I downloaded your app 10 minutes ago and I think there should really be a way to turn of participation.

Right now I get like 1 question a minute.

Otherwise, very nice mvp, works quite well and I could imagine myself using it every day/week.

hey timdaub, thanks for the feedback and sorry for the constant notifications you might be getting, we are pretty low on users right now. You should not receive as many once we get more users :)

With more users won't you get more questions being asked?

Here's a quick demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vq03pewE6ds

Download the Android App here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quicktions...

We're still in early beta. Feedback is welcomed!

Looks likes you and Omkarnath has decided to post on show hn everyday :P

Fairly good idea, I think it would be better if one could just post links of products directly and app would extract images etc.

:) Being able to post links to products and extracting images directly is next on our roadmap.

At least you're all consistent!

Interesting idea. I'm reminded of Aardvark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aardvark_%28search_engine%29). That was a fun service before it was shuttered. What is this built on? Seems pretty lightweight.

Best wishes.

Thanks sathyabhat. Didn't know about Aardvark. Our back-end is completely built on Go and the app is hybrid.

Is there a way for me to answer questions from the webpage without downloading the app?

nharada, sorry, but that won't be possible at least for now

Great Job!! Congrats!

Very simple and easy to use. No doubt highly helpful in those difficult times. Try posting in Product Hunt, you'll get lot of traction (since it is your early days)

thanks for the feedback. We have learned few things that are absolutely essential when we got traffic from HN. we will be adding some more features, fixes before posting on product hunt :)

Why does the app need these permissions?

Product is good. Bug-> it asked me the question I posted. When are you trying on PH?

Damn, I was working on something really really similar. Well... I guess I have work to do.

Me too! Nice way of validating that it seems like a good idea though.

i asked a question yesterday and then i was doing something else while waiting that 5 minutes. then today i realized i forgot to check it out later and i closed that tab already!

Love the idea, let me know when you launch an iOS version.
