Thanks for trying it out in such detail!

> 2. Input validation needed for links

We just fixed this; thanks for the report!

> 3. Is it possible to scope searches?

I just added search scoping based on the current map viewport; thanks for the suggestion! I've been meaning to do this for a while.

> 4. Default map zoom is inconsistent.

I also just pushed a fix that zooms in if the newly-created marker is too close to another one. Take a look and see if it works!

The other issues will take a bit longer, but they're all definitely real:

1. We have issues with editors editing text at the same time, and this is an ongoing limitation of how we're using ShareDB on the back-end. We'll do our best to make it better

5. We definitely should add bubbles to show who else is editing for sure! You're not missing anything -- we really need to do this

On the overall business feedback part, it's definitely tough. We've had some success with affiliate ads for our other sites, but otherwise, B2B is a much easier market in many ways. We're going to build the best product we can, and keep costs low.

On the travel agents side, one name you've probably heard of is Travefy! (They similarly pivoted from a B2C to B2B) Take a look, and feel free to give me an email if you'd like to be introduced to a Travefy early-user travel agent to learn what she likes about it (peter@travelchime.com)

What kinds of limitations do you have with sharedb? How do you use it? I've recently started using it in a project and would like to know the limitations.
