Responsive (zurb foundation), taught myself to program (udacity), built to scale (flask/heroku/memcached/redis). Solo founder/designer/programmer. This has been a long time coming (idea- education-buildtime-launch = 14+ months). I built the website I believe the world needs right now and exactly the way I always imagined the perfect "local/social/mobile" network. Just set "where & who" and your at an open forum with threaded conversations, voting, and community managed "sticky" links. Mute the users you don't want to see, post anonymous jots to protect your identity, quickly toggle muted/anonymous users, "watch" area/groups to quickly jump between favorites and set notification settings for each, wave and send private messages to other pinjot users, view board statistics and determine if its worth a flat-rate "pin'd jot" to get your message out to a wide audience of interested viewers. Earn points and badges as the pinjot community "thumbs up"'s your jots and rate their experiences with you.
Communication with any group in any geographic area will soon be possible!
