Show HN: landing pages for iOS apps with interactive, usable demos

it looks nice and not expensive but i did not understand the "demo" part, where are they? also what are the main differeces with other similar services? i rember seeing one some time ago that so a lot similar, something like app.net but i am not sure, but another example is limelightapp.com

good job anyway it looks really nice!

Oh one last thing, will the bar be always stick to the top of my page? that's something i would prefer not to be on my app's page. Users do not know i use your service and i think it might be confusing. I can understand if it might stay there with the free plan but with the paid ones it must go away IMHO. that said, Good Luck. ;)

My portfolio looks different when I'm logged in vs. when I open up the URL in incognito window. That's ok (HN does it too) but you should give me some way of previewing the guest-view. E.g. https://kickfolio.com/chirag?preview or something.

Bug: When I'm logged in, https://kickfolio.com/chirag/tip-of-my-tongue and https://kickfolio.com/chirag/ktype show "We're sorry, but something went wrong."

Also, is there any way for someone to claim their own app? I test added 'Angry Birds' to my portfolio and it worked. What if someone else adds my app?

I enjoy the concept and the snappiness of the app previws. But, to me, the layout's use of subtlepatterns.com seems a bit gratuitous.

Thanks for the feedback! I've just spotted your error in the logs so will work to fix it today.

Preview view is a good idea - will see about how we can implement it.

We're planning on adding a dispute resolution process for apps. One of the use cases we've identified is that a business might want to feature an app as a marketing tool, while the freelancer who made it might want it as a portfolio tool. Automatic verification doesn't seem possible, so we're currently building a manual dispute resolution process.
