Just sharing my side/art project .It's the weather, and reactions to it in GIFs! Some beautiful GIFs from some great artists, and a few pop culture reactions I thought were funny. Each GIF is in reaction to the current, and forecasted weather. You'll get a different reaction each time! I put in some Easter Eggs too! Works on both desktop and a Smartphone. Thanks for looking/feedback!

Great idea to build this into existing email workflow. It's smart when developers build on top of Gmail.. speeds adoption
Like the concept, but the onboarding asks for a lot. Why can't I just dive in and be matched up with someone randomly?

Just pre-ordered.. It's awesome looking

We use the analogy it's like Show & Tell from Kindergarten but it's a Show & Tell for new products. It puts the emphasis just as much on the creator, as it does on what you're sharing, and you can link to demos.

It's work in progress, but in the app you can subscribe to get updates on new features as we release them. We used to share news this way with our own users of our iPhone games, and thought it would be a viable platform for others to Show & Tell what they are working on.

We're building a platform to Show & Tell for makers and developers. It's not meant to replace Show HN, but re-imagines the experience on a smartphone. The idea is that Demo Day is Every Day. We put out a prototype to see how people use it, and now tailoring the experience for makers this summer http://tipcast.com/makers

Looking for feedback and willing participants!

That's a cool idea. Looks good
Looks cool. Just some feedback.. You should make your logo on your home page a bright color with a black outline. It's hard to see.
Can you enable for iOS?
Re:Show HN: crowdsourcing platform for Marketing Ideas on Tuesday February 18, 2014 @07:16AM (#7257681)
On your home page you should specify which country.. "Bring out the best marketing ideas across the U.S."

(A website is worldwide)

This is a great idea. Glad someone is pulling this together

The product sounds really useful and good, but I almost got a seizure from watching the demo video.
I think it's a good side project, but don't bet your life savings on a donation-based business model. Hope is not a good business strategy ;) Wonder if you could mine Bitcoin based on how much content is consumed for free (i.e. The more they stream movies, the more you can generate for yourself and the content creator/publisher). Just thinking out loud.
Re:Show HN: Viddme - Imgur for video on Wednesday January 15, 2014 @12:56AM (#7061888)
Nice site. Although, what's the value proposition besides being free video hosting? YouTube provides that along with millions of users.
That's a great idea. You should turn it into a messaging app. Use Spotify's API to get access to tracks, pick a GIF and and then send the gif with the music to a friend. Go back and forth!
Re:Show HN: Feeling-based movie search on Sunday January 05, 2014 @12:17AM (#7014669)
It's fast, but I agree you need to add "top" lists. People don't really know what to search for when it comes to movies, they just want someone to tell them what's good/popular. You should curate lists like "Top Action Movies", and then have the search tool as a side feature.
