What do you think of my most recent personal project?

"Our team has a combined 25 years of programming experience"<p>Irrelevant, and wrong.<p>Take 100 people, teach them CS for 3 months, you get 25 years of programming experience. But I wouldn't want to have anything to do with their code.

The part of your personal project that I might be vaguely interested in is "what can it do for me?". The fact that it's yours, personal, latest, or that you want to know what I think aren't particularly compelling.<p>Use a better headline next time.<p>And ... answering your question having visited the page: not much.

Haha, awesome. Landing page needs a little unbootstrapping, imo. Concept is great!

Nice. Why did you make it QR-code based instead of location-based with GPS?

This is very cool.<p>Since you're asking for feedback, here's mine: Definitely add GPS as an option.<p>Maybe you can hook into Google Places or Foursquare to find the location or address. You can narrow it down to individual stalls if you want to give the user the option.<p>I know there are a lot of good reasons not to use GPS here, but it seems like having it as an option would definitely help so that people can get involved by just using the app.

OK, if british public toilets are anything to go by it is only a matter of time before this is primarily used by cottagers and gay prostitutes.

I was expecting another programming language.

Its mostly mobile based, but you can see some of the things people are posting in the all posts section.

I think this may be the first practical use of QR codes that I've seen, nice!

People have such poor toilet habits.<p>We need to focus while taking a dump instead of poking on our mobile phones, or reading.<p>We need to squat rather than sit.<p>We need to relax rather than strain.

Very nice, despite the ridiculousness of the idea, it could potentially work. The landing page needs some work though for sure. Is there an email I could reach one of you guys at?

Can you flag certain codes as not actually being a toilet stall? I may want to post one of these codes in the damp corners of a CTA train car (and other stinky locations).

Finally something to do while you're dropping a deuce (other than reading HN, of course). I don't know about a great idea, but it is a humorous one indeed. :)

There is already a site like this: twitter.

iPoo (<a href="http://www.ipoonow.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ipoonow.com/</a>) meet QR codes. Nice.
RockyMcNutsalmost 13 years ago
not useless enough.<p>slap a QR code on anything, document it, annotate it, discuss it.<p>for sure you can come up with a rev model... if people are in there too long offer Ducolax... other context-based offers and ads... let people report when stuff needs servicing

There is so much to love about this. It takes writing on the stall wall to the 21st century. It seems like an indictment of asinine status updates. It has great use of double entendras (spelling?): "Start the movement"! "Plop! The rest is history". And it totally speaks to the 12 year old boy that lives inside me.<p>I really love how you took something hilarious and immature but still made it smart and somehow witty.
