Hey guys, great use of Pieceable to innovate the app feedback piece. I like your templates too!
How are you guarding against other upstarts in this space like ooomf (http://ooomf.com) that are also bringing great design to mobile app landing pages (where launchrock et. al. don't shine as much?)
Also, any hope to solve the app preview problem in a way that doesn't use Flash so that it can run on Mobile Safarai?

Just re-read and saw this: ".... if I were going to jump into....recruiting startups, I would try to make it look as much like personal network hiring as possible..."
Funny about that: I started exactly that with a friend at a Startup Weekend a while ago... we didn't go anywhere with it: http://www.findexpert.co/
We also found that these guys did the same thing: https://ooomf.com/

I didn't see a link to their site in the article, so I thought I'd include one here - https://ooomf.com/

Slightly off topic, but the website of the company being talked about in this article (https://ooomf.com/) take a REALLY long time to load on my computer.

Do yourself a favour and read it here as it was intended.

It appears that this website bought the rights to publish this article from the author.
The original article appears to have been posted on the author’s blog quite some time ago: https://ooomf.com/blog/the-science-behind-fonts-and-how-they-make-you-…
As such criticising contradictions between website design and what the article advocates makes even less sense than it usually does.
