At 500,000 users, The Fancy making more money than Pinterest's 20 million (gigaom.com)

After reading the article twice I'm not sure where the title comes from since that claim is never made.

Also not sure why The Fancy is touted as a David to Pinterest' goliath. The Fancy has 18M in funding from Andreesen Horowitz and has a pretty darn stellar board (Jack Dorsey, Chris Hughes, etc).


Yup, that pissed me off. $18 million is a warchest. I wanna hear about the dude who bootstrapped it to 500,000 users while working on a day job.


Way to linkbait that post title. Revenue from either company isn't mentioned in the article.


The light switch as a key holder is an interesting idea. But I think the keys would scrape against the wall over time.


Anyone managed to get pass Fancy's signup? At 18M funding, why nothing happens when I press the signup button?
