Have to echo that it's a beautiful app...

So this is like Uber for bike messengers (and other courier type services)? Very well done, have had occasion where I could have used it in NYC.

Thanks! NYC is coming up - no worries.

Nice looking app. I stopped at the part where you asked for a credit card. I am not sure if I can trust you with that info. Great job though and I'm glad you're delivering happiness in SF.

We actually just have a version under review that allows you to skip the CC entry during registration. ;) However, we use Stripe to store your Credit Card details.

Cool, good to know. I look forward to the next release. :)

Great idea and beautiful UI. I sent chocolates to a friend in SF. I'm a little sad he got an email notification, though. I was hoping it would be a surprise.

Max, great feedback. Tracking is important for us, but maybe we should have disabled it during Valentine's!

I love it! What a clever promotion - it'd be awesome if you could post some summary of results back to HN so we can learn from your experience.

My valentine is thousand of miles away from S.F. Is it okay to send the chocolate to myself? I promise to eat it in her honor.

Go for it!
