swapsend.com:

This was going to be a file sharing service for businesses like design consultancies, it would enable them to Swap files with their clients and Send files to others.

designdown.com:

This has been planned for many things, a blog about design and UX, the over arching name of a group of other websites, a web design and development consultancy.

projectaur.com:

This was going to be a project management tool for engineering and design firms, using the idea of issue trackers from software development and applying it to physical product development.

flutterbox.com:

This is the project I have gotten furthest with, it was back in about 2007 I think, it was a social news aggregator along the same sort of lines a friendfeed.com. I actually launched this one but never attracted many users. I think I finally shut it down in about 2010.

cloudjs.co.uk (I thought I had the dot com but don’t seem to any more):

This was going to be what we now call a “platform as a service “, it never got further than me buying the domain name and researching SpiderMonkey (this was before V8).

If you are interested in any of them let me know, email is in my profile.



I actually remember coming across flutterbox & seeing it as a "track what your friends are up to" type service.

IIRC it was built in Django & supported about 10-11 services inc. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Digg etc


Wow, so few people ever used it im suppressed you remember it. You are correct, it was built with Django and did support about 10 services.

The mejor flaw with the service was that you needed to get all you friends signed up to it as well in order to get them to enter all their accounts.

It was fun to make and I lernt allot building it...
