contestantThanks for the review. Check out the video, it works for real, it just uses the Stripe test API so people can demo it.
Really neat idea and executed well. Not wild about the idea that people I'm playing could be using something like this cheat against me. :)
This is also obviously a very short term project as the game will probably die in popularity as something else replaces it. Maybe you could have a site that had "help" for whatever the top games of the time are. It would take a lot of work to keep it up to date, but it could be the goto site for whatever trendy app is popular at the time.
UPDATE: I agree with many of your comments to people about their oddly low scores for completeness. I've seen so many apps on here where I can't even log in, but people find the weirdest things to mark you down for. Don't worry, it happens with everyone.

contestantThanx for the review. And another thanx for the update. But probably it's good that people expect more from my project :)
As for cheating, I wouldn't worry much, since Letterpress is using their one-of-the-kind dictionary and there always be discrepancies. And game itself is more about strategy than just putting letters together. :)
I think this is a great idea and the design looks awesome. I'd love to see a finished version.
Simple but fun. Clean execution.
Wish you could split channels to have stereo or actual surround through the different computers.
Fun idea.

contestantThanks for voting
Interesting take on a list app. These types of use cases don't really need real time, though. They need to be persistent and more asynchronous.
Always fun idea though its been done many times before. The controls and physics seemed like they need some tweaking.
Relatively basic list app technically, but executed well.
Wish it worked in more locations.
I've been a little hard on the many chat apps with voice this year. This is at least one of the better ones.

contestantUnless you admit that your vote is biased / retaliatory, would you mind an explanation since you are so clearly off the curve?
I voted on your entry and was a bit harsh. It was literally my first vote so I didn't know what to expect. I'd been meaning to update it since it was way off the curve.

contestantI actually just voted on this from random apps the site was giving me, had no idea it was from someone who had voted for my app so definitely not retaliatory. My issue was this was one of many chat room apps I've seen using the voice features coming around in browsers. I like this one the best of the ones I've seen, but its still just a chat app. With google hangout and many other options out there, it's a tough market to find space. I'll look at the scores I gave you and adjust some to match the "curve."
Couldn't log in
I didn't really understand what was going on
Not enough meaningful info for me and I would be hesitant to hand over db creds.
Couldn't log in
Love the idea, don't have or want a four square account to use it. Couldn't get logged with a teammates account.
It hurt your innovation score for me that a coworker built an almost exact app for rails rumble called Bugle.

contestantOh. but we are currently using idonethis.com for our Startup. The site is not impress us. So we want to build our own weekly status site. That's why we built SimplyDone.
Good idea. We could really use an app that does what you say. I had trouble logging in.
Seems to work, but not sure what this gives you over Steam itself. Design is seemingly pure Twitter bootstrap.
The idea sounds cool, would be nice if it worked and your video was of your actual app

contestantI've added a more relevant video demo now since the twitter auth has mysteriously broken on nodejitsu's servers.
don't understand all the interest and focus this year on apps with chatrooms and voice in Chrome
seems like there will always be profit since views can't go down
This seems like it could be cool, but hard to understand exactly what's going on. most pages don't seem to do anything yet.

contestantBasically, it's only prototype and unfortunately it contains bug which causes that pages other then map cannot show data from DB...
I can't really tell where the data is coming from. Are people tagging images with beer, or are you finding them programmatically?
Seems to work well for how you've described it. I'm having trouble thinking of when I would want to deploy a new app directly from github. If you don't have it locally, it probably means you're deploying someone else's code.

contestantThanks for the vote. Where I want to go with this is to make it a purely web-based installer for apps. I didn't have enough time to go beyond basic deploy in the contest.
So if someone publishes an app on Github, it can be installed & configured 100% through the web. Imagine something like WordPress (but runs on a PaaS) - set up your own instance and configure it without any CLI whatsoever.

Oh ok, something like Wordpress would be perfect.
Interesting idea. I found the UI very confusing. There were so many abstract icons and I don't think of them worked other than the filters. Would have been neat to see more editing capabilities. I think you should have built the interface to match closer to what was working.
Fun idea. I couldn't figure out how to add new elements, other than plain divs. The editor UI was overall a little confusing for me.
Seems pretty polished, but a chat room is pretty basic. Would have been cool if you would have gotten some of your more advanced ideas in.
Good idea, though payments is a pretty crowded market and you're leaning pretty heavily on Twitter and Stripe. Design is good, though only a single page. Hard to give too high on completeness without it working "for real." Great job with one guy, though.
