Teachly - A video-chat education experiment (Rails Rumble 12)
- juretriglav 14y agoOP here. This was build over 48 hours during this year's Rumble and boy was it stressful. I went solo and it was my first Rumble. Coding for 2 days in a row with this tempo is insane. Two things would've happened if I continued like this: 1. Riches. 2. Death :) I really enjoyed the whole experience though and I'm really happy with how the app came out. I've had this idea of a chat-roulette remix with an educational theme for a really long time, and I took the Rails Rumble as an excuse to work on it really hard for a short period of time, and test the idea on a small scale. There was a lot of feature cutting, sadly, but I'll get back to work on it when the judging period is over. Thing like messages and profiles were left out, for example. But also some other, really innovative features that just can't be developed in a weekend (even though I tried). Let me know what you think :) Also, do take the Rumble at least once in your life, if you haven't yet, or try to build a finished product in a weekend. It's enlightening.
- juretriglav 14y agoSince it's a bit hard to get to the actual chat interface in the initial phases of this experiment (not enough users) and we're not allowed to build more until the judging period is over, here's a screenshot of how it looks when you do get to it: http://cl.ly/image/3e1v1q390M3Z/teachly.png http://cl.ly/image/3e1v1q390M3Z/teachly.png
