Recently we released a new service: Numberish. It is a social and online database where you can quickly create cards to store lists, numbers, todo-lists and so on. You can create them for yourself, and you can share it with your friends. We call it the Twitter for numbers.
Numberish was initially launched with these Numberish cards:
- Anniversaries
- Calendars
- Contacts
- Numbers
- Scores
- Sliders
- Stopwatches
- Switch
- Timer
- To do
