Seven days after releasing the beta version of MySnowBuddy, we cracked the 200 user milestone!!
The team met earlier this evening and we’re just thrilled with how the soft launch has turned out. We’ve taken some of the great feedback everyone provided and already started planning phase 2, and phase 3. We’ve also been [...]
The official launch is on Sunday, but we opened the gates a little early. In just a few hours we went from 0 users to 40! I can’t wait to see the next few days as we get increased exposure from blogs, newspapers, and advertisements.
Test drive the application now, become a fan, and invite [...]
Tons of events and parties going off later today, it’s exactly one year until the 2010 olympics. Super Short post, its 3am and i’ve worked all day. Just finished 80% of the help section within the fb app. More ecological footprint digging tomorrow morning, and scrambling to finish the website with app launch. Super curious [...]
First update in a week, we’ve really really really really really cranked it up. We’ve hammered off a lot of stuff, but still quite a fair bit to go. We added some images into the app and you can feel the app coming to life, it’s pretty exciting. Dying to add some more screenshots and [...]

Quick meeting this evening to plan this weeks goals and keep everyone on pace, especially with Johns departure this Wednesday. John has been working extra hard and the rideshare section is coming together nicely, good job ol bean. We’re looking to add a counting methodology to the app/site so we can keep track of all [...]
my last estimate was wrong! ride share is actually about 60% done. the following are still things needed to be implemented:
-if someone adds themselves to a ride share, the creator must “approve” this
-button for person to reserve seat
-feed creation after ride share activities (create, join, wall post?)
-invite-a-friend for ride share (only if you belong to [...]
Snow is finally back in the forecast after receiving a few weeks of unseasonable warm weather. With the fresh snow, i look forward checking out Hemlock Mountain for the first time in over 7 years. I wonder if we should add this mountain to our local radar? They have 15$ night boarding, what a great [...]
hi everyone!
quick update! the development on mysnowbuddy is active and going. i’m at about 70% complete for the ride shares. the facebook api is definitely a hurdle because of its shitty documentation, however im feeling more and more comfortable with it.
things i have left to do for rideshares:
-adding in a hook for friends [...]
Wahoo. I’m personally getting really excited for this project and decided to add this blog to keep track of all the progress we’re making on the snow buddy application. Stay tuned for updates and banter from John, Christine, and myself.
