She admits that the site is a bit lack in the usability department. “It’s hard to tell what it is just by looking at it,” she says. “It’s remarkable to me that people have figured out how to use it.”

This. I love the fact that people have come to use her site despite its usability problems. To me, it shows there's a real need out there.

Admittedly, I also believe having a great UI from the start can be a differentiator (especially in a young market), but products that get used despite a poor UI mean current alternatives were even worse (or non-existent) for these users.

I hope she's able to turn this into something to works out for her.
