Great, now I'm excited about that "awesome next big thing".

  Can't find the post now (think it was on HN or Ars Technica a few months back) but I'm fairly certain "the next big thing" Jeff's working on is re-imagining how a web forum should work. I hope he cracks it - vbulletin and friends need to die!

    Jeff posted a question in the Programmers Symposium of the Ars Technica forum asking how the members there felt about forum software. Personally, I think the ars forum works perfectly. I can't stand newsgroups, for instance...i'd be in heaven if everything were vbulletin. But maybe Jeff has something neat up his sleave!

      Hopefully. I've been looking into options for fostering a small community around a new videogame, and I hate them all. Traditional forum software is much too heavy (registration, navigation), Vanilla is just strange, a subreddit is an inappropriate format (voting and the lack of long-term threads are a turnoff), and there's really not much else. It's something that's long overdue for a shakeup.

  I heard he was working on a to-do list app.

  I am working on www.inqzin.com, exactly the thing he opposed .
