Beautiful site. Maybe someone can do similar diy approach for startups.
But since I'm already using Pinspire and can post my maker pix there, I'm hard pressed to see why I would join another site.
Am I missing something?
EDIT: I also use Instructables, where I can also post details on how I made something as well as pix. But it's not as simple as just throwing a picture up on Pinspire.
Thanks all for your feedback! In fact, we're aiming at being "Pinterest meets Instructables" – knowledge porn for makers. We're in our very early stages, so the HN induced traffic surge hit us a little unaware. Also, we are working steadily on our posting and sharing features to get more instructs on the site – any feedback on that is highly appreciated!
Someone else more eloquent than I advocated that we stop using curved drop shadows... I concur: http://delvarworld.github.com/blog/2012/05/14/stop-using-cur...

So it's like a tiny section of Pinterest, but without the user base?
Ouch. Says the site is down for maintenance. Can't even take a look. Even so I don't really see the need for this site. When I launch a project I post it to my web site portfolio or blog then aggregate out to Twitter/Facebook/etc. What advantage are you offering over established publishing tools?
The idea behind todayimade is to collect and aggregate ideas for DIY projects in a very broad sense – stuff you make, sew, cook, craft, build etc., and to let people build on each other's ideas. Right now the feature set is really small, but we hope to implement stuff like "tell me more about how you made this or that" and "this inspired me to do that" in the near future.

You should store the image size ratio so you can pre-render all of your absolute positions before the images load entirely. There is a jump that happens when you reposition all of the boxes after the images load. noticed on a slow connection

As we are bootstrapping right now, things are moving slowly, but we hope in the right direction...
