A cute site. What it lacks in functionality it makes up for by being made by a woman. Pro-beginner-tip: Don't make social networks.

Oh cute. Condescension and sexism. The only thing this comment is missing is the classic HN trope "I almost built this, but didn't, but I'm just as accomplished as the person who did cause I almost did this."

Well, you seem like an asshole. Pro-commenting-tip: Don't shit on people's accomplishments.

Instead I'll just join with you all in never-ending self-congratulatory ecstasy. Why aren't we all in Paradise?

I really, really enjoyed the 180 websites posts. I checked this site out earlier (this week I believe?) when you shared it to HN and thought it was pretty slick. It was great to get a sort of post game review of this particular app, detailing your battles in the trenches with Backbone, Places API etc.

Really inspring stuff for anyone sitting around with the itch to throw a side project together on a rainy day. Respect.

Just curious, why do you say don't make social networks?

For the same reason I don't leave my desk, buy a prospectors pan and head to San Francisco in a wagon looking for the Gold Rush. It's very easy to look up and realize all you've done is build a ghost town.
