It seems that you learned backbone along the way but if you did make an educated decision btw that and angular I'd love to know why you picked backbone over Angular. Awesome job thanks for all the great responses below too cool to read

#42Since 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
As an occasional hypochondriac, I really like this idea but I'm ridiculously squeamish when it comes to medical stuff. I'm afraid I'd keep passing out on my keyboard. :)

Something like https://www.dermio.com/ ?
Woah.. is this like Rule 34 of startups? If an idea exists, there is a startup doing it (and has a .io domain name)?

I think submitting your idea was a good idea. Maybe since she's proven she gets stuff done, she could crowdsource and crowdfund her next product.

A lot of my friends use Backbone and I poked around at it during the 180 Websites project. Despite the somewhat high learning curve for me in the beginning, Backbone felt like a natural extension of how I was already thinking about JS and frontend dev. I haven't really worked with Angular but I'd like to play around with it (and Ember) at some point.

#46I added some restaurants to the Miami, FL area. I can add a bunch more to the fort lauderdale area as well, but would be nice to get some sort of reward for participating :)

Thanks for adding restaurants! I've got a couple of ideas for rewarding active engagement. One thought I have is awarding people something like a 'Super Hackers' status and their endorsements and profiles promoted. Another idea I've been tossing around is giving people the ability to make special lists which could also be featured.

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?
You don't have to join "self-congratulatory ecstasy", but you also don't have to be a condescending dick.
Instead of making vague and shallow insults, you should try to politely explain what's wrong with OP's website.
In your 1-sentence insult, your main grudge seems to be that the website was made by a female. Your point might have been that women's work should receive equal praise (and criticism) as men's. But instead of discussing that (possibly valid) point, your sexist remark only feeds the fire (and makes you look like a dim-witted fool).
In a latter comment, your metaphor compares making social networks to gold rush. Again, possible valid point, burried behind a condescending sarcasm.
We shouldn't read between the lines to understand your point of view -- either make it POLITE and CLEAR or GTFO.

#49Why does it default to SF? This is really irksome :(

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