My idea was to postpone all your ‘wants’ about this project and focus not on extending functionality, but on marketing and growth(find new users).
Because what you have right now — is a good alpha — so it can work well for first stages.
And when you’ll attract some new users — you’ll start to understand their needs and then they’ll be your testers.
So I think another functionality is less important than users.

Many startup owners don’t like when I advising them something outside of their plans :)

Next idea was to propose to submit you to some accelerators.
They have good advisors all time so you’ll be able to test your idea on them.

So short plan is:

• fundersclub.com
• create a lot of profiles on different networks/websites
• Startup Manufactory and Matt Kuppers — talk to him
• Quora — in this network you can reach a lot of important people without problems. Can be rrrreally useful.
• Pitch Sramana Mitra — she has a pitching time each week I guess
• Join Startup Weekend
• Talk with 500 startups ambassador
• Find what working well for you
• Create informational field around you
• Founder Space + Steve Hoffman — he is awesome
• local entrepreneur parties = shit most time and you only will spend time.
• talk to 50 people in short time and you’ll be able to understand better what to do next.
• don’t give up. because you’ll fail and this is not a problem, it’s just part of a game
