I don't have enough praise for this. I tried it when it came out for foreign companies, I thought it was brilliant and I still do.
Starting a company isn't trivial business and I'm glad someone is letting founders focus on value, rather than on bureaucracy. Congratulations!

Hey everyone!
I'm Antonio, a designer at Kite. Today we're excited to make Kite for Python available for everyone! Go to Kite.com (http://kite.com/) to download and try it yourself.
When we first shared Kite with you, we were overwhelmed by the support and enthusiasm for the product. As we gradually onboarded more users, we ironed out a lot of issues in the product, and since then we've added...

I have to say, this really is awesome.

This is awesome. I actually don't think the price is that crazy. The price matches the market target of the product: people heavy on meetings without the access to capital to hire a full-time PA or contract one.
I just have a few small suggestions about the website and the marketing materials. The call to action in the homepage, where you ask for users' work email address, is very clear and...

I think that's pretty cool, but I'm a bit confused. It's not very clear what kind of tasks the user has to do. The page linked from this thread doesn't explain examples, and digging in, the only example I can find is a answering a survey question and responding to recruiting emails. Is it like Spare5, where they're essentially paying people to feed data to their ML dataset, or is it customer...

Hey team, this is awesome. Unfortunately, most countries in the world still don't require health workers to have sign language training (though some do, which is awesome). I love the "template" concept.
What would you say is the best way to monetize this, or achieve enough app revenue to maintain it?
Edit: just wanted to add, if you guys want translations to Spanish, I'd be happy to help out

This looks like a pretty cool product. I'll definitely get it once it's out.
I just want to give my two cents on the launch, the marketing, and the design. Forgive me if I sound blunt, but this is something I've also learnt and I just want to share it. With Kickstarter campaigns, I think you want to optimize for a very important market and behavior: potential customers with disposable income...

Nice. It's a great product video for genetically engineered space robots or a new Transformers-Matrix-James Bond crossover movie.

Hi Dev,
This looks very cool. I wouldn't say the aesthetic component is vital at this point. A modular system like this one needs to be functional, and as such I could see it evolve to include other components that allow makers give it the desired visuals.
I have some questions regarding materials and strength. You mention in the kickstarter page that the blocks are "heavy" and that they...

Hey guys, congratulations on your launch! This looks sleek.
Would love to know how you're differentiating yourself from tablets (especially, given the price point, Android tablets) that may just incorporate similar photo software than yours. Especially, from the user standpoint, are there significant advantages using Joy than an Android tablet with a stand?
Also, regarding existing...

Woah, woah, woah, wat.
This is great. This is what Adobe should've done years ago but hasn't. I can understand how persisting enough semantics in a tool like Illustrator would be hard to achieve, but you don't always need a behemoth to sketch and/or wireframe.
We have a few things to wireframe in the horizon, so I'll give it a spin and send you guys feedback.

Cool, let's do the math with uberX. There's this friend's place I go to every Saturday or Sunday all the way out in the Sunset: $20 ride. My ride between home and work is $8. Plus a couple of places in the Mission I go to in the weekends: ~$12. That in a week: 8*5 + 2*20 + 4*12, more or less = 128. (Assuming I go to work in bus in the mornings, come back in uberX in the afternoons)
With flat...

Yes. Yes. I'm excited to see how this turns out.
I'm a firm believer in thin clients and with lower latency connections, I think this is where the future of computing will be. Excited to see how it works once you guys roll out to more users.

Just a few comments regarding the branding, and the targeting of the app.
It seems like there's a dissonance between the target to teenagers and the overly childish illustrations and interactions in the app. There's a few reasons why Snapchat has achieved success in similar demographics, and a lot of it is related to: the social feedback loop, the mood set by the app, the esoteric milestones...

Hey team, congratulations on your launch!
The design looks great, very sleek and it blends well with other pieces of furniture and styles in a room. That's something I always disliked in the Amazon Echo. I use the Echo on a daily basis, but it's the one piece in my living room that doesn't match the design of anything else (I've thought about modding it, like spraying it with a matte white...

Hey makers,
This product is the software equivalent of Zeus smacking you in the back of the head as you're writing - deleting - writing - deleting - writing again. I can't tell you how much time I've wasted while writing, out of lack of confidence or just plain stupidity, deleting and rewriting something.
I use Medium and Celtx (https://www.celtx.com) for pretty much all writing I do and...

Hey @amamarfo and team, congraulations on your launch!
It looks awesome, and definitely something I would use (given the right fee).
I just have some feedback with respect to your signup flow. You will probably increase your conversion ratio (and make the process more transparent) if the flow starting from your homepage is to search for a flight, pick the flight, and ask people to sign up...
