I'd be happy to hear any feedback you might have on this side project. My friend and I spent about a month developing it as a tool for entrepreneurs to help refine their pitch.

I think law startups is a vague term that can account for many points of view. Startups for people 'using' the law or startups for those 'practicing' the law.

For the past few years I've been making apps such as iJuror (http://www.ijurorapp.com) specifically for attorneys and law firms. Adoption has been pretty significant but the industry is a bit more conservative when it comes to technology. Other apps such as TrialPad and TranscriptPad have been successful as well.

ClearView Social (http://clearviewsocial.com) is another startup in the legal space that helps attorneys and law firms grow their presence on social media.

I think we'll see more startups in the space in the coming years too.

Draftalyzer uses custom algorithms to determine the likelihood that a player will be drafted before your turn to draft. It takes into account team rosters, project points per player, and bye weeks.

I originally made this app because I was frustrated doing in person Yahoo drafts and not having the drafted players immediately disappear from the available players list (I wanted to save trees so I didn't print lists of players and cross them off as they were drafted).

It then turned into Draftalyzer as I added more features. Any feedback is appreciated!

Hi, I just released Homescreen Genius and I'd be thankful for any feedback.

The app is pretty simple. You take a screenshot of your device's homescreen (or any other screen for that matter), upload it in the app, Homescreen Genius uses Tesseract OCR to get the app names, and then provides you suggestions based on apps that similar users have.

I created this because I found the Tesseract OCR package and wanted to put it to use in some fashion so Homescreen Genius was created.

Thanks in advance for any feedback - I really appreciate it.
