This is such an awesome idea. It will be interesting to see how many themes you get. I would never have thought of making a marketplace like this because it seems too niche. But I won't be surprised if you prove me wrong!

Shameless plug: I'm trying to get a new community project going, so please consider sharing this on there - http://swym.me/




If there's a market for something, however small, it's always worth giving it a chance because you will always discover new things in the process, things that can often allow you to expand the business beyond what it already is!


Thanks Hrishi. I'm hoping the 'niche-ness' works out in my favor. And of course I'll share it!


What's the goal / point of swym?


It's mostly sharing and discovering cool projects, tools and people.

I explained some more here - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3579260

Basically, you know how people often ask on HN how did you make that? What stack did you use? It's the same thing, but the tags give you a fun way to find out about other projects built on the same technology. Plus, you might find other creative people you may not have found otherwise.


I love the idea. I think adding a description field to the project and tools pages would make it a lot more interesting.


Thanks! You can add a description to your project after you've created it. I wanted to keep the initial form as short as possible. I will add a description to the tool pages as well.


I seem to have the same problem, i browsed through the site and wasn't really sure what exactly it does or is used for.
