Notches

Writing about Notches

Overview

A portable platform for reviews.

Notches was a shared platform for reviews: one backend, a developer API, and interfaces that let reviews travel across the web. I took it full-time in 2008, and we stopped working on it in October 2009. The posts below are the clearest record of what we were trying to build and how I thought about it at the time.
