Inspiration
Email is an incredibly powerful and influential platform, but is used a lot for Spam, what if the power of email were given back to the users?
What it does
It's a combination Email list/Social media site. You can follow people, block others and send messages out in a controlled manner, most importantly, the user is in full control of what comes in and out, and can change at any time
How I built it
It uses node.js for the back end, html5 and javascript for the client side, and python for SparkPost integration
Challenges I ran into
difficulty of explaining the power and uniqueness of a social media platform that you don't directly interface with
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
building a semi-full website with node.js, something I don't have much experience in
What I learned
node.js, asynchronous design
What's next for FamSpam
some more design work, depending on interest
