Day trends & best month ever

Well I know it’s not like the site gets 20,000 picks a day, but I have to say I’m really happy with how everything is coming along. The last hex month has seen some of the best traffic, we have some new and regular users (hello to you all), and what I really like is that each day almost has a theme. Some days people want to do there own thing, and that is totally cool – it often leads to the best picks – but some days you just get a feeling that everyone comes to the site and says “you know what I like where today is going, I’m going to keep with that”. It’s weird because it’s not like we have days were everyone picks green or grays, but days like today, all the colors just fit together (at least at time of writing they did .

The month as a whole has been great:

Looking forward, I’m trying to find time to add a couple of fairly simple features – comments, marking a colorsample as “I like” and maybe showing the current days picks in the picker screen so you can see how your pick works with the existing ones. And I have some clean up that is long over due – error handling, adding more to the login and profile pages and just general spring cleaning. Please bear with me, and if you have any input, advice or feature requests, either post a comment here or drop me an email at jp@hexday.com.
