Then, once the content is loaded, the animation between the "About Framous > Select a layout > Select Photos > Select a Frame > Get Framous!" pages also takes too long, which spoils the user experience in my opinion.

Great start though. If you can improve these issues, I think you will have a really nice site.

e.g. sender logs a job online (& provides payment details), sender prints a barcode sticker, sender drops off package with the building doorman/concierge and/or walks to designated quadcopter landing zone adjacent building, outgoing package scanned and loaded onto quad-copter, quad-copter delivers package to recipient's landing zone, quad-copter/system sends notification to recipient to advise that package has been delivered, recipient goes to quad-copter landing zone to collect package, recipient scans barcode or provides electronic signature to acknowledge receipt.

Terms & Conditions: Anyone who implements this idea (or minor variation) must give hook and I a $1 royalty each for every job logged ;)

The total value of YC companies is $3 billion. While, the total amount invested by YC is $5 million.

Very impressive results when you consider that YC takes about a 6% stake for its initial investment. Congratulations to all involved.

I am currently developing a game application for iOS devices, however a competitor has just released a very similar game using the exact name I wish to use (e.g. It's like I am developing a black-jack card game and a competitor has just released a similar card game for sale in the app store called "black-jack").

Although I'm obviously biased, I think my game is a superior implementation and is ultimately a much more polished app. Accordingly, I believe that my app is a better product overall and would be obviously different if customers were choosing between my app and my competitor's app (i.e. similar functionality/gameplay, but completely different user interface).

The problem is I want to keep the name if possible since the name describes the game itself, I have secured a relevant domain name, and the name is still available in the Android market (which would be my second target market).

What would you suggest?

* 1. Should I persist and submit the app under the "shared" name? (Wouldn't a submission like this be rejected straight away?) * 2. Should I change my app's name subtlety to differentiate my product? (e.g. something like "black-jack.com's black-jack" or "iBlack-Jack" instead of just "black-jack" which is already taken) * 3. Should I just cut my losses with the app store and concentrate on the Android Market?

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, niqolas

If the goal is to understand, support and/or show respect for the uncontacted tribes, I think the focus should be adjusted to: "Do unto others as they want you to do unto them".

One constructive criticism: I would add some more space around the "Search" functionality. This area is a little cluttered at present (too close to the preview image on the right and the high level process text/images below) and my eye I think you would improve conversions by emphasising this section a little more (since performing a search should be the "call to action" for visitors).

Who would you invite to your "fantasy dinner party" and why?

Rules: 1. 5 guests only (excluding you as host) 2. guests can be living or dead 3. famous, infamous and/or "recognisable" guests are preferred (NOTE: It's YOUR fantasy so lesser known guests are accepted, but please provide a short background/description to help readers)

Can't wait to hear your suggestions :)
