Though I started with a rough idea several months ago, I did most of my work coding http://www.sparkmuse.com during November. I'm not gonna make it by the end of the month, but I'll be opening the alpha in around 2 weeks. Right now most of the coding is done, I'm just on the lookout for more content to add to the site.

I love you design... Can you share any tips for these type of designing.

I launched a cool iPad game: http://chopperdefense.com/ . Already have a few "paying customers" and even more Cydia freeloaders :) Now working on getting the word out and on a major update that would also bring it to iPhone, hopefully.

How are you tracking the Cydia freeloaders? This has been a concern of mine and I'm not sure what the best way to deal with it

I launched http://www.hackerlunch.com It lets hackers meet up with each other for lunch (and hopefully an interesting chat). You basically make a post stating when and where you are free to have lunch and others can join in. Launched it a few days ago but unfortunately haven't received much interest or feedback. I will probably release another polished version in a month and see if it gets more traction.

Might help if location was an independent field to facilitate searching for hackers in my location and to auto-suggest based on matching location.

I took it up and brainstormed a product and wrote a few blog posts up at http://WeddingBudgetBuddy.com but I haven't launched a product yet. To me building audience is key, and I've been making slow progress getting relevant traffic. I'm going to try to launch soon.

I learned loads about starting a product (as opposed to a simple project) this month and it was incredibly valuable.

There's talk of it becoming a monthly thing, which I'd love to be a part of.

Well done to all who launched!

Cool game, congrats.

How are you doing it to control the chopper? Left finger move + Right finger rotate ship?

Looks pretty addictive :)
