FYI - I created this simple site for myself. I use it as my homepage to get a little motivational reminder every time I open a new tab. I thought it might be useful for startup founders, entrepreneurs, freelancers, or anyone who works alone.

Looks like fortune for the web. Are you using fortune as a backend, or for quotes?

No, I had actually never heard of fortune, but I will look into it now :) I am currently just hand selecting the content and storing it in a database. Nothing fancy.

Cool. Mind sharing the list of quotes you use as a single file? :)

> I had actually never heard of fortune A long, long time ago in this galaxy, this was the first program to run when a user logged in/opened a new terminal. Not on every system of course.
