I say drop all of the 'Ever/Evernote' references/nomenclature asap, unless this is just a side project or experiment with no plans to become a business.

Invite page needs more description, I can't really tell exactly what it's supposed to do (I'm not familiar enough with Evernote to make a connection

I also recommend using http://betali.st/ to get some early interest.



Thanks for valuable advices.

I've already utilized http://betali.st/ but it takes time. Hope to be listed before Alpha :)

RE more description - maybe you are right. We are in "stealth" mode now and explain everything on person. For Alpha we are working on complete landing and tour pages.

RE using "Ever" word. This is interesting point. It is coming from "everyhour". What difficulties you think we could face?


> ...This is interesting point. It is coming from "everyhour". What difficulties you think we could face?

IANAL but... If it's coming from "every hour" then go with that. You reference the Evernote inspiration in your description above, the tagline on the site is "Evernote for time", etc. Saying 'it's evernote for time' is great for elevator pitches, less so for product wording. But because the product is called "Everhour", I'd either a) start looking for a new name or b) pretend (at least in public) that I never even heard of Evernote. If not, at best you'd be labeled as a copycat, at worst, face some legal issues for encroaching on their trademark[1].

Thanks again for great advice and valuable reference. We will have a look and make sure we do not violate any rights.
