My New year resolution: Release an app every month (opens in new tab)

How about a "Hacker New App Status Tracker" app? Something where HN hackers can post a list of the apps they're working on, basic details, start date, expected completion date, etc. Make it searchable by username, programming language, category, etc. Have a "hall of fame" for users who complete lots of stuff, and a "hall of shame" for, well... you know.

I don't mean a project management tool, or anything that has a lot (if any) of formal value. More like something for people here to use to A. stroke their ego, B. show off to their peers, and C. (most importantly) get encouragement from their peers. Maybe have something like Facebook's "poke" button where you can poke somebody who's behind on delivering their app. :-)

Anyway... just an idea.

cnu, as I see you are the author of the post, I had a couple questions to ask you.

1. Do you ever plan to release any of the apps on the App Store?

2. Are you going to create a formal way for your blog readers to give feedback on what app to create next (e.g. poll)?

I love what you're doing and I'm going to be sure to keep track of all the apps you release. Good luck!

Um, I'm no hater. But I think making a good app is more important. So put more into one rather than a bunch.

Nothing is more beautiful than a well thought out app.

I'm already following you on Twitter and am looking forward to seeing your work. Best wishes!
