Thanks for all the suggestions. We are two techies and one more of a marketing person. How did you guess? :)

Facebook graph DB is a good suggestion that we didn't think about yet. We won't abandon this anytime soon, though we need more active users to help us steer in the right direction.

Again, thanks!

because I would likely do the same thing and hope HN/Reddit/some-other-once-of-promo tool would make my cool/interesting webapp get a little successful.

Truth be told, the marketing and labour-intensive work (like even going as far as renting things on behalf of friends/family) is shittier and harder than all the tech work.

Another truth be told, I just want to randomly see you succeed. Somebody deserves a lucky break and maybe this weekend it is rentever!


I added facebook "friends of friends" features to StreetLend. A nice Neo4J graph DB powers this. Unfortunately it didn't save the site from the other issues described in my earlier comment


That's a very interesting point. We'll probably focus on user interaction first then. I'd like to think we've done more than enough to make the website usable for now...
