Love the idea, dislike the 1 color and the design. nothing wrong with minimal but this feels to narrow.

Should have put the [Y] somewhere in there imo

Bears the question, why is Amazon Payment still US-only? We in Europe need stuff like that so badly. Hell even a lot of options that Paypal offers is not available in mainstream European countries. There is really a huge opportunity and need of Stripe / Wepay / competitors that work in Europe.

This is completely crossing the line. Showing others what you have searched without notifying me about this is just offensive to me. I love quora and what they are doing, but this is completely below the belt.

Dalton stated he will return all the money if he does not raise the full amount.

Now why do I have the feeling that there is going to be a annex to that statement in a few days? He'll probably figure something out that allows him to (be allowed to) keep the money raised.

It is a near impossible task for sure. I got to know them pretty recent, and by briefly checking out their UI and features, I really felt inclined to try it out.. too bad I never got in the beta.

I feel maybe they should have endured a little longer? At least launch or public beta, and take it from there?

It looks that they shut down primarily based on monetary reasons and not being able to raise a seed. Because they needed "proof of quite large user numbers and growth – something we couldn’t supply with our own money."

I am a designer first and a developer second. Sadly I can not relate with your statements at all. A web designer who has no clue what VCS is, does not think naming matters, hell still uses inline CSS, is a poor designer in this day and age.

I feel there is a distinct difference between a "startup" and anything software related that you sell

Like maddox said himself, he had never the intention of running a business, and that's okay, that's perfectly fine, but it's not a startup. I feel lately everything is labelled a startup, while a lot of things could be, it is just not the case as long as you don't treat it like one.
