As we seem to be allowing a personal bias, I'll submit my MVP - http://bugmuncher.com
I've built the minimum in order to get it live in 2 weeks. I've got a HUGE list of features to add in future, including customisation, multiple highlights, automate the subscription process, API, etc.
Hey no problem with sharing your own as far as I'm concerened. Looks like a great MVP and I'll be interested to see how your own feedback leads the direction of any future features you have planned.
The front end tool is built in JavaScript with jQuery (but it's safe to use with other JS frameworks). The website and processing side was built in PHP/CodeIgniter, running on a linode VPS.
Have you checked out the interview with Jerome Breche on Mixergy? Your product sounds a lot like what he started off building (Snap-a-Bug) and then he pivoted to start snapengage.com
It's a great story, you should check out the interview.
Please hire a professional designer to redesign your website as soon as possible and ditch this ThemeForest theme. I see it everywhere now and it looks forced.
For the record, I used the exact same theme when I launched my product, but quickly ditched it.
I actually think that design looks really good - don't forget, people that read HackerNews may be more inclined to see these sorts of themes around (as they're usually used by people just launching a product to see if there's any interest). Most users might not see the same theme that often, if at all.
I think the Hacker News people are probably the target audience for BugMuncher. But in any case, the design is fine. I'm actually impressed it was only $20.
