Good question. Immobilise focuses on stolen rather than lost items, and relies on contact with a participating Police force.

One of our main aims with LoseProof is to make the process of recovering a lost item quicker, easier and more convenient. We also have a low entry cost (vs. other similar products), which lets users protect items that might have a lower physical value, but immeasurable personal worth.

UK preferred, remote work considered.

We're looking for an experienced Android developer to work with our team on a project or two.

I'm an experienced android developer in London. I didn't see an email in your profile. How to get in touch?

Just dropped you an email

Please send me an email too

sensecall, shoot me an email also, please.

I don't see one on your profile :s

I think you've hit the nail on the head here. So many people here in the UK live within a few miles of some amazing independent food producers but use them rarely, if ever. That's the problem we want to solve.

We're definitely going to tighten up the message on the site to clarify why we think people should join – thanks for the feedback.

Thanks luxpir – we really appreciate the support.

Thanks for pointing that out. Terminology is certainly something we're trying hard to get right – buyer, consumer, shopper, foodie etc.

Thanks Tom. Really appreciate the feedback. We're getting a privacy policy & terms in place as we speak. We'll look into what we legally need to have on the site too.

That's a weird one. We're using Mailchimp to handle signups right now & it looked like they went down briefly just now. Should all be fixed now :)

Thanks very much. We've renamed the post to clarify what we do.

We're working on Farmly, a website & app that aims to make finding and buying from local food producers in the UK much easier:

Good take! Been thinking about it for some years.

What's your plan on handling distribution?

Thanks! Us too – it's something that we feel just hasn't been executed in the right way yet.

We're focussing first on creating a platform for local producers & consumers to connect before we tackle distribution. We've got some interesting ideas on the cards though when the time comes. Would be great to hear your thoughts on it.

I like your approach: test the market without taking risks, and learn on how locals handle it themselves.

Can't think on a better way of doing it. Distribution can kill your idea. At the same time, it's the best selling point of it. If users are buying through the website, they expect a quality deliver, which is not always easy to get, and is expensive too.

On a sidenote: let sellers express themselves. I would not buy groceries from a craigslist-sort site. I would if I can see photos, location, and know more about the product and the business ethics of the seller.

Those were exactly our thoughts.

For sure – something we really want to emphasise is the people behind the produce, their story and what makes the things they sell so good.

You've done a great job on the redesign.

Perhaps the only thing I'm unsure of is 1) the hidden tab bar at the top of the screen and 2) the somewhat ambiguous icons in the nav bar.

Thanks! The hidden nav is certainly a risk. The bumps on the bottom of the bar try to suggest it, but are very subtle. A major overhaul like this would involve some marketing efforts, and/or a NUX tutorial upon first launch. They'd lose that chunk of existing users who hate change, no matter what progress is made. I can picture the streams of tweet rage already...

Recommendations on clearer nav icons? Always seeking constructive feedback from people wiser than I.
