Hey, actually you can try our implementation at http://iDoneThis.com (author of the post here). We have a team thing we're rolling out and this post was in part to gauge interest.

Love the concept but hate the name. "iDoneThis" isn't even proper grammar...

This is a case where a few hundred dollars on a good domain name would go a long way.

It’s an excellent name. It’s not supposed to be proper grammar—that’s part of the playfulness of it. It’s not a sentence, it’s a name. What you’re saying is like saying ‘Flickr’ isn’t a word.

It's a stupid name, because it also parses as a sentence, and a wrong sentence at that.

The product seems fine, but the name is irreparably bad.

Maybe I can't see it because the phrase is already in my head buy what exactly is incorrect about "You have got mail?".

Is it just the superfluous 'got'?

Yes. We used to get hundreds of letters from English teachers pointing out that the correct phrasing was "You Have Mail". In fact, at one point, the AOL welcome screen said "You Have Mail", even though the voice still said "You've Got Mail".

But, like "idonethis", and like you, we thought our version was just.. stickier. And it stuck.

Downvoter, this was my point: Sticky beats grammar. (See also: Think Different.) Sorry if I was too terse to make it clear.

Will take a look at it. Thanks! I don't always go up to the www version of blog.* domains and missed the sidebar.

I remember when Leaky (YC S11) launched, its design was quite obviously taken from Square, but they put the notice: "All design credit goes to Square. We based our design on their home page until we can hire a designer of our own." http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/08/yc-backed-leaky-is-hipmunk-...

It totally depends on the site. For developers, engineers, and anyone familiar with the software industry, it might feel played out. But to people like my family and numerous friends who are NOT in the industry, it still feels exclusive.

Munch is used in various ways to describe oral sex, e.g., "carpet muncher", which refers to "eating out" a girl.

True, nevertheless, there's a big difference between being able to solve a problem ex ante and being able to explain a solution ex post.

i don't know if i agree with this. I see your point, and it's valid. However, living in NYC I became accustomed to getting anything I wanted within a 5 block radius. Or at least, if you can get it within a 5 block radius, the convenience factor is so so much greater than going crosstown or something and/or hiring a mover.

this sounds useful. Thanks! I'll look into it.

Thank you for running searchyc all of these years. It was a tremendously useful service.

I agree -- and not just an ecosystem, but competition. Apple's native apps have to be up to snuff because of pressure from the store. Those few apps that rise to the top did so in part from the mechanism of competition.

Got it. Thank you.
