"ignore the haters... we're all jealous... btw what does your app do I'm never using it again".

You just proved all the "haters" right and disproved your own statement.

(Not that I agree with all the "haters", I quite like the idea and can think of times I'll use it, but your post is contradictory)

It isn't contradictory to congratulate someone and state honestly that he is confused about how the app is meant to be used, and therefore won't likely try it again. For example, I admire what Zynga has accomplished but won't ever play one of their games myself.

but you're saying everyone is jealous when almost all of the grievances come from the fact that the app is useless to most people. You confirmed this point (that it is useless to you) yet you also claim that everyone else is just jealous. Why can your "I'm never going to use it" not be the same reason everyone else has and why can't that be a valid reason for thinking this is ridiculous?

Somebody saw something huge in their app. I wasn't this person.

I am happy that somebody saw something huge in their app because it means that a few developers have found some success, and seeing other people be successful makes me happy.

I personally think that a lot of the comments I've seen here stem from jealously because I personally am jealous of their funding.
