About two years ago, me and my partner gave ourself 48h to launch a project. We never touched it since then and the database has more than 1 gig of data by now... I guess there should be something to do with it but we never had the time and/or motivation to touch it again after that.

We still managed to get some coverage (press, tv, etc.) on that so even if it's not something really complicated, I'm still proud of it.

Too bad I didn't see this sooner - it would have made a nice simple way to keep track of the various municipal elections happening across the country at the moment.

If this could be customized for the user's location (or per account) so that the local Toronto/Calgary/Durham/Ottawa/etc election was covered this could gain huge traction.

This is great - maybe you can push it further for the next federal election?

Maybe, we had good coverage but almost no visits. I think Twitter wasn't popular enough two years ago.

But the real problem is that we aren't really motivated by politics so that the real reason why we didn't add any features yet.
