We've been building this project for the last month or so and thought that the November startup sprint (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1773398) would be a great place to test it out. We've lined up great content from some of HN's best authors, like Tom Preston-Werner (mojombo), Patrick McKenzie (patio11), and George Grellas (grellas).
You know that thing about how not being embarrassed means you launched too late? Yeah, well, this isn't perfect and we know it, but we're super excited to launch it and start iterating. Please check it out and let us know what you think. We'll be releasing more features in the next few days, but today is November 1st so we wanted to get it out there.
Thanks! I know, sounds like an obvious question, but far too often, people doing mailings forget a few things.
1. Time is relative. "Tomorrow" isn't clear. I don't trust that "tomorrow" is relative to when I signed up for it (even in this case, where I knew the launch date of the site).
2. If someone signs up for a mailing list/newsletter like this, it's best if you send them the most current newsletter. When I sign up for a newsletter like this, I want to read what you are writing. So please, send me something to read.
