I think it really speaks to the impoverished startup environment in Chicago that this ends up as an un-monetized throwaway product.

In Silicon Valley an idea like this could lead to a helluva exit with backing from incubators like YC.

That's funny. I would interpet it the other way around. It doesn't say much for SV if they have to make money off of redundant little .js hacks like this. They have nothing better? That's the problem with SV. Lots of stupid money, conniving VC and no standard for what constitutes an actual business. They can take anything and spin it into a "company" just to reach a "helluva exit". What a joke. It is all going to implode.
