Who are you?

I'm an average joe who does web dev side projects.

Grumplr started as a side project to create a CRUD app for ranting

The idea was to let people rant their frustrations, ala Pigeonhole Q&A.

Hence the name Grumplr

Grumplr = grumpy [adjective] + grumbler [noun]

Along the way, I started to add functionality from Reddit and Bulletin Boards

There's no clear plan ahead

I'm just adding new things as I go along, I definitely haven't figured out a reasonable end point
