Hi guys, my name's Lasse I work at Someone.io :)

We are really pleased to see such interest and enthusiasm in the product, it chimes with what we've been hearing from users since we launched our beta in May. Your feedback is very useful for us - Someone.io is still in development and we are currently in the middle of an equity crowdfunding campaign which you can see over at http://invest.someone.io .

If there is anyone who wants to support us and become a shareholder, we'd love for you to go and have a look at our campaign and invest.

You're also more than welcome to follow us at http://www.twitter.com/someoneapp and http://www.facebook.com/someoneapp Thanks everyone!

When are you going to release it for real? Unclear, given that the pricing page says "Coming this summer"...is it possibly in 11.5 months? If you don't get payments, how can we know it will still exists in a few months?

Looks neat btw!

I came here to ask a very similar question - "this summer" means completely different things depending on where on the globe you sit, and it's even more confusing that the majority of readers have just exited the summer.

It gives the distinct impression they've already missed the promised deadline even if that's not the case.

Hi jipiboily and pc86, thanks for this comment.

You’re right! That plan to release the payment model this summer was made back in spring and that text wasn’t supposed to be there... The reason we changed was we started a partnership with http://www.sintef.no/en/ (Scandinavia’s largest independent research organisation) in March which made us change some things about the direction we are taking the product in.

We have been working with SINTEF and 6 pilot partner companies to fine tune the product to meet user needs as they define them and also to make sure we have a premium, paid version that is going to work.

It will be rolled out by the end of this month and, while I don’t want to give too much away, there will be a free option and a premium version with extra features where companies pay per user/per month. We will be sure to let you guys know when we have more details.

Thanks again, Lasse @ Someone.io
