as someone mentioned in the blog comment, Fly Maids site is a complete copy (with redesigned homepage) of another cleaning service http://www.homeaglow.com/

@johnsalzarulo out of curiosity, try if your login works on homeaglow.com

f.e.: both logos are served from the same S3 bucket: https://s3q1w2e3.s3.amazonaws.com/brands/logos/fly_maids.png https://s3q1w2e3.s3.amazonaws.com/brands/logos/homeaglow.png

Also interesting, the homeaglow.com zendesk account (now shut down) has all its entries created by "AJ Hung" https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=site:https:%2F%2Fhomeag... (look at the cached pages).

One of the first employees of Homejoy was Daniel Hung https://twitter.com/danhung

Anyone want to tweet him and ask? :-)

This is a total nitpick, but I was actually Homejoy's first engineer. I was fired after 4 days, and then they hired Dan to replace me. This has no relevance whatsoever, I just thought I'd clarify that one bit :)

He dis say "ONE of the first" and not "the first". Unnecessary nitpick, I'll give you that...
