Ask HN: Help me with ideas YC

So, I'm currently in school and I procrastinate a lot. Being the nerd that I am, I like seeing progress bars. I decided to combine the two and make a website/webapp that basically creates progress bars and lets you track them.

I made a rest api that would enable other applications to use it and I use it along with Git to track my progress of a goal of 500 commits to my favorite projects.

I have most of the website work done, I just need to make it look better (css noob here), and iron out the bugs.

Should I turn this idea into a public website? I was also looking for a way to pay for college and making an add/donation supported website would be a great idea.

Would you use it? Any ideas?

(If it helps, it runs off node.js and redis)
