What we would want to have done
Open source so it can keep growing
Lunch!
We went and picked up lunch from The America Grilled Cheese Kitchen
next to our office with the founder of GetAround.com (also in the office on a sat).
Brought the delicious lunch to the office and began to hammer away. The lemonade was verytart and full of sugar, which powered our cells for a few more hours on hight. I hade GC w/ Becan Jeff had it with Jelapenos.
What we used
Google App Engine - Platform/Framework
Espresso - Design HTML/CSS tool
White board - Old School
Textmate - Simple text editor with many plugins for development
Mac's - Great Computers
Sketchpad - Older School
Twitter and Facebook share - APIs to help get the word out
Bitly shortener api - API to Make long links small
Django/Python - More frameworks and Server side language
unfuddle.com - SVN repo and ticket/project management
thingler.com - Todo list creation
Sketching
Jeff began taking our white baord chicken scratch and putting them into more realistic, pretty, layout views so we can make sure we covered our basis
White boarding
Controlled Chaos....What do we do, what will be fun, what will be useful and helpful to people, can we do it in 24 hours?
Todo List
To help us keep track of time, major todo's etc we used thingler.com. A great easy to use site that ended up inspiring allot of MoodSwing.Me
