We will be launching http://goodsie.com in November, though it's been in development for over a year now because of various fits and starts! HN will work as a code for anyone who would like to try the beta :)

User interface is AMAZING. Color schemes and the default look... not so much. :)

Give the copy of your landing page a plot! There finally might be a better landing page slogan than "The easiest way to ___".

It was a dark and stormy landing page. Rain rolled off the roofs, gathered in the gutters and flowed over my shoes to the drain. I needed lots of things, a drink, a broad, and a gun, but first of all, I needed a mobile app to get me a place to dry off and a really first rate coffee while checking in and getting location points. Here is that app.

Shoot, I'd buy it just from that prose... and I don't have a smartphone.

I know! I was worried about that, but hey, different inspirations for different folks, right? (I think thats how that goes...)

Perhaps you should call it NaNoAppMo?

NaAppWriMo would work, but I can't say that.

But...it's NaNoWriMo that month! How are we supposed to write a novel and launch an app? ;-)

-29 days to write an app that can write novels in less than a day. -1 day to write the novel. -done.

Or 27 days to write any app, 3 days to write the novel: www.3daynovel.com

Go, go, go!

Your timing is impeccable. I've just recently started a project, and I think a nice, public goal (and deadline) will help keep me motivated. I've only written one half-workable program before (a python script to check if a number was prime or not), so this will be a learning experience more than anything else. I've started work on a program that will let a business generate and track coupon codes for their promotions…

I am almost in the same case. After months of procrastination disguised as reading about programming, I just launched my first completed project ever: my own blog written in Ruby on Rails. Just today ! http://hackiel.com/blog Seems like a great opportunity to level up.

I just posted on Twitter about a programming version of NaNoWriMo. This is exactly what I was thinking.

Lets see how I go juggling this, finding a job, getting a visa, having family visit from overseas and going through a wedding ceremony all in one month. Sounds like fun.
