This is really neat! I never got into idea/creativity-a-day resources because there wasn't really any motivation or inspiration outside of my own self, and that was the hurdle I was trying to get over by using them to begin with. The ability to see how other people are thinking/solving really helps solve that.

I'd really enjoy seeing something like this that's oriented towards design and programming. Dribbble's "Playoffs" feature is somewhat like that, but it's generally a battle of over-designing something more than it is coming up with wholly different solutions for real world problems.

Yeah I can definitely see this approach being aimed towards other creative endeavors, but the idea behind this is that it really is for anyone who is interested in just making things in their life. Most people contribute and create things in various facets in their lives, but then website x they become a "lurker" or a "curator". The goal here is to provide a fun outlet for that kind of creative energy regardless of your background.
Oh totally, I was just thinking about taking your same concept and applying it to more specific topics, like mental warm-ups before taking on your task list at work and what effects that would have on your work ethic, well-being and abstract thinking. :)
