At my first job, I used to grind out work, staying hours past when most people went home. For me, this was the best time to actually get work done without the distractions. But I remember my project manager, who was twice my age, getting pissed off at me and telling me to go home. When I was completing tasks and sending off emails, I was just giving her more work to do that night. So that would be overperforming I think.
Great idea, but doesn't deliver. I use Spotify and sometimes I wish I could add songs into my playlist that are only on Soundcloud. I installed the app, ran several searches for songs and artists that I like, and nothing returned.
Redbox is not that bad. Yes they have a lot of crap but their selection is growing (they even have games). There are some bigger budget movies that I wanted to see but didn't feel like paying full price when it was in theaters.
Great work Tim! Can you elaborate more on some things and see if I can use your app to replace some of our current tools?
My church as a whole is actually using http://www.churchcommunitybuilder.com/ as a directory and it's not that fun to use, although some ministries within the church are more effective with it than others.
I lead the digital video & post production team at my church and we are using a mix mash of Church Community Builder, Facebook group, Google mass email thread and an ugly spreadsheet to keep track of our volunteers attendance, schedule them and communicate the serving opportunities each week. How does the attendance tracking work in your app and would it work for something like this to track volunteers and schedule them to serve?
One reason we have not moved off the CCB platform yet is they have a built in way for the church body to easily send online tithes & donations. Do you have any plans to work that in to your app?
I'm not very familiar with churchcommunitybuilder so I can't say.
As for scheduling volunteer and such, you should definitely check out Planning Center Services app (that's what I work on for my day job) - it is by far the best app for that sort of thing.
OneBody doesn't have any scheduling or giving stuff yet, sorry!
About the only thing OneBody might do for you in your situation would be to help with emailing all your volunteers. You could put them in separate "Groups" (per time, service, whatever) and then email that group at once. Then you could track attendance in that after the fact.
I'm not. To the degree famo.us is wonderful, its about page gives a misleadingly bad impression on my default mobile browser.
On my landscape iPad Air, the hamburger menu on the first link flapped state during scrolling and selection. I genuinely had no idea, when I tapped Docs, whether I'd got that or Demo. Scrolling the next page moved the content up, but also the header, while leaving the left side navigation in place.
I totally understand how our mobile site gives a poor impression.
We're aware of this, but FWIW, we haven't really spent much time on the mobile site at all given other priorities and because there really isn't much if any content on there that provides utility in a mobile use context. Most of our work at the moment is focused on Famous University (desktop only). We'll fix the mobile experience as soon as we wrap up the more pressing parts.
If you want a real world example to try out and judge us one, install the chrome app Beepe.me. Plugg.me is another app, but I don't think it's been released yet.
What I do in crawling traffic is stay in 1st gear at a steady pace and stay in the same lane to reduce the annoyance of starting & stopping so much. You'll notice that large semi trucks do this too. It really benefits everyone if more people did this.
Actually I think Webflow can be a useful tool for if you're a developer who wants to learn how to design a prototype. I struggle with visualizing a new site without a mockup or style tile for reference. Webflow's UI is intuitive - everything you do has immediate visual feedback and directly translates into clean CSS/HTML. The previews of media queries affecting content is nice too. So it's very easy to reverse engineer how to make a good design, the same way you would reverse engineer some source code.
But with that said, I am not a paying customer. When I need to make a site then I just sign up for a free trial and export the code to continue the project. Their individual plan doesn't really make sense for me and I think it's too expensive.
You do save time on daily commutes because you're not including the cost of getting stuck behind lines of dumb drivers. You don't always get to go a smooth 70mph. Going faster (even if just by 5pmh) can get you ahead of a car. That one car can make or break you, because they may be the one that forms a blockade across all lanes that inconveniences everyone behind them. If you're smooth about speeding you can use it until you're ahead of the pack, then you hit cruise control.
I speed for my own safety. 90% of the people I see driving just live in their little box, tunnel visioned directly ahead, with no situational awareness of the cars around them. I feel safer speeding ahead and creating as much space as possible than sitting inside of a block of lemmings.
