Love your site! I've already gotten back so much useful feedback, thank you! I agree with freshlog, it would be great to converse with the person who has given the feedback.
I have built two sites so far as side projects to learn Django/Python, the first one I started is http://hatzillion.com a place to buy hats. I have some python scripts that run daily to get the latest deals on hats from different web sites (only 3 for now, more to come). The second project is http://10ThingsAbout.me inspired by a post on this site about threewords.me.
I totally agree, that's when I am most focused. I get up at 5am every day now and work on a few projects to learn Django/Python, I can get in a good 3 hours of learning/creating before getting ready and heading to the office. In the evening I have time to get in a workout then head home and relax with the family.
The site is great, like the way the companies are broken down by batch, love the profile pages. Would be great to be able to filter companies by status, like acquired, active, etc (unless I missed that?)
