With the help of Parse's platform and this anypic tutorial/template I went from 'I built a simple Ruby web service once' to having created a fully customized Instagram-like service in about three months of 30% of my time spent on development. In the end, virtually everything was replaced and/or altered.

- gghootch 14y agoIt was for a frighteningly ambitious side-project initiated thanks to a great university course - http://frapp.it http://frapp.it Unfortunately, due to time constraints we went the built first, talk to mentors etcetera and only then do actual diligent market research route. Everyone we've spoken to recognizes some value in the project and came up with different USPs. As a result, focus shifted dramatically in a matter of weeks, ultimately leading to a complete lack of focus and loss of a common goal. This week we re-evaluated it all, decided to work out these wrinkles in the coming weeks and start selling aggressively to a narrow collection of potential customers. When all is said and done, I expect the iOS app will be shelved. Did learn a lot about iOS development, though :D!
