Exactly. These college towns are often so small that a whole app for people to save a few bucks would most likely not be incredibly popular. Then again, I'm not much of a drinker so my point of view might be a little bit skewed on this one and the target audience might provide a genius business model. I guess we'll see.

+1 for same alma matter :)

I love this because I feel like one of the biggest problems that I can see in taking these online courses are that people think "Oh this looks cool - Let me try it out." Soon enough they forget to stay on top of the lectures and other course material because there's nobody there to force them, we just do not keep going. Out of general laziness. I'm sure these constant reminders and schedules would help many of keep on track - but adding the $10 charge really ups the motivation, nobody wants to lose money.

I'm a college student currently doing a software engineering internship - really learning a lot and working with a large .NET project.

Wish you the best of luck with the website you're working with - personal projects are always good :)

Probably cause the screenshot says "Eligible" at the top in big letters.

And it was xxxxxapp.com as the censored name.

Compare the screenshot on reddit and their front page.
