Interesting that you seem to have gained traction even though your competition has been around for 10 years or more. Good luck!

Thank you! The older the company (typically) the harder and slower it is to innovate, we think they've completely missed to opportunities smartphone present.

It's obviously great from a business perspective, you found a niche and you're serving a community's needs. Kudos for being a smart startup. It's also funny if Ryan isn't actually Muslim... lol. But I mean elephant in the room, I don't like religious institutions or traditional societal norms based in religion, any religion. Goes without saying but it's all on the way out anyways, since we now know magical people who…

Religious flamewar, which this counts as, is always off topic and particularly not allowed on Hacker News. Nothing good can, or ever does, come of it. So would you please not post like this again?

I respect your work as a moderator dang, but when it has a healthy amount of upvotes and is just bluntly stating that religion is not going to be around in the future, I find that pretty sad that it's being censored. I did not speak in a respectful manner towards religion, granted, which I don't feel great about, but at the same time I don't really believe religious institutions deserve our respect because of the opportunity costs I listed. Is this view really 'starting a flamewar'? Would someone like Richard Dawkins or really even any of the primary authors of the French Enlightenment be allowed to participate on HN?
