this is something you gotta upvote before even reading it

how about for the first page display a random subset of N pages worth of new submits, for a small N? Nobody scrolls past N pages anyway.

reminds me of what George Bernard Shaw said, "do not do unto others as you would that they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same."

maybe directly embed the screen cast in the starting template

a screencast of the app would nice

I impressed by how easy it is to use. Perfect for Church moms organizing themselves.

I don't like how it's sending my password back to me in plaintext when I register, though.

i'd love to see some hacker news ppl being interviewed

passive income ftw

i registered for both. so i now have

jummp.in letsjump.in jummpp.in

and incidentally, but completely unrelated,

hummpp.me ;)

which would should be the canonical? I am think letsjump.in? then in the future i can maybe buy jump.in, without having to rebrand

ya. but then with jumpp.in or jummp.in, it's hard to remember which of m or p is doubled

my email is hayeah at gmail

thanks so much! i'll do that

thanks for the brain dump :) ya, you are different from the assumptions i am making. lesson learned

thanks everyone for taking the time to comment. I think the main lessons are:

1) provide independent login 2) explain better what facebook connect is used for 3) provide more information upfront what the service is like, some people can decide if they want it. 4) an example page

i am glad i got early feedback :) thank you all so much

ya. i was thinking in terms of clicks. one click, and you have an account. I didn't expect the idea of using facebook itself a big mental wall. But the immediate plan is

1) make a screen cast 2) link to my own account as an example page 3) some sort of alternate login

yes. lesson learned. offer options other than facebook login.

the footer is a potemkin village ;)

hahaha, that's awesome. 12 different flavors of maybes

to be honest, i am a surprised that facebook connect is the biggest issue. I guess we techies are more cautious and cynical about facebook. I wonder how i can test against a less tech oriented crowd.

But ya, more API integration.

that's a good idea. do you think a screencast would help to convince you? that's one of the things i haven't got around in doing.

what are the thoughts that are going through your mind when you were like, uggh, i don't know if i want to login with facebook?

i'll for sure implement login for jummpp.in itself. Before that though, i think it's a good idea I establish a baseline so I can see how many people actually want to use a separate login. This is one area i am not sure of. Some of my friends like facebook connect, some are surprisingly reluctant (despite knowing it's from me).

cool! ya i'd be very interested to hear your experience. i'll drop you an e-mail.

thanks! glad you like it. jummpp.in is somewhere between facebook events and facebook statuses. Right now it has a little extra features over facebook statuses (hashtag, so you can quickly find all the #lunch events, for example).

as I develop the app more, I'd build more features to help solidify a suggestion. For example, multiple choices of dates, so people can vote on which date works the best.

do you think twitter integration might work for you?

is anyone having the same problem? the "find friends" page queries facebook for the list of your friends also using jummpp.in. which is most likely the empty set. Tearing my hair out why Super_Jambo is being logged out.

that is weird. i am not getting any exception raised. let me try to track it down.

eeek. really! does it do that all the time? but can you log back in? so sorry for that :(

the enormous yellow bar is large and loud... in hope to focus attention on the facebook connect. But ya, I'll have to spend some time taking a closer look to fix the little issues

clickable http://jummpp.in

the other weird thing I do is remapping the meta keys,

cmd => caps lock ctrl => cmd

so they are waaaay more accessible. Emacs used to hurt my pinky, because I had to curl it in a weird way to access to ctrl key. Now I use my thumb for the ctrl key, and ring finger for the cmd key. It works well for me, like a poor man's kinesis. I NEVER EVER use the ctrl key at the bottom left corner of the keyboard.
