Beautiful app! It was a no-brainer setup and just worked! It so happened, I was listening to spotify while installing this app and it automatically pulled images and built a nostalgic video for me from the pictures I had stored! Just for that feature alone, I would use it. May be you can think about "centering" pictures and avoid zooming into dull areas etc.
But great inspiring job! Congrats!
In 48 hours ? That's very cool! I like the fact that it is minimally good looking website!
I can very well empathize with you. I still don't have anything to "show", but am slowly making progress. Baby steps. I started with little bit of javascript and went onto node.js and then setup mongodb. The setup HTML5 + mongodb + node.js is a fertile playground to get few projects complete.
Looks cool! How do you compare against say craigslist ?
Nicely done! Was this a full time effort ? Please do come back and share how it is doing.
great share!
Absolutely crazy ! That was a harmless joke gone wrong. Sorry mate.
Sad sad story. Amazing viz that made an immediate impact on the story.
Very impressive what you built in such a small timeframe. Keep it up!
Looks nice! I like it!
If you could put more pictures on each refresh, it would be more engaging I think. Also it feel slow.
Nicely done and Good luck!
Those decimals are distracting and dont seem to have any purpose at this scale. Also it may be easier if you just put the $s in millions.
I tried on my iPad, but don't hear anything.
fuzzypickle: The most successful companies in the trading business are the one's who don't trade! For example, thestreet.com makes most money with their recommendation systems (doubt if they even make a penny with their own trades). So if you are thinking of aggregating things and providing a service, it is a good idea - but if you are thinking of using it to your own algorithmic trading, it may be an overkill. Remember the trading world has some of the smartest people (doing machine learning, statistics etc) and you are competing with them in the zero-sum-game.
Also as full disclosure, I have setup a fully automated algorithmic trading (using IQFeed for realtime feed + IBAPI), but it wasn't HFT - but medium frequency intraday. I shut it down because it wasn't profitable. But if you are thinking algorithmic trading, you need to get into machine learning and statistics space (most of the info is just noise in this space). I have myself thought about the aggregation as a service, but never got around doing anything in that direction and would love to chat if interested.
It is minimalistic and that's great! You say it is P2P, so would I end up paying for someone else's traffic like torrents ? I didn't see anything in the settings though.
I respect you for the fact that you never fudged your profile. I have seen many fellow Indians who do it and "somehow" make it. Sorry, I personally don't have any useful experience to offer though.
Web development is definitely in my interest area (because the closest I came was 15 years back in HTML!). Thanks for the response.
Thanks tzaman. Your second point makes me feel good already :)
lol! funny, but you drive home the point. I guess I am confused because I have many ideas (for example, iphone apps that keeps popping in my head, or a web educational app etc). Hindsight, I did the post in a hurry.
Thank you all for the valuable suggestions. I will be building 2 pages..

Hungry is the problem and eating is the solution. You are solving the problem, so I would go along the lines of eating.
OK. Thanks. I am beginning to lean towards 2.
Video resume sounds like a great idea! Thanks for the response.
Thanks jseims. I will take a look. Most likely I will revisit the thread once I have done more homework
Flash could be a problem. More than phone, I think iPad may have an issue.
