With the new blackout coming up, any possibility for an update for it? https://www.battleforthenet.com/july12/

I haven't looked into it at all, and I'm not sure what the state of the CloudFlare Apps pipeline is right now. Do you have any sense of the level of interest? I would be happy to help how I can if you want to take the lead on it.

Well many major companies are involved (Netflix for instance made a Tweet about this with nearly 6K retweets and 5K likes in less than 24 hours after the protest was announced) and while this is not as big, I asked on reddit if anybody knew if any scripts for the new blackout existed and it's got 14+ upvotes already in a day.

Keep in mind a big part of the SOPA protest was cause how many sites participated and it does seem like there's interest granted how many people are talking and sharing about it only a few days after they announced the blackout day.

As for me taking the lead, not sure as I have basically no coding knowledge so I wouldn't be able to do much of anything.
