1. The type of project you're doing: If you're applying to a game company, then your projects better be about AI, particle effects, or gameplay related
Bonus points if what you are doing fits the job description (in terms of the language you use or what your project is about)
2. Good coding practices (formatting, documentation, readability): Nobody wants to work with a guy who writes unreadable code
As a student, I see this as a way of getting something on the resume to break the catch-22 situation of having zero experience.

You could definitely release interesting stats on what people like, particularly on how certain subjects correlate with each other.
However, after looking at the site I found the description of the service a little vague. I'm not entirely sure if "life-changing disasters" refers to things like earthquakes/tornadoes, stolen identities, or perhaps car accidents?
I basically didn't understand what you are trying to do, and all I see is an e-mail entry form which I'm hesitant to fill-in (because I don't know what I'm signing up for).
If you don't mind, may I ask how you got your initial users?
I hope you won't mind me using this concept for my next app creations.
