About MikvahMinder Print E-mail

DovieMikvahMinder was first conceived by our lead developer Tuvia, about one year after his second son Dovie was born. (See photo on right)  As with all great things MikvahMinder was inspired by Tuvia's wife, when she asked for his help as she had gotten a little rusty figuring out the different separation days. Tuvia, being the impatient person he is, after about five minutes asked the question:

Why can't a computer do this?

--Tuvia (circa 2006)

So, after much discussion with his wife and numerous trips to the bookshelf to retrieve Taharas HaMishpacha seforim as well as programming manuals, Tuvia began writing the software that became MikvahMinder.com. Tuvia soon realized that while he could write really cool computer programs, he knew next to nothing about running a business, marketing, and a whole lot of other skills which would make MikvahMinder successful.

Tuvia decided to partner up with a fine English chap from his shul called Avraham, who just happened to have extensive experience in marketing, business development, and a really cool accent to boot!   Avraham and Tuvia have been working together since June 2008 to put together the best (and only) online interactive Taharas HaMishpacha calendar to suit the needs of today's Jewish women.

Hi,
I enjoyed reviewing the site and found some of the features really amazing! However, I would like to know if it would be possible to ensure privacy by not allowing other users to see that I am signed on?

Thank you and Hatzlocha Rabba,
B

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We fully understand the extremely Tznius nature of this mitzvah, and take privacy VERY seriously. We really want to make sure that users are comfortable using MikvahMinder.com.
I changed the settings there so that you can no longer see who is on line and who the latest users are etc. The only other places where users can see a username are areas where the users voluntarily post something, like the comments or the message boards, however we do give the option that the user can post under a name other than their login name.

what's the cost? That info should be easily accessible if this is an honest site.

MikvahMinder is free for three months, then we're charging 18USD per year. We're still in the process of writing all the content pages, but we do intend to post that very clearly.

It was very interesting to find out something from the story of this site. As for me, my situation is the opposite. I can take care of marketing and running the business but I know very little in programming. Well, I've found a lot of books in it at the pdf search engine http://pdf.rapid4me.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://pdf.rapid4me.com . Well, some books are really nice but still I'm making a very slow progress. I'm like Avraham, I hope to find somebody with Tuvia's skills. And your website is really nice. You did a very nice work.
