You say that you took a year to learn RoR and Objective-C for this, but can I ask: were you starting from scratch as a programmer and was this a full-time project (or were you balancing your learning and development alongside having another job)?

Congrats on the launch! Both the app and the website look beautiful.

Thanks!

I basically started from just Excel/VBA and a little bit of .NET.

Initially, I was doing this along with another project, but during the second half, it was full-time.
