This looks great. I want to open hndir.com with other hackers, I'm fairly busy on another project right now but really like the idea. It's down right now, moving the host to linode.

i'm going to say that the app looks harder to build than it appears. i haven't messed much with open gl or any low-level stuff, but based on what i've heard/seen, it's pretty complex to build graphics/animation-driven apps.

i'd be curious what pg has to say about all of this. does he take the gary vaynerchuck approach and say "put your head down and crush it, it's going to be fine tomorrow" or does he think it should become part of a startup founder's thought
