Snapguide

Yesterday, Heavy Bits launched Snapguide, an iPhone app for making and viewing how-to guides.

Since we’re investors in Heavy Bits (through a personal investment Michael brought into the fund), I’ve had the privilege of trying the app out for a couple weeks. It’s both brilliant and beautiful. 

The reality is that co-founder Daniel Raffel probably could have launched the app a couple months ago, but he was beyond meticulous here to make sure everything was just right. The dedication has paid off. 

There are already guides ranging from how to bottle beer to how to make origami birds to how to catch crabs (the kind you eat). The app has exposed my utter lack of expertise in being able to make anything. But now I can learn!

Lots of good coverage yesterday, I like Brit Morin’s who is an ideal user, and has already made a few great guides.
