We just launched this as a Kickstarter. It's a simple silicone keyboard cover plus Apple keyboard layout installer. Thanks for any feedback or help getting the word out there. It's a wacky video, but we have been using the prototypes for a while, and for emoji lovers, it's a useful tool!

I have used FOBO as a customer and a seller, pretty amazing on both ends. I really think that adding in payment support as an option in Yardsale would have helped boost that platform a ton. Perhaps if FOBO succeeds the team will circle back and give yardsale another serious go with everything they're learning from this project.

thanks so much! appreciate the comment :-) come say hello if you are in SF.

yo steve! good to hear from you. drop by our new space!

thanks, hah, already got a call from a shark! ;-)

just really hard to turn down opportunities which don't even seem that difficult to achieve, and customers asking so much for so many things i want to give them to make THEM happy :-) plus the goal of wanting to actually have some more impact in the space. As an entrepreneur the success of the company quickly blurs so much with having an impact in the world, whether thats true or not... i feel it. Plus, i owe it to my company to keep us growing. We all want to share in on this success. I have actually not even taken a real salary yet, and was never really in this for the money.

wow, you totally called it! already got on the phone with someone wanting to take things over and do crazy things. shady people ;-) Thanks, i'll be careful. appreciate the advice. I've kept close control thus far and have not wanted to raise money. Hope the right person might come into the picture. Already happy to get a couple genuine emails. cheers!

sound advice, thanks a bunch. i just threw the executive titles out there since i think that's where they would ideally lead to, and i don't exactly know how to speak to the people we are looking for to help us. I will read the medium post you linked now! if you are ever in the bay area, hit me up, id love to meet for coffee.

yeah, i mean, i know what i;m doing by following instinct... but really at this scale... all decisions seem wrong. we truly have no one in the company who has been here before, and that is a problem.

it's all over the place since we have been building and rebuilding things, but currently it's mostly rails and node.js. Hosted on Heroku.

My company, SocialPrintStudio.com is looking for a lead designer. we are a small bootstrapped (profitable!) startup in the heart of SF, looking for someone who can work directly with me (the founder) to guide all design efforts across many awesome projects. This will be a hands on and all around awesome opportunity to join a small company while growing. The right candidate will grow our design team and bring a strong aesthetic and voice into our mix and push us all to the next level. Your starting pay will be between 4-6k monthly DOE, and we can offer health plus other benefits and up to 3% equity stake in a company doing over 2 million revenue a year and growing. I'll say it again, JOIN US, or at least get in touch and see what we're about and what we are up to.

ok, thats it for now. check our site and email me directly: [email protected]
