Railsday 2006: We’re winners!

Fred Oliveira on October 20, 2006

Back in July three of us spent 24 hours straight developing a Ruby on Rails application for the fun of it. At the time we thought it’d be fun to create a review site where anyone could post a review for anything - and we did. And we called it “Weratestuff” (go figure, huh?). Well, after a few months of judging (unfortunately the organization faced some problems), the results came in a couple of days ago.

Weratestuff

Weratestuff took the 1st place for the best User Interface, and we’re quite happy with the outcome. We didn’t do it for the prize (even though the passes for the now past Adaptive Path User Experience Week would be awesome) but to prove that the right set of tools and people can do great things under huge constraints.

See our previous post on our railsday project from back in july.

Great! Looks like a nice site with a funny concept and a good & simple design. Is it online already?

Guys - I love your style and the WeRateStuff RailsDay06 app - When are you going to push it live or release the code behind the app?

Something to say?
