It is Hackathon Culture after all; Do something because you can, or just to see what is possible. Unfortunately, you guys are getting lots of negative pushback here. Sometimes, it's not what the Tech does, but how you leverage the Tech, and how you Package your Product. Is this a "just for fun" project, or do you guys plan on going all the way? If the intention here is to build/release a real product, I can see a few potential issues with this approach, some of which are already covered here. Perhaps if you used a different approach, and solved a different problem (Same Tech, Different Product) you might have more positive feedback. In fact, I can think of a great 'Pivot' possibility here using the Tech you've built to provide a different Type of Service that I can see customers happily using, and paying for. If this sounds interesting, feel free to reach out to me on Twitter, @shawnkreilly

Good Job on the Tech!!
