I wish it wasn't as expensive, regardless it's really cool! Great work.

If this wasn't $500 I would be all over this.

@flapitcounter, I was about to order FlapIt but than I realized that the backend is on your server (https://www.flapit.com/de/flapmenow). So let's image you're going out of business next year (and I really don't hope that for you - it's just what sometimes happens to startups) my counter is un-configurable and useless. Is there any way how I can cut any tie to your infrastructure once I own the hardware?
Dominik Schwarz
@flapitcounter I guess that's a no? Do you have any plans to change that?

This is the exact copy of http://www.smiirl.com/ ! Except they have a better design, and launched the product one year before FlapIt ...

@chloeoternaud would be nice to actually compare both product before writing this kind of comment.

I saw a similar project on Kickstarter about a year ago, but this one is really special because it uses not just a digital screen but the physical flap mechanism which is really cool. I guess I can follow and unfollow my account each second just to see how the mechanism works again and again :) Good luck, guys!

@ligoalexandr do you remember that Kickstarter by chance?
Alex Lukianov
@samsabri I can't remember now, but I will try to search for it
Elia Morling
This could be a product-crowdfunder-fit. Did you consider that?
Christophe Avignon
@tribaling we wont because the product is too b2b oriented.

Guess they are out of business ?!?

Pros:

Good and innovative idea

Cons:

Breaks very easily. No service, no contact, no support since months. No possibility to get in contact with the team. O

The yelp integration is a very good idea! I hope that all the restaurants in my neighbourhood will get this tool. Right now, I have to check manually on my phone each time before coming in a new restaurant/bar!
