Rails Rumble, Officially Over... Again, For Real This Time!
Last weekend Trevor Bramble and I competed in the Rails Rumble. Originally we had a team of 4, but two bailed on us at the last minute, so it wound up being 2 to build an application in rails in 48 hours.
What came out of it was Sluice, an alternative to Google Reader. The original intent was to build a lighter feed reader, with search capabilities, and no sidebar. Ironically, Google added those same features to Reader the day before the competition started.
Anyway, with only two of us working on it, we had to cut many of the features we had planned. Nevertheless, we got a good start on an application we've both been talking about for awhile. We'll continue to work on it over at sluice.somewhatuseful.com
Voting started today, so check out all the applications, but remember to vote for sluice!
