Nice job! I just tested it out and it works great. I see you're using google app engine, I'm building a couple of apps on it and love working with. My platform of choice for sure.

Thanks! GAE is definitely a great way to get something up and running fast.

After spending a few months with RoR though I definitely am enjoying writing in Ruby more so than Python. I might try JRuby next time I do something on app engine - http://code.google.com/p/appengine-jruby/

I've jsut started using it. It would be nice if it were easy for my wife could email things to be added to my queue. (Then again, maybe that wouldn't be so nice...)

Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't thought about letting other people add stuff to your list, but it's a great idea.

congrats on the launch, it's really great for a first effort!

I also hear app engine can tolerate a fairly large amount of traffic before you have to pay, so it seems like a solid choice to start on.
