Web App built designed and launched in 80hours (hopefully:)

This week we set out to design, build and market a web app in four days due for release on Thursday 3rd July at 18:00pm. The whole office has switched off their phone and e-mail and we’ve all involved in the process.

The app will allow users of Twitter to Tweet to multi accounts, its being built in the Django framework because it's elegant and has great Twitter API integration (and Natasha likes the name). The whole development
process is being documented in a variety of media and can be
followed on...

We know that the Matt app is not a ground breaking development in the field of web apps, this is not really the point of the exercise. This project is for all of us to truly understand the whole range of challenges involved in the process. This way we can better understand our customers, and find innovative ways to bring new and valuable content to our workshops and events.

We also hope it’ll be useful to some folks to actually see a web app being made from initial idea to launch to market.

In making the project open and as transparent as possible we hope you will identify with our efforts. It is also an opportunity to see us all in action and perhaps have a little chuckle along the way.

Let me know what you think :)
