I've been working on homebrewvault.com (mostly nights) for what seems like forever. I'm just about finished with the core product and am almost ready to do some promotion. I've always followed the "Show HN" submissions because they seem to produce really valuable feedback. So before I take the plunge, I'd love to hear what you guys think. I'm also going with the "if you aren't embarrassed by your first release, you aren't releasing early enough" philosophy I first learned of here.
For a little more background: As a homebrewer of about 5 years, I was frustrated by the lack of online features in home brewing software. There is really only one software solution from a single incumbent that seems to have a virtual monopoly. It's windows only client software and very complex. My aim was to create a site that would be easy to use and allow brewers to create and store recipes online, so they could more easily share them and access them from anywhere. There are an estimated 3 million home brewers out there, so this seems like a somewhat niche market that is still big enough to benefit from some disruption and new ideas.
Feedback appreciated! Rick rick@homebrewvault.com
