I like the idea of monetizing by allowing venues to become "featured," so to speak. And while we should always keep monetization in mind as new features and enhancements are rolled out, I feel that the three of us need to step back sometime soon and really examine where we are, where we want to go, and how we're going to get there. I have seen so many amazing improvements over the past few months. I AM SERIOUSLY IMPRESSED WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU GUYS HAVE ACCOMPLISHED! Please don't take this the wrong way, I am simply feeling a bit lost due entirely to me being out of touch. Is there a good time have a Skype call with the three of us this week or next?
Sure! That was the purpose of my previous email called "roadmap" which I re-sent yesterday (have you received it?).
The thing is I always need to have the next steps in mind so that every development I make go in the right direction, that's why I am "pushing" you on the next steps.
I started to draft features in github as a space to share our ideas, shape our features, and scope them into releases.
Always ok for a Skype. I can be available between 7-8am in the morning here (2-3pm for you), at lunch time (1 hour between noon-2pm here). Also Rich if you are available during office hours and we could isolate ourselves at the office I can be available too. Anyday of the week except tomorrow.

Thanks, Christophe. We just started our crazy shopping season at Artbeads, but I should still find time soon to get on a call. I did receive the roadmap and will review for our next conversation. I hope things are going well there!

The "home" snippet (the one that first appears when you start the app or when you tap refresh) should list what's happening tonight and this week based on the program / happy hour we have on nearby places.
For example, the section would look like: Tonight - Karaoke @ Eagle bar 8pm-11pm Tonight - Drag shows @ Beatbox club 10pm-1am Friday - ... Saturday - ...
This section should be designed with care because we could monetize here. This is where businesses will be interested to have their events listed to attract people. There won't be space for everybody so if you pay a small fee (5$, 10$, with apple in-app purchase) we could make events from a given bar appear or not.
We should develop #85 first as the information listed here will be extracted from program information we have.
We should also find a way to make the "home" snippet more prominent and to be able to recall this "home" after you tapped on some places (maybe unselecting a map marker would display the home snippet instead of hiding the snippet).
