It's interesting to get a rundown of Mongo's limitations from someone who clearly knows what they're talking about. Thanks.

love it. the pace these guys develop at is insane.

so awesome, loved the design and execution of this thing. maybe this concept could be expanded to other beautiful hot countries.

velly nice

Interested in revenue vs exit valuation... Can you say anything about it? The margins must be phenomenally low if the valuation was only 10% of what you process yearly...

Great work man. I've always wondered why this didn't exist. Seems like a very good MVP. I will use it.

"NFC will take over"

Care to evidence that assumption just a little bit?

Designers in the house! I literally could not absorb the content of the 'letter' because the design hurt my eyes so.

Really impressive to see how fast these guys are iterating. Excited to see where this goes.

Very true.

looks really awesome. interested to see what if any data analysis can be linked to current events.

I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment of this piece, but I think the distinction between layout and design isn't highlighted.

If you use a framework like Bootstrap to underpin your html and css then having a responsive layout is really very easy. The point of a responsive layout is that your site is legible and clickable to users on non-desktop screens, not that your site looks beautiful for every user.

This site is responsible for more lulz than any in recent memory. Very addictive late-night.

1+ BILLION pageviews per month. With a team that can kick enough ass to produce those metrics in such short time, doesn't seem so risky.

Awesome work guys. The gap between aspirational support and actually pushing forwards a cause is still far too great, and I'm looking forward to see how you narrow it.

Great idea. We're going to try this.

I do think this is a great idea, and I actually subscribe to it (although definitely don't do it). I think the higher-order problem that you touch on is that when we have a million things to do, we tend to de-prioritise those that are outside our comfort zone, regardless of how much value they could add.

Awesome

Awesome! How does this service just keep getting better and better? They are really able to focus on building an awesome product!

Love these guys. Super awesome idea and a great team.

This just keeps getting better and better. I know of several non-coders whose 'learning to code' project was building a working iPhone app, all because of Trigger.io! Badass.

LOL at that picture :)

Love these guys

awesome. mad props

Love this site

Jesus this is ugly. The whole point of Bootstrap is that it's super easy for anyone to make a visually non-jarring website. Bootstrap effectively democratises good design basics on the web. What this is doing is precisely the opposite.

love the design

epic!

Agreed. I feel like we are probably the first generation who has grown up with the world's knowledge at our fingertips. Once you know how to use it, every problem seems solvable. Yet still the majority of my friends don't have this attitude. I've forgotten how many times (as the 'tech' friend) I've directed them to an lmgtfy.com link. I wonder what stops people from grasping the concept you're talking about here - from experiencing their own 'tipping point'.

Love Easel.
