#2Any chance of getting a demo like Dabble's?
I assume you did this one in Seaside as well? Every time I see a project you've done it makes me want to fire up a Smalltalk image and try it out again.

We prototyped it in Seaside, but the end product is actually Seaside-free. We do use some Smalltalk though.

Yeah, I'll do a screencast at some point, but it's way too much effort to do that until we've finalized the UI - and we want feedback from y'all first :)

#5So here's the thing: I'm not going to give you my Google Analytics until you show me a compelling reason to. "We track Google Analytics" doesn't mean anything to me, an intrigued audience, yet skeptical of and resistant to just installing shit willy-nilly.
Install it on the company blog or something.

Agreed that the front page is light on info/screenshots etc. Did you click the "how it works" link?

You may want to include a link to the "how it works" section from http://trendly.com/preview/.
When I went to the site, I clicked "try it now" before I read to the bottom of the page, and once I got there, I didn't want to sign in. Maybe say something like "Not ready yet? See how it works" or something like that.

This project has nontrivial pieces written in Squeak, Java, Ruby, and Javascript. The site has a dash of PHP.
