I may look into other backends, but Twilio was by far the easiest to get going. Currently checking out Tropo and Teleku.
Assumption is that an event like this might be less scary compared to AirBnB style of renting your flat away.
If someone is in Berlin and interested to host, would love to hear from you!
Others that are also trying in that field: - Housefed - GrubWithUs: http://www.grubwithus.com
Housefed tries to build up a community first before getting into hosting meals (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2379797). We go the opposite road and try to validate our assumptions as fast as possible. I believe we can (in)validate many assumptions while extracting lots of information by running a one week experiment, which also doesn't cost us much either.
Feedbacks so far mostly through friends, but also reaching out to people on twitter (e.g: https://twitter.com/#!/lorenbaxter/status/96319791110946816)
One suggestion, I would have liked to have seen some auto-complete/suggestions when typing in a beer/brewer/place at the top.
Great job!
Open source item based collaborative filter used for 'Causes you might like' feature on Causes.com. This project was built specifically with large scale data sets (approaching 1 bn input records) in mind.
The one thing I would ask is that you have/force https when actually in the app.. Even though it isn't PII -- weight can be a very touchy subject.
another thing: in the "Status".. Adding the total protein, carb, fat count for the day would also be great!
You can use the site in always HTTPS mode with this url for the time being:

Feel free to send any other feedback or bugs my way. brandon+hn@loseit.com
Couldn't be happier with the way its gone so far, and a lot of that is down to the HN community.
I'm curious how paypal is working out for you. I always feel it's a bit hokey or something. Do you have plans to use a "real" credit card processor?
I would like to move to an on-site, or at least branded, solution at some point though.
I've been talking to a start-up for payment processing without a merchant account, which looks promising, but testing/implementing it isn't very high on the to do list as I'm already processing payments ok...
You're not the first person to want to use it during building a site so a client can give feedback, even though that isn't what I built it for. I find it awesome that people will come up with use cases I hadn't considered.
Its a iPhone app that syncs/transfers your camera rolls Photo's and Movie's to you mac over WiFi whilst in the background so you don't have to remember to sync etc. I have an update waiting for approval that fixes a small bug and changes some small UI elements then I'm going to start submitting it to review sites / blogs etc.
I also launched a grammar application of iPhone that's in review.
Don't know if it counts as a launch but I rededicated an old domain to be my blog and put a fresh coat of paint on the stylesheet. http://twentyeighttwelve.com
P.S. I'm looking for interviewees, so if any of you would like to discuss your newly launched apps, let me know.
It has some decent traction so far and the current users seem to really like it. I'm currently working on an API and iPhone app to try to make it even more appealing.
I've been meaning to post it as a Show HN, but I guess I've hesitated because it's pretty basic. Please let me know what you think and sign up if you like movies.
Any feedback is always greatly appreciated!
Built using CakePHP & the Skeleton CSS boilerplate. Any feedback would be great.
I just launched it about 2 weeks ago, and I am trying to figure out the best things to do now to market/develop the product.
It's only been one week since launch but so far the reception is pretty good and I'm getting a bit of a fan base!
I figure since there are so many crappy SEO companies, there might be some demand for getting proposals from good ones.
Unfortunately my day job has ramped up and I haven't been able to spend the time on it I need- I may look around for a partner at some point to make sure automatoon can develop into a profitable product like I think it can.
It's on the Mac App Store:
Closing in on 150 users (free) in just over a week.
