This will be a winner because: 1) Targets women, so leverages 50% of patio11's awesome advice. 2) Unlike the similar product I'm working on, solves the huge problem of content creation.

forgive me for my lack of knowledge of HN lore, but what was the advice? (a link/keywords for searching would be good :)

There's this user, patio11, I think he's in the top 5 karma here, and his schtick might be summed up as:

1) A/B Test 2) Middle aged women are tremendously underserved in the software market, and not because they don't buy software.

On my Mac, Safari & Firefox, the "Shop" links on the front page do nothing. Also not sure why the links there aren't seasonal -- the Christmas Cards link is useless, but a Valentine's Day link would be useful.

sorry about that! The shop isn't active so those links are empty links. Right now it's all voting and submissions :)

It may be a good idea to let the user know that if they click the links.

This is a slight tangent, but my dream service - and sadly I'm only half joking - would be:

* Enter in a list of all those family members I'm obliged to send birthday and Christmas cards to, including some basic demographic info

* Upload an image of my handwriting

* I'm reminded at the appropriate times to pick from a filtered selection of cards and enter a personalised message

* Printed & sent (bonus points: handwriting looks real)

Someone build this please!
