There are a lot of side projects listed here which made it HUGE, not just big :) To lighten it up a little: I started http://uwrobot.com which is a small niche app for finding course openings for students at UW. I started this 2 years ago, and now over 25% of the entire undergraduate population at UW uses it, and in one academic quarter registration period, it is able to pay my rent for the year.

Its definitely not big, nor huge, but its very profitable. Just some motivation for those of you out there who have little side projects that just want to make a small side income.

I'm no expert, but it seems unintuitive to have to click 'course notifier' and then 'getting started' to actually get signed up. There should be a 'Start watching courses now' link on the homepage... Most people that go to that sight probably already know what it does and are just looking to sign-up.

I hate your little slide show. I was genuinely trying to read what it said, and I couldn't come close to keep up, nor could I press 'stop'.

Dude, I'm Civ08 so I didn't get to use your app, but choosing courses was a nightmare. I'm sure my brother uses you guys. Congrats!

Just a note, I got really exited when I saw this. I go to the University of Wisconsin, which is also referred to as UW. It took me a while to find out which "UW" it is referring to. It seems the only place that mentions it is in the FAQ. Perhaps you could put "University of Washington" on your homepage?
