Whenever I see a new service launched with such a gross misspelling as "fowndr" to "founder", I cringe and place it in my mental "doomed" bin. Wouldn't this service be better off with a longer name or different TLD, e.g. "startupfounders.com" or "founded.co"? Is there any evidence for startup success based on a misspelled name?
I don't want to knock the community, but I can't stomach the spelling barrier each and every time I would like to tell a fellow founder about his community. "Just go to founder dot com! What? Oh yeah, that's oh, en, double-u, um. Yeah, and drop the e. Not loading? Nevermind, I'll email you the link tomorrow, or never."
Cool. Just signed up.<p>What's the tech stack for the site? Seems to be loading discussions quite slowly, which is worrying since it doesn't seem particularly busy at the moment. Might want to work on that, since it's a bit distracting (and distracting is the last thing you want when you're trying to get off the ground.)<p>I hope this takes off. It'd be nice to have a second place to go when the Apple news and Vim/Emacs debates take over the homepage here.
How is it compared to StartupGuild (<a href="http://startupguild.net/" rel="nofollow">http://startupguild.net/</a>)?<p>EDIT: Just opened it, have another question: How is it compared to Ask/Show HN?
