My initial thought with the domain name was: "That's a rather specific thing to be selling... Side Projectors... Like creating a website selling just Dvorak Keyboards..."

At least you know exactly what you are getting.

Something in alpha, mostly. Messy code, half baked features, that kind of thing.

I could see it being valuable for people who have a hard time getting started but go like gangbusters once they have something to bang against.

I think the parent means that Side Projector sounds like some weird kind of a projector... as an optical device that projects an image onto a surface. That was my first thought.

Ah, wow, this was my side project I'd been hacking on and off for the last couple months. However I'm glad to see there's a site like this out now, and that it doesn't charge any man-in-the-middle fees. Would be especially interested to know how they beat the chicken-egg...

Yeah. I read through too quickly...

Thanks for pointing that out.
