The Tinder swipe mechanic for pet adoption is genuinely clever. Swiping feels low-commitment which is exactly what you want to get people browsing animals they wouldnt normally look at. How are you sourcing the shelter data?


Thanks! There are several APIs used by shelters to manage and share listings for pets that are up for adoption; right now I'm just using those.


As a parent of school-age kids, report card comments feel like such a time sink for teachers. Smart niche. How are you getting it in front of teachers -- through school admins or directly?


This is the kind of thing that sounds silly until you actually use it at a dinner party and everyone has a blast. Did you test it with real groups?


Clean execution. Whats the stack? And how did you approach the initial launch -- any traction yet?


Thanks. It's just javascript using mainly math.sin() functions, html, and css. And yeah, a few websites have installed it and a few blogs picked it up. It's been a fun little project. Open to suggestions as well!
