The founder himself stayed at my place using airbnb this summer. I'm a YC alum. He has one of the most interesting founding stories I've ever heard. He is a Siberian-Kazakhstani hacking competition winner who knows Judo and runs a series of small businesses in Russia. Bars that partake in sportsbetting-all Legal. He designed the software as a way to manage his businesses with his founders and grew it into something more.
Who cares how amazingly, mind-blowingly awesome your buddy the founder of Rizzoma is? This thread is about another project, and it's not based on Wave. This is hardly the place where you should walz in and shill for something else without so much as a word about Pivory, let alone some constructive criticism of any kind.
I wish you the best in building your technology. I will say you've done some pretty cool stuff in the area of UX with the ability to change the fonts and appearance on the fly. I meant no offense.
Again, sorry.
Pivory is a one-man project. I built all the codes and designs by myself (and owe many thanks to the users who were so nice and provided many useful comments - I posted it to /r/programming before this).
I have been coding for 20 years, so it's not that unthinkable. Sometimes the one-man way can be the fastest way. No time wasted in communications. Refactoring is always straightforward.
Rizzoma is 100 times more complicated and I must say: nice work! It covers a completely different market. I can see all the efforts behind it.
BTW I like how Ivory works. Me and other guys from rizzoma team played a couple hours with Ivory. My congratulations for developer!
How can anyone read my comment and infer it's my project? Was my wording really that misleading?!?
Because we all know a person who's said to us at one point or another "I wish I had a way to have a chat instantly become a document where topics of discussion are organized into branches of a mind-map diagram."
I feel that I really didn't give rizzoma a fair tryout but then if the first impression is overwhelming and scary, it's hard to move forward.
I'd suggest cutting all the crap and introduce more complex features over time.. or when it's needed.
For starters I wouldn't log in to a site like this using neither a Facebook account (which I have but it's full of bogus data) or a Google+ account (which I only have because they created it for me, which is when I deleted the little true info about me there).
