- icco 16y agoVery cool. I wish I had heard about this before it was over.
- carbon8 16y agoIt's an annual thing, so there's always next year.
- cloudwalking 16y agoLanguage Exchange looks neat, though I don't know anything about learning foreign languages. At IO this year, Paul Graham and a bunch of other cool people talked about how interesting education via the Internet will be. And how tough it is to monetize.
- patio11 16y agoEmpowering traditional education buy slicing off a few of the hundreds of millions of hours lost to waste a year is easier. Plus, you won't get the unions trying to kill you.

- jeremymcanally 16y agoRepost this here in case the other thread dies: Some seriously nice apps in there. Really impressed by the concepts and execution. My favorites (thus far): An awesome looking iPhone game powered by a Rails app: http://warsquare.r10.railsrumble.com/ http://warsquare.r10.railsrumble.com/ AirportAtlas, find power, wi-fi, etc. in airports: http://r10.railsrumble.com/teams/team-rocketpants http://r10.railsrumble.com/teams/team-rocketpants Newspaper.ly looks like an app I had an idea for: a news reader that only shows you stuff the app thinks you would like: http://r10.railsrumble.com/teams/infinity-pool-boom-boom http://r10.railsrumble.com/teams/infinity-pool-boom-boom A co-worker's IM gateway project: http://r10.railsrumble.com/teams/this-we-can-have http://r10.railsrumble.com/teams/this-we-can-have Project management that makes sense to me: http://splendidbacon.com/ http://splendidbacon.com/ (And of course my entry - http://tldr.it http://tldr.it , a summarizer for RSS feeds and other URL's - http://r10.railsrumble.com/teams/my-other-car-is-your-face http://r10.railsrumble.com/teams/my-other-car-is-your-face)
- josegonzalez 16y agoIs it just me, or are most of the apps inaccessible?
- pjdavis 16y agoI think they're having DNS problems right now.
- chrisconley 16y agoYeah, they are. We moved our app to our own domain for the time being.
- vinhboy 16y agoWow, I am super impressed with the graphical designs of these sites. How did you guys get such a polished look in such a short time. Amazing.
- frio 16y agoI guess this explains the explosion of "48 hour" apps popping up recently and making me feel incompetent. Some very, very nice work in there, and some I'm insanely jealous someone else got to make before I did (like newspaper.ly). Thanks for this :).
- j23tom 16y agoRails will not become mainstream untill hosting services will be as cheap and popular as php.
- apl 16y agoSorry to throw a tiny little wrench, but the list reads like a well-crafted parody of modern startup culture. There's nothing truly interesting in there. Just bland reshuffling of pseudo-innovative social networking stuff. Sure, some of them look really polished. Sure, some of them might be somewhat useful. But man, the cognitive power wasted on yet another "SHARE YOUR TOP FIVE LIST", "SHARE YOUR TODOS", "SHARE" [+ something you didn't use to share]? Astounding. Now, the downvoting shall commence.
- bmcleod 16y agoMy team built a lightweight news aggregator aggregator(http://agragr.com http://agragr.com) which pops things up as they hit the front page in various places. So far I'm finding it's replaced a couple of tabs I would normally have open. The stand out project I've seen so far is probably http://desksnear.me http://desksnear.me for finding nearby desks that are available.
- steveklabnik 16y agoOne of my friends did Kensho: http://kensho.r10.railsrumble.com/ http://kensho.r10.railsrumble.com/ Click on the little about box, not only is it a website, but also an API...
