If you think about it, it's a paradox. For this to be vaguely useful, lot of people must use it. When a lot of people start using it, the system breaks.

NFC to the rescue?
Gimmick?
I'm not sure what grammar nazis look for in an article. The point the author trying to convey or pointless study of grammar?
I solved the latency problem by using websockets. I know, it's not a widely used standard but was good enough for a weekend project.
On the homepage, you could have a conveyor belt like imagery where twitter, facebook and G+ icons come out as a "qiip". Below that you could have buttons like "See example" and "Signup" etc etc.
In a user perspective, "Try Now" or the "See Demo" is the first button I press before reading anything.
I think you need to tweak a little bit of that workflow. Otherwise, great app!
I always get yelled at by my parents because I do a lot of computer programming instead of studying.
There's minimal encouragement in this society and I've seen parents pushing kids to get into CS because it pays. Environment has lot to do in making a "genius". And maybe that's why we have crappy programmers here, in India, and the deviants are pulled into the stereotype.
Assuming Pakistan is similar to India, this girl programming at such a young age is definitely a great deal. I don't think people in the first world nations understand this.
Think about it. If people are working there accept such low wages, they probably don't have other options. The alternative is, lower wages?
Though I've been programming in PHP for a while sheepish smile. So, that might've helped. Total beginners, I'm not sure.
The probable reason for this is because, you get to the "good parts" quickly (twitter code). It's good for me because I don't want to be drilled down with the basics all over again.
An idea for a code example. As you mostly concentrate on web scraping, you can teach people how they can make a PDF version of your book so that they can read it on their ebook readers. I normally learn new languages when I have a real good need for it. This example can motivate them to actually "start" coding.
And thanks a lot for your effort! Appreciate it.

The main problem is, you have to deal with senseless RBI rules, stupid (corrupt?) officials and a LOT of paper work.
If someone comes up with a "Stripe" like service in India, trust me, he's going to be a millionaire.
There's one startup that's working it zaakpay.com
Or am I doing it wrong?
Though my advise is, work on some cool open source projects instead. You don't have to be committed to all though the project. You can try getting into GSOC http://code.google.com/soc/
Funding projects like Rasberry Pi would have been much better. They don't even understand what a tablet is. It's a crippled device where all you can do is watch videos and browse the Internet on your couch. You can almost do nothing productive with the device.
Tablet is a rich man's device. Giving that to poor people is nonsensical.
I did not say that you are cynical. I just said you are shameless.
The thing is, I've have never quite learnt to parse raw mime email. I don't quite get the million RFC rules imposed.
And great work!
