Weird, I saw it before it was [dead], seemed like an OK project, if a bit unpolished. I was going to make some suggestions (sort results by rating, etc).
Here's the url: http://www.notanewyorker.com/ http://www.notanewyorker.com/
One thing I would suggest to the OP: use a more descriptive title. Instead of "Are you a New Yorker?" maybe something like "Show HN: My one-day GAE project for New Yorkers".
- bmelton 16y agoI didn't see it before-hand, but I suspect that it was inspired by a recent episode of "How I Met Your Mother", in which they were debating the qualifications necessary for being a New Yorker. Because of that episode, I immediately recognized the purpose and intent of the website, though I'm certain it was far less obvious to those who didn't see it. Of interest, the criteria they came up with were: You're not a New Yorker until: - You've stolen a cab from someone who needed it more than you, - You've killed a cockroach with your bare hands - Seen Woody Allen and, - Cried on the subway, oblivious to what anyone else thinks

- symkat 16y agoYes! 20 minutes after watching that episode I conned SimCop into doing the front-end for me. I was dismayed to see that RateMyTeacher already has real websites. :) We've been rapidly reiterating the site based on the comments from the thread here (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1800422 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1800422), and other feedback. We got a rated view about 2 hours ago because everyone kept asking for it, and some UI changes. =)
- gaius 16y agoI flagged it, but I didn't realize it was someone here's pet project, I just thought it was wildly off-topic. My bad.
