RE: Yes there is a secret alpha!
I'm not retracting anything. My concerns are legitimate.
My "accusations," are QUESTIONS. Questions that remain unanswered that make me extremely skeptical especially when millions of dollars are involved.
Again, I am not crying scam. I said that this is sketching me out and is smelling a bit scammy (it DOES) because nobody knows anything whatsoever about who is developing this self-proclaimed $12 Million dollar business venture that is asking THIS very community for millions of dollars.
I'm practically begging to have my concerns remedied which can be done with ease, but Zappl refuses to fill me in on what their dev team is capable of. As I've said many times now, I want this project to be killer. I want to have faith in it. I was very seriously considering a large investment. You can't NOT expect people to take you with a grain of salt if they don't know who's behind the curtains . . .
Good luck to you guys, hopefully you'll work with your dev team to come out of the woodwork, instill trust in your potential investors, and get fully funded.
Despite the actions of one of these people involved in zapple.. I've been excited about the project they are developing.. a better version of @picokernel (nate) original idea... this defamation of character or whatever is what puzzles me.. maybe we can figure a resolution and/ or a better explanation.. this is news to me so I'm not entirely sure what to think about all this. The personal attacks and attacks on credibility isn't necessary from anyone.
There's no defamation of character, personal attacks, or anything of the sort. Anyone claiming that is just being silly, they probably got emotional/defensive, projects are people's "babies," so to speak. I don't hold anything against these dudes for getting mad at me for pressing them. They've most likely cooled off by now and are like "Ok, this isn't such a big deal." Stress is a bitch!
I think that the reason that, that is being perceived is due to the defensive nature of the replies. I'm not attacking. I'm inquiring. Nothing more, nothing less. All's good!
Trust me, I understand completely, I don't believe your doing any of that... I'm only trying to keep this from getting worst. They shouldn't get defensive about any of your concerns and if they do.. they should refrain from trying to make you seem like a bad guy.
I have access to the Alpha release. It is awesome. A few things that need some polishing but nothing major.
Great work @zappl, @matt-a (give it a rest). It is always good to be sceptical, but today I will have a glass of champagne for a job well done (so far).
Hurray & Champagne

@fyrstikken
I have access to it as well now. It's certainly a work in progress and definitely needs work, but that is the nature of alpha. "Rome wasn't built in a day."
Skepticism, vital questions and direct inquiries shouldn't be taken as hostile attacks, but perceived as opportunities to respond and elaborate publicly that ultimately help your venture. I wasn't expecting the reaction that I got.
I wish these dudes the best and I hope that they destroy Twitter in the end. Their success is our success. I enjoy asking the hard questions, it's important to ask them :-).
This warms my heart hearing and thank you to @zappl team for coming out with some info. The better we get along, the better we go along... and so on.
