The most impressive thing I find about the creator of yumhacker is that she just does what she wants to, even if she doesn't know "how" to do it she eventually figures it out. From her 180 websites to 180 days challenge, to this.

That kind of "Just F*$king Do It" attitude is so rare to find.

Thank you! Getting over the fear of failure has been a huge lesson for me in the past year.

I like the idea...but I wish the site did more. What features are you adding next?

I'm going to add more advanced filters so you can sort by things like price, category, etc. I'm also going to make a mobile optimized front end so it will be easier to use on fly. Some other thoughts I've had are adding the ability to make custom lists (i.e. My Fav Taco Joints) and promoting people who are active on the site.

It's the one trait that I've found separates entrepreneurs from everyone else. People are naturally risk averse and prone to analysis paralysis, etc.

Just practice doing shtuff. Don't let people stop you.
