Review my weekend project: Webapp to add CSS to any website and share the result
One of my favourite HN projects in a long time.<p>You'll have to do a blog post on how you pulled it off some time.<p>Design feedback is going to be so friggin' easy from now on. If you ever begin to lose money on this, I'd love to buy a premium account or look into a subscription model.<p>(Regardless, you should look into a premium user program. Some ideas: prioritized bandwidth, custom shorturl for credit(?) such as /<user>/<shorturl>, a profile to save a history and metrics similar to URL-shortening services. No ads.<p>It'd seriously be stupid not to monetize this; I can't emphasize how much I love your concept.)<p>You could also reach out to companies looking for redesigns (or -aligns) and find a way to match them with a designer.<p>Remember to put up a link on Forrst. Heck, you could turn this into a design community by your own, where people share redesigns of sites - and you could implement a favourite and upvote system to reward the best ones. Showing users how shitty airline websites could look - not just as Adobe mock-ups - is very powerful. Set up some basic Django, include some thumbnails of each site link and implement a basic upvote and favourite system - boom, Dribbble for CSS. Scale later. Basically imitate all the monetization Kyle has done for Forrst.<p>As someone gravitating between college and no job, finding a way to prove my skills publicly is very difficult. This service would be great to leverage and would make it very easy to accomplish this feat. A premium user system could also allow people to include a pretty embed csspivot portfolio.<p>And then there's the whole let-me-show-you-what-I-can-do-for-you-application discussion[1].<p>If I were anyone on HN, I'd pitch him an offer for a banner on the site, because there's a very good chance that this blows up and goes viral. If I had a site or service to plug, I'd already have done this.
