Come on.. import already! I am excited.


Sorrrrry, there are SO many people in line. It's chugging away fast now. I've made some performance improvements to the importer.


interesting fact. Refurbished displays might be cheaper.


ya.. that sounds like a great idea. I'll start checking out stuff on Craigslist.


This is insane


insane


ralph told his daughter that he wanted to hold for a few more day. Touched


the company behind this app is actually http://www.pangalaktik.com/ which is based out of Hungary and other european countries :P

and the people behind it are from 7 countries like Russia, Estonia ... check out http://blog.campus.carnationgroup.com/ for the complete story


The fiestastic web design looks really good and its always nice to know that other people think there is potential in the idea. I feel its a good strategy to have an iPhone app before a website or other native apps 1) I have never said "check out this cool website" but I have said "checkout this cool app" like a million time 2) Its cost effective (for a start up) Running a server requires time, cost and energy where as distributing an app is easy. 3) You are just supporting 2 phones with 2 screen resolutions. It helps in delivering a good experience. You wont have a lot of users saying it does not work on my Sony Ericsson E10i Xperia Mini. These are just my views and they should not mean anything :P. I am definitely not an expert.


I agree it makes a lot more sense to start with an iPhone (and Android) app, but being a web developer myself, Fiestastic so far has been an effort of a few weeks, while developing an iPhone app would take a lot more time for me.

First I wanted to see if it was a good idea, and what people liked and didn't like before putting a lot more effort into it (like learning to develop native apps). Also, while native apps really are the best option, it wouldn't be difficult for me to create a mobile version of the site optimized for smartphones, so people can access the service on the go, even if not having the best experience.


congrats. I heard some people have also been able to squeeze out upgrades like MBP for a white macbook and a 17" for a 15" MBP. But in all those cases there was a lot of shouting involved.. something that I would avoid.


great.. but I have switched to alfred and love it
