I'm biased of course, but am super excited to see this in the world!!! Phil and I went through SO MUCH learning (and mistakes) to build RGB and Radish. If someone is even considering starting community/co-housing/buying a house with friends, this should dramatically improve chances of success. This is not just about living the dream - it's about how to build the dream. :)

@benburns, no worries, we don't get your email. So while we think our infrequent and insightful emails are great, we won't bias you to sign up.

Hi there - Kristen here. Dan Ariely, @behaviorly and @jhreha wrote these bits in hopes we can take the key insights and studies from behavioral sciences and provide simplified lessons targeted directly for product people. As always we hope you use these insights for good. :)

This is a great product. I use it to pay my hourly people and for fixed rate contractors. Love the design, the workflow and the reporting interface

However the first use experience here is an example of a growing but disheartening principle: Products ask you to recommend them to friends before you have found any value from the application. I have 4 notifications which ask me to put my name against the app to my friends. Using the idea of reciprocity is...

Love this. It's a nice party game generally - in addition to online world. Would be nice to study how funny collaborative jokes are vs individual jokes.
