I love your idea and your homepage design! I tried and it seems a little hard to figure out what to do in each page. Maybe add more info, tips, tutorials, etc.
Right now, it is specifically designed for personal trainers to sign up and use; so it is a little bit easier for a trainer to grab-hold. However, we agree that guidance is needed and are already working on improvements within its communication.
Getting basic functionality done now. I literally thought of the idea just a couple weeks before I filled out the app so I will have a demo done before interview time, but a public beta will not release probably for at least another month or two.
I have multiple ideas in multiple stages of development, like most devs do i'm sure, however I applied with what I thought was the most promising idea that will monetize easier than others.
I am certainly passionate about my idea ... since it came to me I have done nothing but eat sleep and breathe this idea. I own a tech consulting firm by trade and have literally sent my employees out to do jobs I would usually do myself just so I could spend more time working on this project.
That is part of the reason I chose it to apply to YC. I was not "looking" for an idea to pitch to YC, but I felt I could benefit greatly from YC. In most cases when I think of a new idea I bootstrap it and work for an exit without outside investors (I've already had a decent exit in the software industry) however I felt that YC experience could
A. Help me build a network in SV where I plan on moving in the near future anyway
B. Get insight some of the greatest minds in our industry
C. Have an experience which I felt could not be matched in any bootstrapped company, because of the opportunity to meet other likeminded individuals who share my interests and passion for technology.

Still looking for a little bit of money to get that done!
Hopefully that could happen at the YC.
