There is a demo running here:

Bonus points for the use of a placekitten!

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm not collecting any login info, it's just a demo of the application. If you want to use the app you can:

1) Use a fake (but compliant) e-mail address 2) Use a "throwaway" email-address

I'm not sending any confirmations, and the DB is going to go to /dev/null.

Sure, I guess I just thought it was funny that you could get a bunch of tech-savvy people to give you their email addresses. I don't think you will use them, but there's no particular reason to trust you, either.
I like this sort of thing, and was having trouble finding something to use a few weeks back. (I remembered a post from launchrock but I couldn't remember what they were called!)

"One problem, though, is that I would have to sign up for each project and then promote the links."

How is yours different? Sorry, I looked at your demo and re-read your post but I still couldn't figure that out.

Sorry, let me clarify that. Launchrock is operating on an "invite" basis themselves (a meta-startup). This means that for every time I would want to use them, I have to sign up and start retweeting their viral link.

This is different because it's an open sourced RoR application which you can deploy and begin using immediately.

Ohh I see. That's awesome, thank you very much! I'm more of a Python guy but I might just use this for my next project anyways - I'll be sure to let you know.
