I like this as brilliant guerrilla marketing for CodeSketch. I had honestly never heard of it before this offer. Brilliant move for CodeSketch to effectively advertise free on HN (Compete.com says ~250,000 unique monthly visitors) in order to build new loyalty for CodeSketch (Compete.com says ~10,000 unique monthly visitors).

I'd love a follow-up report in a couple months, in the style of Bingo Card Creator.

Yes - and it's the perfect match of a just-big-enough blog, and a community that supports these kinds of gestures. Either way, it's a good gesture, nobody gets hurt, and we get exposed to a cool blog like CodeSketch.

Quick update: 13 companies already submitted Apps for review. Some absolutely stunning work is sitting in my inbox right now, and I can't wait to dig in deeper.

Thanks for the kind words and I'll be sure to keep HN updated!
