Show HN: We built Pipe in 48 hours using Singly, Node.js & Ember.js

Should be back up now - thanks for the report! Will try and write up soon :)

Yeah - thanks for pointing that out. We're pitching in 45 minutes, but will aim to get some posts up describing our experience.

You can check http://blog.pipeapp.co (we need to connect it to the live app still so there's links between, but I've been posting about our experience) for the time being.

Thanks for asking!

Keeping up with a professional network can be a lot of work. The idea is that Pipe breaks this down into one person to contact each day. It's not going to be for everyone, but for people that want a little push each day reaching out to the people they've lost touch with.

For me, as a transplant from the East Coast to SF, there are high school friends, college buddies, and plenty of colleagues that I don't talk to regularly. Pipe will tell me which one person to reach out.

getting an application error, here comes the hn crowd.

there is no error message if I click on "Ok, I'm done!" without pull-in any contacts

So currently what we didn't make clear (and will fix soon) is that you need to be signed in with LinkedIn in order for it to populate. Our apologies!

Same here; I can't read it.

Nowhere does it mention stalking or spamming.

However, that being said, it still seems easier and more practical for me to pick some random person from my social networks myself if I really wanted to do this.
