Ask HN: Should I take the time to create this side project?
I was wondering what some of you may think of this idea I have for a side project... In terms of actually developing it, it is very simple so I don't mind sharing it, as it's all in the execution. I'm just not sure if it's worth the time. So, the idea is this:
Allow struggling companies that sell a good, whether it be digital or tangible, to buy a plot of pixels on my site, that would link to a big discount of their product. So, a company can pay lets say, $60 to have a 30X30 banner of their logo, and that banner would link to their product, but at a discounted price. As a result, they would get more sales, and users of the site would get really good deals.
The idea is that users can "click anywhere to get a deal."
Thoughts? Is it worth looking for companies to try it out with? I think of it as the million dollar homepage meets daily deals...
thanks
