We have been kind of low key about this project within the tech world, choosing to launch slowly to local interests in our city. We launched to Austin, TX on Feb 15th. The mobile site is at http://dealbk.com/m or you can browse to dealbk.com on a smartphone. HN community is important to me so any feedback is appreciated.
1. It seems to require 1200px width, which is pretty rare outside of the developer crowd. My road laptop, which I'm viewing your site on, maxes out at 1024px. As a result, I need to scroll horizontally to to basic things on your site.
2. The name is hard to read from the URL, impossible to remember, and just doesn't roll off the tongue at all. I'd suggest changing it to something good and memorable, since this seems like something that would get a lot of type-in traffic. As it is, people will google "deal" and not find you, since they'll never remember which two random letters followed it.
