Then get someone else to do it. Is there anyway you could automate the brewery discovery and addition process such that you could distribute the actual thought process work through something like Mechanical Turk?
It's just the first that occurs to me reading through your post. If you could offload that task to machines/other people you could focus on more value-add features, moving the project forward.
- dholowiski 15y agoFor sure... I could go the mechanical turk route, and have thought about it many times, but that is a $ investment. I could start scraping the other directories, but there is both an ethical issue there ('stealing' content?) as well as development time required to do that. It is set up right now so that anybody can add information, but without the critical mass of users that's just not happening. And that's the thing. I have no problem spending the time or money needed on this project, if it's worth it. I'm just worried that I've gotten so mentally invested in it that I can't think critically about it's future. Of course I think it's an awesome idea, but a year of essentially flat traffic seems to be telling me otherwise.
