It is not an MVP...it is an invite. I am growing tired of these misinterpretations of what an MVP (formerly known as a prototype) should be. RTFM.

rougefeta, you need a Tech Co-Founder, but do you really think you're going to get a quality TCF this way? If you need a translator to read your "offering" then you are doing it wrong.

1) What are you trying to accomplish? 2) How is this a product? 3) Wow.

rougefeta, your intentions are not aligned with your output/implementation. I wish you the best and hope the comments on this thread have been helpful. You can do it, thank the stars you did not invest a ton of capital yet. Keep us informed of your intentions and progress!

I'll be fully honest.

This thing sounded like such a crazy idea that I was laughing half the time building it. At some point I had even made offered incentives automatically end with ", darling"

On what we are trying to accomplish: the "bloody brilliant" comment in the incentive link offers one explanation. Our explanation is simpler: we wanted to make some people answer our emails, and didn't know how.

Did you get quality? Again, I wish you the best of luck.
@veyron Um yeah, funny how it looks 'right' in the textbox...perhaps you can suggest a fix to HN dev? Too much stripping of the whitespace.

Tellin' me!??! Sherlock!

Wow, thanks for the great tips. Can you point me to the "HN broken features" list so I can help fix them?
Also, can you keep to the topic? rougefeta needs some help.
You need to put two newlines to show items on separate lines

for example:

abc\ndef

shows up as

abc def

and

abc\n\ndef

shows up as

abc

def
