I have started http://onlineqrlab.com with no clear idea in my mind (what it will do or how to monetize). I built a nice generator and I'm now improving more the interface. I would be interested in QrCode ideas as I don't have any. Does anyone think of a small, 1/2 months feasible QrCode project that can be monetized somehow (SaaS like). I'm mainly doing this for learning purposes, so I don't bother if it really work…

I was thinking about QrCode graffiti the other day. Basically, each QrCode links to a specific page and capture "engagement points" with that page (i.e. viewing the page, filling out the form, etc). Then give reward people for the engagement points they earn by posting the Qrcode places.

Then provide as a service to people employing street teams, guerilla marketing, etc.

I would definitely be in, but I can't even code yet.

What are your suggestions on going from 0 - launch by the end of November?

We will be launching http://goodsie.com in November, though it's been in development for over a year now because of various fits and starts! HN will work as a code for anyone who would like to try the beta :)

Looks very good. Would you mind doing a short list of differences or planned features between Goodsie and Shopify ?

I'd be curious to see that too. Don't be shy! :)

I've created a (publicly) shared google docs for tracking who's launching what, here's the link: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AoLJFombeWOmdFpPcVV... I've took the liberty of adding two entries, haven't add my own since I'm still developing, not sure if I can launch by November.

Give us edit access!

Sorry, I thought it was editable by default. Some people said that google docs are not really suited for this, so I nuked the doc.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

works, but can't comment there (just wanted to say hi), it's a bug or feature?

It should be ok now. FB Groups need a validation before you can comment.

I still can't
