New Seasons is a simple Noir (http://webnoir.org http://webnoir.org) site that notifies users when new seasons of TV shows hit iTunes.
I made it partly because I was annoyed at having to check iTunes for new seasons of shows I like all the time, and partly because I wanted to try putting together a small but useful app in Clojure/Noir from start to finish.
I'm mostly a Python programmer and I threw this together in a few hours this week, so I'm sure there are lots of heinous things happening in the code. #Clojure on Freenode helped be clean things up a bit, but feel free to comment on GitHub and tell me if you see something wrong/ugly!
Overall I liked using Clojure and Noir for this. Some things felt clunky compared to what I usually use (Django), like implementing my own user log in and log out. I think for most normal CRUD/CMS-style sites I won't be leaving Django any time soon, but for sites that don't fit into that model as well it's pretty nice.
