Do users have to be registered to vote? How will you bring in the non-developer person to sign up to LaunchSky? If I was building a SaaS type app, this would be awesome because my target market would actually be voting. But any other type of app I'd like the avg consumer to be voting.

This is a great question. Our primary crowd will initially be tech-focused, so if you pitched an idea where your target market is restaurants, you're not going to get people from the community clicking "I'd use it." That said, you would probably still get some useful feedback (other apps in the space, technical challenges, etc), just like you would by posting here. Later down the road, we might be able to offer access to other markets by posting to our site (e.g. select by a market category when you post, we push out your post to a group representing that market).

We'll probably split support in some way.

NOT SIGNED UP: likes/up-vote; something basic SIGNED UP: the above + "i'd use it" + feedback; still have to figure out how to effectively incentivize these users and keep them coming back for more.
