I’m sure a lot of you are in the concept phase developing applications that work with our new API.

One thing I want you all to keep in mind is the possibility of making money by writing apps that interface with Cashboard. One of my next big projects is going to be implementing an affiliate program that pays out similar to the 37 Signals model.

Strongly consider adding account sign up to any mobile or desktop application you develop and promote.

This way, you could possibly offer your applications for free, but have a recurring stream of income by gaining a percentage of customers that you sign up and become paying customers with Cashboard.

Referrer is now a settable attribute on account, as noted here »

Set referrer to your Cashboard subdomain so we can start tracking accounts that you sign up via the API. Thanks!
