#12This is very cool and a problem worth solving. Rypple is first the startup I heard of that focused on making employees feel good rather than simply tracking them but it only handed out compliments. This seems like the next logical step - to give perks that are tailored towards each person.

#13Great job! Looking back, you'll see that learning to code was one of the best decisions you made. One minor thing - it took me about 7-10 seconds to understand what your product is. I should be able to understand within 2 seconds. You should put in big letters towards the top: "Employee Recognition Program" or something a little more sales-y.
That's good feedback. Definitely continuing to improve the message.

#14Love this service/idea, because i think (at least here in sweden) employee benefits lacks precisely this, cheap but qualitative benefits (which are not only discounts), like a great cup of coffee or a month of Spotify. Great job!

#15Similar to BetterWorks? http://www.crunchbase.com/company/betterworks I remember Paige Craig was working on something similar. There was a business there but then when they scaled up sales it didn't seem like the model worked (not enough demand). Maybe there's something different here or will be executed on better? Either way, it looks nice and it's awesome you learned to code to start your startup! I'm only in the b…
Thanks for the support. We're trying to solve a similar problem as BetterWorks was, but with a completely different approach. If you're unfamiliar with BetterWorks, you can read more about them here: http://www.crunchbase.com/company/betterworks
Interesting. Along the vein of similarity to other services, your approach looks kind of similar to AnyPerk. From what I can sort of gather, you are going the approach of providing on demand perks, for individual recognition, and not an ongoing perk? Is that an accurate assessment?

#16That's an awesome domain name! Did you acquire it for this project, or did you already have it?

#17Kudos. Since this is a work related site it might be a good idea to use Linken Oauth.

#18I really like the idea for this company. Seems cools.
In the true spirit of "Show HN" though, how about sharing some code?
Re: Show HN: I learned to code to launch my new startup
#19Awesome. I did however expect a blog post covering how you learned to code, etc etc. Good luck.

By the way, great URL. I'm sure you paid a pretty penny for it:)
