Back in September I said that I was working on a surprise project. Well today I am happy to announce that BarDiver.com has officially launched. BarDiver.com is a community driven search site to help you find local bars that have the features and atmosphere you like.

For this first release I am keeping BarDiver.com focused on Colorado only. If that is a success and I get interest to open BarDiver.com for another city/state I will absolutely do that. So please, check out the site and if you think your area could use BarDiver.com, let me know.

BarDiver.com is built using the Django web framework. Django was instrumental in getting the site up fast. I cannot get over how great Django is to work with. I was able to use many of the goodies built into Django instead of writing them (again) myself. Some of these things are the authentication, comments, sites, flatpages and of course the admin user interface. I am really looking forward to the many cool new things that are being worked on in the seperate Django branches, such as Multiple Database Support, and Generic Authorization.

I hope you enjoy BarDiver.com
