It’s LIVE!
Holy heck! Amigo is alive and kicking!
You faithful BNA readers are the first to know. Please give it a good thrashing and email us if you find any errors. Please submit any bugs (with screenshots, what platform you’re on and what you were doing) to support -a-t- heyamigo d*o*t net
The above screenshot is me telling BitPusher to set it live :)
Thank you for all your support, feedback and encouragement. It means a lot to us. We’ll keep you updated on how it’s going.
Congrats guys - nice to see it finally live after following the development since February. Particularly like the forward thinking on /template/images/whosUsing.png ;) Hope it takes off!

Hey congratulations guys. I’ve been keeping up with development for the past few months and I’ve got to say I’ve learned a lot through what I’ve read. I appreciate all you’ve done to document your work. Thanks, and good luck!

Just to let you know that the JS email script on the ‘About us’ page is not validating.
Minor issue I know.

Yey! Good job guys!

I love it, I just wish I actually had a mailing list… Maybe now’s the time to start one…

Have to say congrats!
Crossing my fingers for a success, great work.

I like it, just had a quick run through, interface is nice, was walked through setting an advert up and didn’t get lost.
Good luck, hope it all works out.
Comment by Darrell Taylor — September 5, 2006 @ 9:43 pm
Congrats, it looks both nice and useful.
But I totally disliked the category control. It is buggy (FireFox), slow to update (due to bugs? or just slow) not resizable (it is in OSX) etc.

Nice one!
Love reading bare naked app you guys are an inspiration.
You probably already know but you made it onto webcreme this morning http://www.webcreme.com/2006/09/amigo/ as “web design inspiration”
How true
Comment by Dave Abrahams — September 5, 2006 @ 11:55 pm
Hey - you’ve inspired me to do the same: start a web app, and blog about the making of it. Hopefully i’ll be as successful as you guys!

The site is smoothbudget.com, but that isn’t working yet because the DNS is still being updated…

Congratulations guys! Looks really nice, can’t wait to try it out.

If you’re gonna link to XHTML/CSS validators, you might as well make your pages validate ;).

Congrats, Ryan! It looks like you just got techcrunched, too. So much for a soft launch :)
Comment by Michael T. Halligan — September 6, 2006 @ 5:00 am
Congratulations guys! Quick question. I do not get to pick the newsletters directly correct? They system will just find newsletter in my category?
Comment by Jason — September 6, 2006 @ 5:15 am
I’ll get right on this - doh!
That’s correct. The newsletters will only see your ad if it’s in the same categories as your ad. Once they see your ad, they’ll choose it if it’s right for their readers.
Boris, can you please send me a screenshot and a description of the bugs you’re seeing. We’d like to nail those. Just shoot an email to ryan at our company URL. Thanks!

Congratulations guys !
I follow your work since the beginning, and I have to say that my vision about web apps have changed thanks to you.
Long life to Amigo !
Comment by Vincent — September 6, 2006 @ 10:00 am
Well done guys, a success!
Now we can get back to some more regular drinking with Dave ;)
Comment by Damien Tanner — September 6, 2006 @ 1:32 pm
Nice job!
However one nit-pick - when you click on “Learn more” or the “Learn” link, it takes straight to the first page of the guide for advertisers. Newsletter owners need to look for and find the links on the left, and then click on them, to find information relevant to them.
I reckon a lot of newsletter owners are going to leave at that point, frustrated and not being able to find information relevant to them.
I think it would be a lot better if either the “Learn” links led to a “Advertiser/Owner” split as on the front page, or on the front page add buttons for “Learn more” beneath “Sign up” on each of the Advertiser/Owner panels.
Comment by Dan G — September 6, 2006 @ 4:32 pm
Well done to you both! It looks great - I’m looking forward to making use of it.

Congratulations to the BareNakedApp guys…
I just wanted to say congratulations to Ryan and his team and to thank them for running the blog, it’s been quite inspirational and extremely informative for me. One day, once I come up with the right idea, I might follow in their footsteps.
If y…
