Wow, its nice to see SproutRobot featured on Techcrunch. I hope it goes well for you, and I would like to see a follow-up on what kind of results you get from the Techcrunch feature.

Yeah, I'll definitely post about it. It's interesting watching the progress.

Previous discussion from the founder of SproutRobot here: http://apps.ycombinator.com/item?id=1336406

Why did you link to apps.ycombinator.com rather than news.ycombinator.com?

I just grabbed it off google, didn't notice really.

Ah, I see. I just noticed when I went to the URL that I was no longer logged in, so I checked the URL, thinking that maybe it was a phishing scheme. Of course since it was on the same domain, just a different sub-domain, I figured your url was probably trustworthy, but still a little strange.

Great UI design. It's whimsical and fun without sacrificing intuitiveness and overall usability; not an easy balance to strike.

I am curious about what it takes to get PR on Techcrunch.com for a new startup.

Jason Kincaid just emailed me out of the blue and said he was probably going to write a story about it.

All the best Jason

It takes something that's worth being written about. Connections help.

I'm guessing it had to do with the graph DHH linked to earlier today?

Actually Jason contacted me before DHH linked to me, fwiw.

Note to the founder - Just a FYI the security certificate isn't working (at least on the 19.99 program) - great ui updates btw !

Yeah, not sure why that's happening. The joys of deployment.

Congrats on the coverage Erik, hopefully awesome things come of it.

FYI, we whipped up something similar but catering for Aussie gardeners over at http://sowhappy.com.au

Fellow Aussie here, just weighing in with a thank you sir!

You're most welcome :)

Cool, nice job. :) Way to keep things simple. Good luck!

Congrats! I was really excited to see your site mentioned after reading about it last month on here. It's a great idea, and it's fantastic to see it getting some really solid coverage. Best of luck!

As a new gardener who is also writing software centered around the subject... this is awesome!

I've been pining for just such an app for a while now. Nice!

Neat!

I wonder how they handle shipping and warehouse...

Congrats on the coverage!
