The mobile version of the site is really slick. The onboarding for a new user felt friendly.

Two things:

1. I had little context of who the people were I could choose to follow (save for their photos).

2. I had no place to upload a profile photo.

Care to share your tech stack or how you progressed over six months of learning? I'd love to hear about it.

Hey there, the mobile version is extremely incomplete at the moment, I threw it together really with a little jquery mobile.. I guess now with the ios6 updates I can add the option to upload a photo after sign up. Also on the site version (which is much more complete) there is a little more information about who the people are you are about to follow and why you are following. I definitely have some work to do on the mobile version so thanks for the comments and advice!

A few people have asked about how everything progressed over the last six months so I am going to add a comment here with some more details in a few minutes.
