Zero to Beta Kicks Off
3 comments so farZero2Beta is an experiment on intense design and development of a useful web application from concept to launch in a couple of days, and release it to the public.
The experiment is inspired by the similar experiment “Matt” done by “Carosnified” in building and launching a web app in 32 hours.
With the agile development platforms like Rails and back-to-basics approach to applications, the time to design, develop and launch an application has become impressively short. Zero2Beta is a collaboration effort between Spinbits and CloudAppers, with the purpose of pushing ourselves to create from scratch in a couple of days.
It enforces the practice of coming up with a unique idea, design an application around it, deploy it and get out in the public as soon as possible. We hope that the self-imposed limitations in terms of time and resources will push us to focus on what really matters and rise above trivial decisions into working on the absolutely necessary parts needed to have something working quickly.
The first application in this experiment “App1″ will kick off tomorrow, we will announce it here on the blog and start writing the story posts of our adventure in creating it from choosing the idea till launching the project.
You can follow the twitter account @zero2beta as we will post hourly updates throughout the next couple of days, links to posts in addition to some photos and videos as well.
App1 name is “Next”, that’s all we can say now, details will start coming tomorrow… stay tuned.
