Yeh, my partner is also becoming a primary school teacher in Australia. I also noticed the duplication with lesson plans they were having when they went to do their practical components at schools. So I built a little app[1] to help her and her colleagues create lesson plans and share it with each other. No intention of monetising it, just wanted to learn some mongodb and rails with it.
Hi, thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it.
You can create as many task lists as you like, but you're right in the sense that you'll have to remember each URL you create. I have a dashboard feature in development to organise task lists you've viewed/edited/created, and I'm currently deciding whether or not that should be a paid feature.
I've changed the footer as per your advice.
That's fair enough, I understand that for generic use there are better free apps out there to use. I'm really trying to appeal to quite a specific use case, which I believe is quite common in multi-office environments. It may be quite ironic that I still use RTM in parallel for task management, as I myself do not fit in the target market for my own product!
I do know of some business who already happily pay for services like this, but you and I probably wouldn't find it as valuable.
I think an excellent way to have multiple projects would to have a set of tabs above the task list just like a browser with a plus symbol on the end. That way a single url can manage them all and it would hopefully maintain it's brilliant simplicity and intuitive-ness.
Good to see you know your target users. Maybe you can outline example use cases somewhere in the copy. It might be be enough to persuade potential customers that they need your product. =)
That's a great idea, thanks. I'm looking forward to having some spare time to concentrate on the marketing side, so when I do I'll make this a priority.
Wouldn't work. By the time the signals were processed by the digital camera, the photons would have long since slammed into your retina. You would have to literally beat the speed of light, because even just an instance of the light getting through would accomplish the task.
Even placing the sensor several feet in front of your face wouldn't help, the fasted that you'd be able to send your signal from the sensor to the glasses is exactly as long as it'd take the flash to reach you, but you'll still have the lag of the electronics.
I understand your point about a wiki. For now, I don't want to host tutorials on Mongofu. I'd prefer people to host their own tutorials on their own blogs/websites and let others know of this through Mongofu.
Your second point, "good tutorials are always relevant"; I completely agree with you there and I'll sort out a vote/rank algorithm eventually. Perhaps a moderated static page to post these "great" resources.
hey benologist, hehe yes I agree it needs more resources. Thats why i'm hoping people will post up resources. I only made the site live 12 hours ago ;)
The mongodb commmunity is quite small right now I think, i'm sure it'll grow, and the amount of resources out there will grow with it. =)
I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but if you want your site to be successful, you'll do the legwork of seeding it with the many existing blog posts about MongoDB. There are plenty of resources out there and blaming the "quite small" MongoDB community for the lack of links on your site is not really accurate.
Hi Pius, no you're not a jerk at all and that is a very valid point that you make. I havn't had the time to do that in the last 12 hours since I launched it.
Sorry, missed your last point. I agree that stack overflow and mongo wiki are great resources and I'm not trying to replace these at all.
My aim is to have people post their tutorials and articles in a more centralised place. As for the occasional MongoDB question, perhaps it is better to post at stack overflow, we'll see how things play out and what people prefer.
Anyway, this is more of a instrument for me to learn to develop and manage a website anyway. Thanks again
Personally... thank you so much for not using Stack Overflow. I find it ugly and confusing with strong established characters drowning out others.
What I really like about what you've done is the aggregation from many sources. Potentially the one true place to look for everything Mongo and to follow progress of it. The reddit/HN model applied to a specific area of knowledge and specialised... can't wait for it to get traction.
It's nice. Well done. Now just to get a load of content in there.
Hey Gary,
Yeh I agree with you on the point about not using an email, I've actually stuck that on my todo list last night after thinking about it.
As for openId and fbconnect, I have plans to implementing these later on. I just wanted to launch it and see if it'll be useful to people first and refine it.
