Your product isn't clearly defined and the very last two sentences have a hint at what the product might be. What are you actually offering?

Also, a lot of people are fed up with this end-of-the-world thing and might be somewhat turned off that you are using it as a theme for your product description.

17 days is a bit shortlived lol.

But, I feel it can be expanded to encompass anything you wish to do with friends where you can publicly list goals, add photos from each accomplishment etc etc with friends and family.

I don't like when apps use Facebook as a prerequisite, but I would find a way to utilize Facebook's reach without requiring it to participate. Use it as a tool - not as the foundation.

It's a concept, needs some refining - but there's promise.

I don't really see the value in your site - personally wouldn't use it.

But if you guys are stuck on the idea, I'd take out the big block of text that reads: "What if on December 21st 2012 the world really came to an end?"

and replace it with something a bit more to the point about what you guys are doing.

Wow, really unnecessarily harsh people in here. Maybe someone should start a community for people who are interested in start-ups and tech projects so these people aren't burdened by posts like this.. oh wait.

Just because you created a web app, doesn't mean you have a startup.

hey. I just wanted to follow format conventions. "Ask HN: Review my Startup" is a thread I often see here, so I tried it out. Of course I know that a simple web app is no startup at all, that's the reason why I called it "web app" and not "startup" in the topic description.

So you built an app that's only viable 17 days ?

hey. for us it's just an experiment: are people willing to submit a single goal and show it to others? of course after 21st there are other possibilities to catch people's attention (think about New Year's resolutions).

thank you for your feedback! "Use it as a tool - not as the foundation" is something we will strongly think about when building our next app.
