Is it possible, in any way, to "resend" a message you really liked? As you could with a real message in the bottle? For someone else to discover it? I think I'd like that! On the same way, are messages stored anywhere? Or just sent randomly to someone already registered and then immediately deleted? If not, how to prevent spam, mass copy of the same message, etc, if yes how do you handle privacy?
Another thing is that the design kinds of puts me off. I'm not good with UI so it's hard to explain but there's too many divs of different sizes and it doesn't feel intuitive what to read and where to write. I don't know if I'm making any sense sorry !
And I think it would be nice to have a graphic connection with the term bottle? Maybe through a logo instead of just the background being a bar/pub!
The resending idea is fantastic. You could, I guess, copy the message into the send message form and click send, but I'll look into adding that as a native function to the UI as well.
The messages are stored on the server. I am a bit nervous about spam, but I plan to deal with that when it arrives. At the moment only one or two of the emails have been 'spam' (messages with only a single word in them).
I'll also look into making some sort of logo ASAP. Thanks for your feedback :)
