The idea is simple: to have a beautiful place to collect and share quotes. It will be fully plugged into twitter and facebook yet all the noises are filtered away.
Since all three of us are doing this for the first time, any comments would be appreciated. Thanks HN!

But why, oh why, would you make it so hard for me to try it out?
First I couldn't decide if I wanted to spend the time to register based on your landing page. I'm lazy. Eventually I decided to register since you guys didn't have any comments on this thread. After registering I needed to confirm my email. Sigh.
Next I signed into my email and clicked on the confirmation link. Which took me to the log in page where I had to type my info again.
I would have been much more interested if I could simply see and play with the application itself without having to fill out any forms. After playing with the app I can then decide if I want to register.
Agree with the sign-in part. We're using Django (perhaps should have picked rails) and that's the default settings. We will rectify that issue soon. Thanks again for the feedback!
Also, when I think quotes, I think typography. The way a short quote bunches up at top, leaving most of the background empty looks weird. Also, I think a serif typeface is much better suited for this role.
Need sign in with Facebook.
I don't like the background... need a lot more work.
Your open double quote is not matched with a closing double quote. This is awkward.
What's your monetization strategy?
Once I signed up and logged in, it was downhill for me too. Quotes don't seem to need backgrounds, photos, etc. Play with more typography and minimize the design elements!
Sign-in with Facebook will also be integrated soon.
