How do you have a burn rate of only $18,500/mo with seven (apparently) full-time employees? Is that burn rate net of some kind of revenue, or are your seven employees making an average annual salary of about $31K each? Even for TN that seems awfully low.

As a point of reference, in SV a ballpark OPEX for 7 employees in a startup would be $80-90K.

I'd recommend "Atlassian suite (Jira, etc.), except simple and un-sucky" as a positioning statement that would pique my interest.

Sencha Touch is free now (not sure when that happened). And the multi-hundred kb framework isn't much of an issue since it's bundled up in the native download and always local to the device.

Love it - I find myself emailing myself notes and links several times a day, and this is a big time saver.

Two suggestions:

1) make a Chrome and FF browser extension for it, so you can get a first-class button on the browser (or be in the right-click menu). Bookmarklets are quick and easy, but I don't display my bookmarks bar in Chrome, so I have to go hunt for it. By contrast, my Bit.ly chrome extension has a cute little yellow fish button at the top of my browser all the time, and so gets mindshare and use every day.

2) The notes are sent without a subject line. Would recommend a subject something like "[cctome] First 30 or so characters of note..."
