Tijd voor een AANPASSING

Belangrijke aanpassing !

Februari, en we hebben na een aantal weken een test gehad met de openingsuren, nu blijkt dat we “beter” kunnen doen. Onderin de pagina zie je onze nieuwe openingsuren, we passen dit vandaag overal ook nog wel aan.

Een andere belangrijke verandering is het succes van onze donuts, en bij vraag en opmerkingen hebben we gezien dat we niet alleen goed onze…

There is something like HackerSchool's Thursday presentations in Malmö and I only just found out about it! @bjorn_js started* something close to it called DemoDag and tonight was the third time it ran featuring several great hacks from people in and around Malmö!

Enrique presented iColorama, an impressive photo editing app for iPad with hundreds of brushes. He built the entire app himself and has more than 20 super-active beta testers that he trusts as "product owners". They tell him what to do and he'll do it.

Vesta built a cobra using only steel wire! I still don't understand how her fingers survived that. Less (no?) programming involved, but it's always great to find inspiration from vastly different areas. She also announced her own portfolio website.

Marco demonstrated a build tool for web projects that he's been building called PoliteJS workspace. It looks impressive and his goal is to make web development even faster and easier.

Jeremy showed a visualisation of where music artists play the most around the world called Music Globe.

Babak got tired of searching job posting on various aggregate sites and often finding duplicates. With his background in machine learning he hacked a career-matching application called Careerwi.se.

Dharam wanted to explore the new APIs in HTML5, especially the web audio API, and built Clicksonified, an app that plays popular content on the Internet. Fun way to generate music (quality will depend on popularity)!

What I enjoyed about DemoDag is that you could demo anything, as long as you built it. It's a place to show stuff that works and things that you've learned.

Next time I feel that we (as a community) can be more open to incomplete hacks and leave things like "have you considered making it a product" to other great events such as StartupDojo. The value is in sharing, learning, and celebrating the joy of building things. Also, I should have prepared a demo of something!

* Björn will point out that it started in Copenhagen and he merely forked the concept and brought it across the bridge.
