Starting is easy, shipping is hard.

I have a folder on my computer with a number of unfinished/unshipped projects. We created Sink or Ship to address the problem of following though and shipping what you started.

I love the idea and the execution! Well done. It's more of a novelty than a business but still very impressive.
Thank you! p.s: I'm the other guy who started this project.
Looks good, but should "What to make changes" be "Want to make changes"?
Did you ship on time?
Sadly no, I had to adjust the ship time. bearwithclaws is now $5 richer. But we shipped!
I just thought that people might like the idea more if 70% of their penalty went to a hacker-friendly cause (EFF or maybe charity:water).

Then it's less of a "we are going to love it so much every time you fail" feeling. More jovial and positive, less opportunist.
