Following the One Month App
Have you ever wanted to stand over the shoulders of developers doing their work, watch the ins-and-outs of how the create a working product? You may very well get that chance (virtually) if you follow along the clear function team’s new project. The Memphis design & development shop is going to build a free business cashflow web application over the course of the next month. During that tim they plan to document the entire process via the one month app website. The first couple of posts are up, the basic intro and some discussion of the initial taskflows. With aspiration of Basecamp integration and rigid and aggressive deadline it will be exciting to see what they come up with. My gut says regardless of the product they create the exercise and documentation of the event will be a boon for these guys. Personally I’d like to see that energy go into completing and releasing reflect.
Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for posting about the One Month App. This should be an interesting month for us, and we’re excited to see where everything ends up.
That being said, I also wanted to point out that work on Reflect won’t be stopping or slowing down. We’ve got an aggressive schedule on that as well! However, Reflect is a much different beast compared to what the One Month App is going to be, so it’s gonna take a little more time to get everything finished up. So, don’t worry, it’s definitely not going on the back burner. :)
Thanks again.
Thanks for the write-up. This will certainly be an interesting month.
One of our ideas was to release another application this fall while we let Reflect simmer a bit, however the amount interest and progress that we have made with Reflect led to this more constrained idea. Reflect is in use by a number of our clients and development is still trucking along..
