This is the first I've seen of this project, it looks inspirational. But how did you choose the projects? I've often wanted to do a small project just for the sake of making something nice and pretty, and improving my skills at the same time, but I can never come up with anything. All your ideas are great - but I can't imagine being able to come up with one a day for 6 months!

Also, how did the project work out time-wise? Were you working at the same time? Roughly how long did you spend on each site?

Keep up the good work!




Before I started the 180 project I made a list of every idea I could think of. Then as the project went along I was often inspired by something I came across the day before or a new concept I wanted to explore. I had a few moments where I thought I'd never have a good idea again.

I quit my job last year and have been working on the 180 websites project and now YumHacker full time. I spent on average 10 hours a day on the 180 project.
