Thank you in advance for the help. I just need to collect some data, the data may not even end up being presented to the client, but it is still required that I collect some data.

Thanks!



That's been in the back of my head. I'll put some priority on it.

Thanks!


Fair points. It is a bit of a weekend project, and it is really just me working on it in my spare time. Who knows, maybe it will grow into something bigger/better. Or maybe not. Either way it is just something fun to play with.

Thanks for the feedback.


Oh, and what do you think about the top wines being displayed as the root page? What would you like to see on the landing page?


Honestly, this is not my field of expertise by any means but one of the top 25 wines randomly selected with quotes, reviews and history with a simple way to cycle through other wines or see the entire list. Maybe scrape amazon + wikipedia?


Wikipedia is definitely on my list of things to do. That's a great idea for the landing page.

Thanks!


Good idea with the price column! I don't want to persist that in the database but I'll see if I can figure out a good way to handle that.


Thanks for the input. I see your point with the red/blue. I'll play with some other colors this weekend. (Visual design isn't my strong suit).


Thanks for the feedback! All three are good points. With respect to #2, what do you think about the "top x" wines for the landing page?


This is a new (just for fun) side project of mine. New features are in the pipeline, but I want to get some people using it now while it is young so that I can get some good feedback on where to go in the future. It should be pretty stable and (hopefully) free of critical bugs.

Let me know what things you’d like to see added to make it more useful. Either in the comments, or preferably on https://getsatisfaction.com/goodgrapes so I have a list of things to do :)

The idea is that you recommend wine, and then based on your tastes wines will be recommended to you. It is also a great way to keep track of wine you’ve tried and enjoyed.

In a way I’m scratching my own itch. I enjoy wine a great deal but know little about it and find the choices overwhelming. Getting recommendations seems like a great place to start exploring.

Thanks!
