Our aim is just to be the easiest way to find the hottest apps. No need to browse categories etc. In this regard it's not really meant to be a index or search engine, it's just for checking if there's some cool new apps available, and participating by commenting and voting.

Most of the apps are submitted by the developers, which means you can usually get responses to feedback if you have issues. This is good, but also limits the number of apps available.

The promotion system is also designed in the way that all bad quality or spam apps are weeded out early on. Although no one has been submitting those RSS apps yet.

As far as the functionality goes, I have put a lot of effort in simple design and usability, not feature-bloat. I'll gradually add new features too when there's need. However, specific discussion&news area is coming soon to get more activity on the site.

The biggest problem indeed is the number of apps currently. Developers are submitting a few every day, but it's too slow, and not all developers know about the site. It kind of beats the purpose of the site when just few apps are added. This is also the problem which I'd hope to solve before anything else.
