As of last Wednesday the completely re-written, enhanced and now-with-super-powers Socialight is live.
We've spent several long nights getting this up on time and I'm proud to be a part of it.
With this re-write we had the chance to do everything better and the right way, with the right tools (everyone who ever had the pleasure of inheriting code knows what I'm talking about). And even though such a big rewrite may have some pitfalls I'm confident we did a good job and delivered a improved and solid platform.
Rails, Rspec, Cucumber, Git. Without these I'd certainly have had a heart attack during the last months. I like being a developer but I love being a Rails developer (I know, I know.. cheesy). My resolution for this year: contribute (more) to open source!
Back to Socialight: here is an article on Adage that, besides the unfortunate title, does a good job summarizing what we do now and why we do it.
In short: If you want to create a community around location based content, we give you a platform to do just that.
I always wanted to create a way to attach songs to the places I associate them with. Trentemoeller at Central Park. NWAQ at The Bunker. De La Soul or ATCQ at that art studio I used to hang out in my teenage days.
You can become a member and access the admin interface here, a (quiet awesome) iPhone app is in the making:
