Ok I've got a request that you can bang out in less than a couple of hours. Can you design and task me with a problem that you'd like to see a web app for that can be done in 100 hours or so and would highlight Rails 3.0 features. I'll keep the code on github (victusfate there) and push the live version of whatever it is to heroku.
Basically I'm asking for a homework assignment that would help ramp up my rails skills and maybe be of use to the community. I worked on and helped complete a rails project between Oct '09 and March '10 but I ended up preferring Sinatra/Datamapper for light web apps. Now I'm looking to get back into Rails 3.0.
- vgurgov 16y agoHere is one idea you can use for nice rails 3 app if you have like 100 hours. LinkedIn suck. Its something from myspace age. There are multiple problems with it but its still #1 HR tool Would be cool if you can make LinkedIn-like network or just start with directory that would be great for searching and hiring best experts. Extra bonuses: Import users data from LI, Fb, etc Smart limiting contacting abilities to prevent spamming. Smart ratings for ppl based on their social impact (like hn karma, stackoverflow rating, github, etc) Mortality bonus: "Pay to pitch" feature. Instead of spending $400 to post job ads on 37signals job board, recruiter can pitch his ad to top 400 Rails developers. Developers have to reply and can donate these money to some charity of their chose. Let me know if you are interested or need more clarification with that idea
- messel 16y agoI'm interested. I'll need to slice it down for 100hours of a prototype. Let's take it to email, hit me up at messel at gmail dot com.
