Earlier quoted context omitted.

do you have examples?

well, even in this thread all people have smooth made websites, and they didn't even apply for YC yet. Also all those companies from YC14 batch( http://yclist.com/ ) - they all have websites well done even for the mobile apps. I wonder why\how. Not a single team has an ugly home page

There are a bunch of beautiful landing page/single page Wordpress templates specifically gear toward this stuff. http://themeforest.net has a bunch among many other places

Autosend - http://autosend.io Behavior-driven lifecycle messaging for SaaS companies. Basically, automatically send personalized SMS, email, or push notifications to users based on what they do in your app. I'm not sure yet if we've been invited or not but either way we're still full steam ahead!

well, that's the first application (finally!) i see that it doesn't have a home page all fancy yet. Nothing's wrong with it of course. Just shocked when all other founders have time and skills to make their WP pages look so nice

CSS frameworks like Zurb Foundation's and Twitter Bootstrap are pretty popular now and make it tougher to make your site look ugly. I bet that has some influence.

how do I integrate your service into my app? do I have to use API calls & is there an admin panel that's exposed?

A few different ways: we have no-code integration, as well as a copy & paste JavaScript snippet, and a full fledged API.

There is an exposed admin panel. We are currently rebuilding the service to make it even more easier to use and robust than our previous iteration. We are just a few weeks out from reopening the doors but we'll be letting a bunch of folks use it while we build it.

Our first iteration, while somewhat successful, left a lot on the table as far as the potential for the product. So we went back to the drawing board to make it even better.

We'll get fancy soon, but currently our focus is making the admin panel fancy and the product solid. :) For now... you're looking at developer art.

MemGrid - https://www.memgrid.com/ CDN for web developers --- process and host static assets the easiest and fastest way possible. Just keep the files in your Dropbox folder and we automatically receive, version and invoke any file generators in the pipeline. Builds CoffeeScript, LESS, SASS, compressed JavaScript, CSS, image manipulations etc. There's also handlebars templating for full-blown static website generatio…

Nice idea, I could see myself using the compressed javascript / css feature. Wouldn't this be better done by focusing on git commits rather than dropbox, though?

Edit: I'd rather it just minified and gzipped the files, and uploaded them to my existing storage (e.g S3) rather than setup a new CDN.
