As we're still in the process of building Pro accounts, we wanted to get users who would most likely sign-up first.
We placed a 'notify me' button in the UI, working really well. After around 3 weeks we've over 100 users signup.
I was inspired by Buffer's MVP post a while back, great idea.
Can you describe the error you got the first time?
We've been working hard on getting our free prototyping tool out of beta and thought it might be a good time to share it with community.
Marvel is a really simple rapid prototyping tool that allows anyone to create interactive clickable/tapable prototypes from images on Dropbox.
Because everything is synced off Dropbox, any change you make to the image is synced and prototypes update automatically.
It's free to use and hopefully it will become a really useful tool for designers, developers, startups, students and anyone else who wants to bring their mobile and web ideas to life.
Would appreciate any feedback!
I think we'd go with credit card option as that's what we plan to use on the site
Either way it's awesome idea congrats on launching
That's not a very big group for the UK to make such a statement
Just wondering about Snapchat's claim to have 70% users.
Could they have possibly run the names of users through a gender DB to get a rough percentage?
Last year we created our own Instagram bot which automated many of the interactions I went through manually when trying to get people to follow me (liking photos, following users).
It turns out there's a pretty decent reciprocation rate and in turn, thousands of users flooded to my Instagram profile and tapped the link contained on it which was to our iPhone app in the App Store.
We managed to rack up several thousand downloads and my photos hit the Popular page over 40 times
It was a fun experiment, I ran the bot for 9 months and collected all the stats and figures here:

We worked in our spare-time to get out a really early beta, once we had that and some users I started asking around and networking to find investors.
Took around 3-4 weeks and dozens of meetings to find the right one. Almost took the first offer we got which was a quarter of what we settled for.
Although I used Angel List and F6S, in the end it was a personal intro from a old freelance client that got us the money
Congrats to SI

Great stuff,just shared it across Twitter
It reorders the Billboard top 100 based on lyrics, so top 5 songs with the most profanity etc.
After the hackday the API access to the services expired, but check it out anyway!

However I think the idea is amazing. It's early days for this stuff I'm sure but it has potential. There needs to be tests for absorption of protein etc
Since then they've been playing catch-up, plus not having the full licenses doesn't help them.
Pro Evo had a lot of character and it felt like you could see their passion for football in the way they made the game. Little details throughout the gameplay were awesome.
I thought EA was a souless corp that didn't have a clue about football, but now they lead the way.
I can't ever recall any European publishers making any hit football games, not sure why. You probably won't see any for a long time either such is EA and Konami's dominance
I actually haven't played any football games on a console in the last 6 years that haven't been either Konami or EA.
Sega Virtua Striker went from arcade to console but never took off.
