Launched my Twitter competitions tool: http://interactwive.com Got some interest, but still working hard on the marketing side of things. Few people have registered to use it, but am still chasing the elusive first sale! ;)
Like the app concept - think it's too dear for the average PR blogger to get behind and use. But very cool idea!
Thanks! I'm still not convinced that I'm charging enough for Interactwive at present, but will see once I have a few more visitors coming along so I can start testing :)

It might be worth putting an example of a competition on the homepage, preferably somewhere up at the top. I kept scanning around trying to figure out what "Twitter competitions" even meant, but just found the phrase used without ever really being explained. It made sense after I thought about it, but to get there was a little bit frustrating.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

edited to add: check out your spelling on homepage "If our example conest runs for 10 days: $19.99 + $9.90 = $29.89." nitpicky yes - but important! Also, in creating the comp. can you add a field to list the prize? So people know what they're winning?

Ooh, good point, thanks! I don't have much time this evening, but have just briefly reworked the homepage - if you can tell me if that makes a bit more sense, you'll have my eternal gratitude :)
1. Spent a week or two confirming that the concept was possible 2. Left my day job to work full-time on the new project 3. Gathered some basic feedback 4. Got hosting, domain, and email sorted 5. Put up a notify signup page at http://blueprint.io 6. Made 50% progress on my MVP web app
good luck!

Hej Marcin! Ja też jestem w Wawie - I couldn't make the Warsaw Startup Weekend, but if you fancy meeting up for a drink and having a chat about this kind of fun sometime, let me know :)
Submitted site to TechCrunch, Sitepoint and Mashable's Spark of Genius series
Fixed a ton of minor little things and a few major ones - expand/collapse, media uploads, frontend profile editing
Read as much as possible about startups, community management, other entrepreneurs, etc.
Realized how little time there is trying to develop and launch a site after a full work day
