10 hours seems far too short for most side projects. Maybe I'm too inexperienced as a developer, but I consider a lot of my projects to be "side" projects, and they take at least 30 hours.
I just don't see how you can create a full, well designed, functional website based off an original idea in under 10 hours.
For those that have side projects that you made in under 10 hours, could you share them?
I created The Toolbox in about 10 hours (http://thetoolbox.cc). If you feel like a project will take more than 10 hours, I would suggest scaling your idea back.
Of course, if you have more than 10 hours available then go for it, but a lot of people never start precisely because it seems like too big a task. So I thought the 10-hour rule could be a good way to get past that.
That's a nice side project. I can see this being useful. Can I ask if the site looked this good on the very first release or have you gradually improved it since its first post 10hr release?
