I think the unstated assumption is that there's some sort of processing that occurs on each review every day. So with 100 million reviews every 24 hours, that's just over 1157 requests per second.

That Curve25519 implementation is by Moxie Marlinspike, and that RipeMD160 algorithm is built into BouncyCastle.

There may still be attack vectors on them, but that's about as close to "reviewed by professional cryptographers" as you're likely to get at this point.

I actually just got a prototype working that loads up HBase data through Phoenix into Spark for analytics.

So far the results look very promising. Across millions of rows, we're getting queries back in the orders of single seconds.

I'm also able to get millions of rows back on specific, unindexed queries (e.g. "SELECT * FROM EVENTS WHERE TYPE = 'some_type'"), and can run analytics across that data in under a minute per run.

The previous comparison to CQL for Cassandra is apt, though I've found the builtin functions and grammar to be a lot more powerful.

If you plan on targeting mid-size companies and up to enterprise, you're going to need to have some sort of AD/LDAP integration.

The onboarding/offboarding process is generally initiated from there, and internal apps and services tend to use that as the canonical user store.

Good luck with your project, I hope it works out well for you!

Congratulations on the launch, I hope everything goes well.

A list of carriers I think would be useful, or a way to verify that the phone will work in your area (e.g. zip code or phone number lookup).

Also, is it US only? Any support for Canadian carriers?

Works great for me, using Chrome on Ubuntu 12.04 on a Dell Inspiron 15R (Radeon 7700M) with the latest fglrx drivers.

Have you thought of throwing up an email-collection landing page, and putting a few bucks into Adwords to gauge demand? If there's nothing else in this space, you may be on to something, but you'll have to do some legwork to generate interest.

This looks like something that could work well as SaaS, I'm not sure you'd get enough traffic for ads to work out for you.

BTW, the graphing library is beautiful, but you might want to outsource some logo and design work.

Good luck!

I'll agree that lacking models or in-game content, it's pretty unlikely they've made any headway at all into this thing, but isn't that the point of the Kickstarter?

Take a look at the Creative Team and check out their pedigree. In my opinion, it looks like they might just have the talent they need to get this thing off the ground.

Font-Awesome also has a really nice 'Animated Spinner' icon as well on that example page, which works nicely with Bootstrap buttons.

Ha, I love how /about is also represented as JSON. Also, good call adding the 'Pro' field. Are you getting any traction there?
