I let Matt know to be expecting his labels shortly. We're a marketplace for dinner parties. Think the Airbnb model applied to dining instead of lodging.


Very nice, when you can show me a prototype I'll be happy to give you some feedback.

I think AirBnB was spamming craigslist when they first started, and now their customers are doing it for them. Craigslist is free advertising. (Just a thought)


He got the sheets. He liked the personal touch of hand-writing a thank you on the receipt. Nice touch. Things like that mean a lot early on. Keep it up.

I think Airbnb is an idea to which craigslist can easily add value. Basically people were on CL looking for a place to stay or listing their place for rent so it was easy for abnb to step in and show their use case. Unfortunately people aren't typically on CL advertising their dinner party or looking for one to attend. That's not to say that CL can’t be used to our advantage in some way, it just looks a little different.

We’re rapidly developing the product now and will be rolling it out to our signed up chefs first so they can get their accounts created before official launch. We’ll probably make a temporary back-door entrance for a "Show HN" post to get some feedback. If you want, email me and I’ll keep you in the loop as we roll it out.

[edit] email is "dave" at my startup's domain.
