Bullshit - curation is a valuable act and you should get something for doing a good job of it.

Also, you should build a machine learning thing to up/down rank stuff based on clicks. I might be able to help with that.

Also, I want tags. More like this! Especially for stuff that I don't know much about (eg UAVs)




There are a few people telling me I should be trying to hook up some kind of money making deal with this. It's something I should seriously consider.

Doing some machine learning for the ranking would be a load of fun. If you have any ideas or want to help out with that I'd be glad to accept!

Of course you want tags. ;) I definitely agree though. There needs to be labeling or at the very least some sort of categorization.

Thanks for the feedback!


My point is that I think you are free to make money. If you can do it without compromising your sense of quality you will go very far.

Well, not necessarily tags, but I want to dive deeper in some things. You should allow that.

I like the idea of having a web page that's the opposite of sites that make me email some jackass to get a price. These are all buyable things, RIGHT NOW.

You should have a giant page of SBCs. And UAVs. And 3d printing things. And useful software. Free or otherwise! I think the iphone game Trainyard might appeal to hackers, for example...

I'm gonna order the panograph tomorrow, I think...


Good idea. I think you've got a good idea of what I'm trying to add to the site (especially with the SBCs and UAVs). Adding individual pages based on interest would be a major improvement. Apps is another great idea.

I'm considering the idea of cutting deals with retailers (or even manufacturers) if the site reaches critical mass. I mean, I'm not averse to making money. I just hadn't planned on it.


Drop me an email and I will remember to write up my ideas.


Awesome -- what's your email address?


You should be able to figure it out from my profile + google :)


Somehow I knew this was a test. LOL

I'll find it.
