"The idea gained some traction, and hmexx received over 250 emails, which were filtered down to 5 picks. Out of those 5, three were discontinued (1 after market research, 2 after failure to deliver MVP). The 2 ideas that were put online appear to be http://parametrek.com (an experimental product search) and http://www.textrep.com (an open-house notification system). Both projects as well as the experiment ended up floating somewhere on the software-graveyard, which is a shame, as the idea is great and the premises are (mostly) correct. Besides that the proposition generated a lot of community interest, which ended up being unused by the project." -- http://www.simonnouwens.com/hn/index.php/2019/03/31/init-com...
