Looks good. Can it accept a simple userid/password login, rather than via some social network?

the frontend implementation is intentionally super simple but for any question feel free to drop me line :)

What have you built this in?

EDIT: Why was I downvoted?

Stamplay looks great.

A heads up: I'm using the Disconnect plugin in Chrome and your “Start now” buttons on the Stamplay homepage don't do anything when clicked. (I had to whitelist the site in Disconnect before they'd function, possibly because of the tracking you're using in the click event bound to that button?) Just thought I'd mention it as Disconnect is quite popular with your target market.

The button does not work with plain Adblock Plus too.

Thanks for mentioning it. In order to understand how apps are created we track clicks on that button, we'll handle this problem cause a lot of people use Adblock and similar tools!

Glad that you like it! We've just handled the Disconnect problem thanks for sharing this with us :)
