I ended up getting a google voice number to solve the issue which then simultaneously rings both me and my wife. However, I love your PIN idea and the "automatically let anyone in during a set time period" approach.

#16Very cool thing. I would include a summary on the use case on the questionsthree website or a short paragraph describing what exactly it is. The only reason I had some idea of what it was, is due to the blog post that directed me there. Just some information (also, pricing) to provide before asking for people to give away their emails. Cool thing, though!
For the longest time, the homepage was Rails' index.html. It was so hard for me to bang out those few paragraphs.

#17You shouldn't be marketing this towards consumers. If you and your friend had this problem with the apartment gate then I'm sure more people at your apartment have to deal with it also. Why don't you talk to your apartment complex and see if they'd be interested to use it as a service for their tenants? You should be marketing this towards apartment complex properties, not consumers living in apartment complexes.

#18Very cool. Still I wonder, why don't these gates accept non-local area codes, seems like a design flaw.

Whoops. I'll definitely add the pricing to the home page. It's 10$/month or 100$/year. For the longest time, the homepage was Rails' index.html. It was so hard for me to bang out those few paragraphs.
