Interesting work, have you thought about sending a photo to multiple folks at the same time?
Good job Nik!
I really like the Twitter profiles, definitely saves a lot of time. How do you plan to scale this service, as the quality of abstracts obviously depends on high quality contributors? What is in it for them?
seems that HN won't allow him post more so he messaged me the answer:

--- yeah its funny, the first time i tried to make this was long time ago, here is the video 3 years old: https://vimeo.com/42313987

The idea was pretty spontaneous. I saw CZferro toys online and wanted to play with it so much. I ordered one and played with it and after a while i was thinking why couldnt this be something concrete. I loved the idea of translating something thats abstract in a visual sense to a concrete thing and back.

After that a clock came as a logical object, since it changes non stop.

there's a youtube link up there
Supposedly he felt like he needs to build something with ferrofluid the first time he saw that. There is a video of his first experiment somewhere, where the liquid was way less good looking but he managed to "fix" it over time and actually build the clock

Completely agree with this one. Everybody wants to change the world, and they can't stop talking about it. All of these platforms started naively, they wanted to be popular, but no one knew how big they are going to become..
