Mind blowing! Last night I thought of building the same thing with user submitted content. But, I was going to use the domain motivation.io (as in input/output).
Great minds think alike, I suppose :)

#22Does any know if there are any scripts/css around that could help me create something like this? I'm more of a tinkerer than a coder
I was just thinking a hackernews userscript that tossed these up somewhere in the layout might be good, given the audience. The core of it's just picking a random quote from an array so it should be simple. You could select lines or quotes from users and add them to the queue with LocalStorage or something. I am now apparently working on this...
haha look forward to seeing it! Letme know when you get it up and running @mutlu82

The background images are user submitted, but we limit to 400kB to keep a good quality, these are photographers after all ;)

#28I like the colours - how do you come up with colours that look stylish like these, but aren't garish or crude?
These colors are from Greatist's Brand Guidelines!

Since it looks like this is going to take a while (long long long after anyone will care), here's where I am now:

All it does is take a random quote from the array and stick it in an extra table row, and there's a link that alerts text selected by the mouse (which is currently pointless) and I need to do all the localstorage stuff but yeah.
