It's great and congratulations for your accomplishment! 1 question though, are you planning to make money out of it? If so how? Because I too am a beginner developer, learnt and made a website all by myself www.gccfishing.com and I was looking for ideas on how to create income from it.

Thank you! My focus for YumHacker right now is for people to try it out and figure out how to make it better.

Since you are into making random websites I have one.

SkinProblem.com

Let users upload pictures of there insect bites, infections,... Make them categorize their problem by race/skin color, location, time of the picture since the bite, Source expert opinion on cause of problem List treatment options

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.

What are your thoughts on how to attract users to your projects?

I actually looked for this the other day, and even took pictures of this weird rash I had on my hand for when I found the right place to upload them. I never found that place, and I still have these weird photos on my phone.

That's the next thing I get to explore and I'll definitely be asking for plenty of advice. One thing I plan to do is go out and talk to people who love exploring new restaurants. Bloggers, critics, chefs and just people who generally love food. I'm also thinking about different features that could help provide value while the site is still small, such as custom lists. But mostly, I expect it will be a lot of trial and error.
