U-Oh.me
January 15th 2011Back in September @scottopherson and I attended Web Directions held Amped - The Hacked Day Reloaded at GA Tech in Atlanta. During this event, people were split into teams and had 8 hours to design and develop a project. We later found out that some people had arrived with a team already put together and an idea already formed (which I think defeats the purpose). @scottopherson and I teamed up with @curiousjohn and @danman01 for the event.
After puttering around for a few hours on an idea that didn't pan out I recalled something that @scottopherson had done a while back. He had a few previous roommates that still owed him some money but wouldn't respond to his emails. So he built a simple web page where he listed what they owed and why and simply spammed them via Facebook and Twitter. I thought that this would make a sweet (and simple) web app.
So we went to work:
And in under 10 hours we had a sweet little webapp built.
