#72Re: Ask HN: Show me your Half Baked project
#73About two years ago, me and my partner gave ourself 48h to launch a project. We never touched it since then and the database has more than 1 gig of data by now... I guess there should be something to do with it but we never had the time and/or motivation to touch it again after that.
We still managed to get some coverage (press, tv, etc.) on that so even if it's not something really complicated, I'm still proud of it.

It's also open-source: http://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur/

o_O word!! This is what you call half-baked? /me signs up and begins using it immediately
cool. would love feedback. we haven't really 'launched' it yet as we've just too busy on other projects, and for instance when you do google analytics integration you can end up with WAY too many keywords and some weird behavior on the dashboard page...

If this could be customized for the user's location (or per account) so that the local Toronto/Calgary/Durham/Ottawa/etc election was covered this could gain huge traction.
This is great - maybe you can push it further for the next federal election?
