The original idea is to build a job board targeting passionate developers in mailing lists, including news.yc (as an exception). It's not rock solid, and may fail completely, but let's see. In anyway, I'll appreciate your advices and inspirations.
If it bridges a couple of startups and hackers, then I'll feel rest and my work being valued. If better, it makes me a living, I'll go for a walk and appreciate the trees.
PS: I borrowed a couple of posts from last week's who's hiring thread to initially launch with. I shoulda mail the owners for permissions, but sorry, tell me(machese gmail com) for whatever if you feel uneasy about it.
THANK ALL of YOU for:
* bring me courage when I'd give up; * give me inspirations when I'd nearly burnout; * educate my curious brain.
Best,
I've built a news aggregator based upon pubsubhubbub, running on appengine. It's an experiment project started far away in 08', but I gave it up as I cannot see any value a simple feed aggregator could provide, and it was ugly, technically.
When later Google added new apis, like cron/queue tasks, and there is new pubsubhubbub. Then I thought: let me scratch it, and build around these new stuff. And here I am, it's technically superior now, at least.
I still see no much value here, but i'll try this time. I'm gonna aggregate startup blogs, so please suggest some. Your time appreciated.
It will be released before FIFA world cup. And the source will be open later, if you're interested.
Thanks!
