This is a great idea and I think it will be successful, nice work.

However, I wonder how the ability for anyone to ask for money for anything is going to impact the crowdfunding market over time. It seems as the tools become more accessible crowdfunding fatigue will get stronger.

I see it as the the WordPress for crowdfunding: enable less technical people to do something technical.

Here is the open spec to the current version of the API: https://github.com/Crowdtilt/crowdtilt-api-spec
