I created The Toolbox in about 10 hours (http://thetoolbox.cc). If you feel like a project will take more than 10 hours, I would suggest scaling your idea back.

Of course, if you have more than 10 hours available then go for it, but a lot of people never start precisely because it seems like too big a task. So I thought the 10-hour rule could be a good way to get past that.




That's a nice side project. I can see this being useful. Can I ask if the site looked this good on the very first release or have you gradually improved it since its first post 10hr release?


It pretty much looked like this, the only thing I added later was the filters and rankings.


That's cool. What are you using on the back end and how did you accomplish it being a designer?


I'm using WordPress. And just because I'm a designer doesn't mean I can't code :)
