It may be also correlated with the habit of drinking "hot" water.

I was trying to figure out an affordable way to send "Read Later" articles in voice to mobile device, either as podcast or other format, to keep myself relevant while driving to/from office.
I realized this tool might not be cheap, since it may take the voice actor/actress 2 hours per day to produce my content (2-hour driving commuting per day for me). To get familiar local accent, it costs ~$36 in Australia, and maybe slightly cheaper for US accent. The value it brings me can hardly justify the cost.
Now, with Polly, things changed - it produces reasonable voice, and 2-hour content would only cost ~$0.3. I decided to launch my service as soon as Instapaper approves my API request.
At the same time, put your email here: http://readlater.launchrock.co/

laravel 5.1 (LTS) requires PHP 5.5.9+ [1]. I don't think this version would be widely available on those "low-end budget share hosting" environments.
On the other hand, deploy a RoR project is relatively simple with Heroku's "heroku button" [2].

This is awesome.
> Create a single or multi-user business account, approve orders
This alone is a killing point. If all the orders to the same company (location) are aggregated and shipped based on a predefined schedule (like every Monday).
And with this, pantry can be filled with food that people actually want.

It's Easter break in Australia - 4 days weekend.
I'm working on http://www.hackathonwatch.com It's a hackathon discovery site - it helps you discover new hackathons.
I've been working on it for several months, but did not really get a chance to add "watch/monitor" feature.

Did it work out (or not)?

there are also a few geo-location startup listings,
The issue is these startup listings are attracting founders and potential investors (and advertisers of course), just not sure if they are the place for your target audience.
Like if you are selling super-awesome soaps target house-wives, why are you seeking listing from crunchbase.com then.
