights of my trip to the World Economic Forum. Of course no good deed goes unpunished because I beat him down the hill.

"taught me to sled"

Does "sled" mean something unusual here? My experience is that it is similar to falling down a hill, but with something slippery under you-- not really a skill that needs teaching, I thought.

Thanks for the feedback, Ross. One thing to keep in mind is that we kind of launched against our own gut feeling. Which is the way you are supposed to launch! ;-) Lots of loose ends & you can be sure we'll be working on the UX for both Android and iPhone.

Surprised 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.

I updated the title to read mini-seedcamp.

Grrr. Once again, this means nothing to me as a non-iOS/Android user. Not happy to see this trend continuing, are people not building websites any more? * edit for typo.

Actually, we did a website before, called "Quantter". We want to be around when people do things, this means away from the computer. This means mobile. Mobile means AppStores. We could have PhoneGapped it, but we chose not to.

That's fine, it's your service so you can do what you like with it. But as a non-iOS/Android user, you have effectively shut me out (and others like me).

> We want to be around when people do things, this means away from the computer. This means mobile.

Mobile website then?

You haven't been to Switzerland, have you? Or you are from Switzerland and all of this is child's play.
