The "word-break: break-all;" CSS for every element makes reading your text very unattractive. With break-all CSS: http://imgur.com/UmLnCg2 Without break-all CSS: http://imgur.com/Inp58BN

The problem has been fixed! Thanks for letting me know.

I tried to "Apply for Early Access" for this yesterday and all I seem to get is a "We dropped the ball. Try again?" message. Looks like it's resulting from a javascript error, which I'm guessing has to do with Modernizr not loading? Looks like the URl is invalid (http://meeet.co/js/modernizr-1.6.min.js)

Hey!

Thanks for letting us know. I'm fairly certain that the JS is okay, as this is the first time the issue has been brought up, but we will throw that error in the event that someone has already signed up for Meeet's mailing list. Could have you put in your email prior to that?

What would be great (and I've been meaning to do for a while) is exactly this, but to put in touch tech founders with business founders. Basically, technical founders would showcase products they've built and people with the skills to market and grow them would get in touch with them. I can't be the only tech guy with lots of MVPs finished but who doesn't have the time or skill to market them.

Ah, you know I am seeing a request being made that returns the response that I'm already subscribed. But that message never makes it to the UI -- I only see "We dropped the ball. Try again?". There's a JavaScript error generated every time I click the buttno. It looks like coming from the smoothscroll-ck.js script: "Cannot read property 'replace' of undefined" in t.smoothScroll.filterPath. Not sure if that's what's preventing the real error message from showing? This is Chrome 34, btw.

Yo! That's awesome you figured it out.

Yeah - I'm fairly certain that's exactly what the issue is. The reason you're not seeing the real error is that we get the errors via not-so-readable JSON from the Mailchimp servers, and the JS email library we are using displays that error message for ANY error returned by the server to keep things simple and prevent confusion, though it seems to have caused a bit of confusion here.

There's a chance we may change that in the near future. Again, if you want a sticker, feel free to drop us a line on Twitter, we'll follow you, and you can DM us your address. We have plenty! :D

Neat idea! That's not a bad concept, and Meeet can easily be adapted for such a service.

Sadly, that is not the exact kind of product we're hoping to launch with, so that really leaves us with a few options:

1) After you join Meeet (if you choose to), create a feature request and have others vote on it! 2) Use Meeet to make a service like that with another developer/designer

Whatever you choose, it's a cool idea, and would be neat to have existing. :D
