Show HN: I will execute a startup thinger in this thread

I'm forever looking at random objects I come across and criticizing the way they are designed. I figure that there are a lot of engineering minded folk in the world who do the same.

Yesterday I had the idea to make a website where we could get together and come up with the perfect design for everyday objects such as chopping boards, keyboards etc.

It's nearly Christmas and my head is melted from working on my real startup so I will be working on this for the next few days. I've been coding for about 6 hours in total so far. I will update my progress in this thread, a bit like a real-time weekend project.

I love your idea. The way I see it in my head is a somple dribbble-like site where users can post these "everyday" designs. Can't wait to see this live!

Cheers, Shahed

Wow, I could totally see this evolving into a great collaborative design suite.
