@jsneedles I love your projects. 😃
You're always hacking on something. Why? Where does the inspiration come from?

@rrhoover Thanks Ryan! Part of the inspiration is something you said to me a little while back... which is to just get out there and build, and do it for companies you admire.
I also build things based on functionality I want (Meerkat Stats & Random Hunt)... In this case though, I didn't know I wanted Top Hunt until a viewer in my Meerkat said something like "ugh, I hate scrolling through a billion products each day, I just want to see the best" -- so I built something like that.
I'm also trying to keep pace (so far it's been 1 project per month) and improve my skills. I really learn by doing, so I worked on efficiency and a couple new features (like infinite scrolling) in this project.
