> "sometimes, a coffee can mean the world."

It's true--I can definitely still remember small but sincere acts of kindness that I've received from friends or acquaintances over the years. Seriously, the $8 it costs to buy some overpriced coffee and the value of a half hour of your time are repaid many times over by the gratitude the other person feels and the good you'll have done for their life.

I thought this was going to be a modern fuckedcompany replacement. Have to admit, I was little disappointed.

Are there any sites around now like a modern fuckedcompany? The current startup world is definitely missing one of those. I guess we can look forward to that new HBO comedy, Silicon Valley from Mike Judge.

op, you're using Gmail to send emails to new users. Bad idea. Google will catch on soon and ban you. I'd switch to another provider asap.

Not OP, but curious. Please elaborate? Does Google not like if it is used as a SMTP service, by startups?

Also, any suggestions for mail providers?

What they don't like are spammers and this is going to trip their spam blocking mechanisms pretty quickly.

Best way I've found is to use your own mailserver or alternatively to use something like Sendgrid.
