I made Sideshow because: 1) I always wanted to start a daily digest/newsletter of some kind and I'm super passionate about side projects. 2) I wanted to learn more about JavaScript, Node.js and Redis. And there it is. It's built with ~300 lines of code of Node.js + Express + Redis, has an admin area to manage links (I called it 'Backstage'[1]) and MailChimp API integration for automated newsletter sending (both daily and weekly).

(I'm on week 3-4) - Node.js: http://www.nodebeginner.org/ http://www.nodebeginner.org/ - Express (and Redis): http://javascriptplayground.com/blog/2012/06/node-express-todo-app-redis http://javascriptplayground.com/blog/2012/06/node-express-to... P.S: Notice that there weren't any sexy AJAX stuff on the site. It's because I haven't learned one of those front-end MVC framework yet (Backbone/Angular/Ember), which should be my priority this week.
