U-Oh.me

January 15th 2011

Back 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:

The u-oh.me home page
The u-oh.me home page
Adding items on u-oh.me
Adding items on u-oh.me

And in under 10 hours we had a sweet little webapp built.

The final page of u-oh.me
The final page of u-oh.me
A simple generated email for u-oh.me
