Show HN: Crush notifier, a weekend project
- StavrosK 16y agoAnother one?
- latch 16y agofair point. I wanted something to play with some new toys...ended up using SQS and SES..was going to do email parsing, but amazon doesn't let you validate a domain yet..so killed that off (but still learned how to do it). There's 2 differences with this project though that I think makes it a bit unique. First, it isn't tied to facebook. Second, I thought the supplying 5 names trick was kinda unique..but maybe not.
- StavrosK 16y agoAh, weekend projects are fun, and this is no exception (plus it blew up once, so...). It's just that there have been a few in the past few weeks :P
- danoprey 16y agoCute. Could use an email notification rather than having to refresh the page though!
- latch 16y agoThanks..initially i was collecting the sender's email for this reason, but I dropped it. Wanted to keep it simpler and even more anonymous...Also, I've never used Amazon's SES before...figured the less emails I send out the safer. For now, anyways.
- nightlifelover 16y agoHeh now I just crush notified some of my friends lol .. wondering about their reaction :D
- latch 16y agothe website can probably be used for evil...I was thinking you could send a crush notification to your spouse, name 5 of his/her coworkers, and see if he/she tells you about it...
- Void_ 16y agoHow is that evil. Better to end things now than get married have children and get a divorce after two years.
- beaumartinez 16y agoWhy have you called this "Crush Notifier" in the submission? It doesn't call itself that anywhere on the page. It's confusing (the original Crush Notifier[1] was on HN a few weeks ago). [1] http://www.crushnotifier.com/ http://www.crushnotifier.com/
