I just launched a new project aimed at helping people to do something fun and creative every day by giving them daily challenges. The goal is to promote habitual creativity by reducing the barrier to content creation and reminding users to keep at it. Everyone can see everyone else's creations and give them some encouragement with a like.<p>When designing Get Creative, I wanted something with a mobile sensibility: badged notifications reminding users to return, a very simple interface, even a predefined viewing size. But I didn't want to dive full in to iOS or Android where testing would be much harder. A Chrome Extension seemed like it could be an interesting solution so I built an extension designed to operate as a website entirely within the extension's popup window.<p>You currently can only see the site by installing the extension, but would really appreciate feedback from anyone that is willing to install. Thanks for the Feedback, HN!<p>LINK: http://get-creative.us
This is really neat! I never got into idea/creativity-a-day resources because there wasn't really any motivation or inspiration outside of my own self, and that was the hurdle I was trying to get over by using them to begin with. The ability to see how other people are thinking/solving really helps solve that.<p>I'd really enjoy seeing something like this that's oriented towards design and programming. Dribbble's "Playoffs" feature is somewhat like that, but it's generally a battle of over-designing something more than it is coming up with wholly different solutions for real world problems.
This is a very clever idea. Nice work! I wonder if anyone translates the idea to something like an intranet or something like that for a company. It could be a pretty neat idea if everyone in your company uses Chrome!
Hey, for anyone following this still, I did a quick write up on my blog:
