Can you share some links, this is very similar to something I am building with an old university buddy. FYI, we are focusing on verticals first; to conquer a large share of a small market before moving on.


This is a great update and really opens it up for a hackathon project that I wanted to extend after the event, but the security issues had meant that it was better to wait until now.

Well done James T. and the rest of the Firebase team.

http://news.thehackernews.com/474 <-- How To Communicate If The Government Obliterates The Internet


The plans in the draft bill include:

Internet service providers having to store for a year all details of online communication in the UK - such as the time, duration, originator and recipient of a communication and the location of the device from which it was made.

They would also be having to store for the first time all Britons' web browsing history and details of messages sent on social media, webmail, voice calls over the internet and gaming, in addition to emails and phone calls

Police not having to seek permission to access details of these communications, if investigating a crime

Police having to get a warrant from the home secretary to be able to see the actual content of any messages

Four bodies having access to data: the police, the Serious and Organised Crime Agency, the intelligence agencies and HM Revenue and Customs

Is this a spare time project or are you all involved in it full time?


The three of us have been working on it full time since September, having done some spare-time prototyping in the preceding months. We're now trying to secure some angel investment to help us continue building and growing, it's something we're all passionate about!
