Just FYI "burning your bridges" is a very negative term, and it's generally considered something that you should never do. (i.e., it's not something you would put a smiley after).

The phrase implies a permanent and somewhat violent (not necessarily physical) end to a relationship.

Simply quitting your job would not be considered "buring a bridge" unless you quit in such a way that you could never ever get your job back (for example, punched your boss in the face or something like that).

Your tool looks interesting and I wish you good luck with it.

One thing I would suggest at the moment is to lose the cartoon-ish tiger logo you have, in my humble opinion it doesn't fit with the type of product.

Also, I would change the colors on the various boxes that say things like "Save time", and "Save Money"...

They also seem cartoon-ish and don't seem to fit with the product.

Also at the bottom I would change this line:

> Please, can you share this with your friends and colleagues?

The tone is just overly conversational and a bit to pleading (unintentionally I'm sure).

A simple "share this" like most websites have would probably be better.

Wish I could give feedback on the product itself, but it's not the sort of thing I use.

I did not mean it in any negative way. Just to imply that I am now fully into my products.
Yea I figured, I just wanted to let you know for the future what the phrase actually means. Idioms can be tough.
