#matt - the new Carsonified app in 4 days
With everything that is going on here at Senokian with the build of Resolve RM and the ongoing day to day work with Tactile CRM, I haven’t been able to follow Carsonified’s build of their Matt application as closely as I would have liked.
I think it’s an interesting project to build an application in four days and see how it grows.
Obviously it won’t start/end in that period, they will have spent a fair amount of planning things before hand and will have to deal with ongoing support, maintenance, and development (if it is a success) of the application. But I like the process of documenting things in the same way that we are doing so here at Senokian for the build/launch of Resolve RM in our ‘Diary of yet another startup!‘.
So far they have been busy with the app, but I hope next week there will be more information on the launch, PR and marketing side of the application and how that has gone. So far they only mentioned the embargoing of content to various blogs, and Ryan getting people to digg articles. This is an area I am particularly interested in and would hope to see more about in the coming weeks.
Good work Carsonites. I hope it all falls into place. Here’s the timelapse video of one of their days work (the Carsonified website seems fairly slow at the moment):

Thanks for the write up Jake.
Really glad you found the process interesting. We will definitely be talking more about the project especially about lessons learned, why we chose Django, hosting, the PR side of it and more.
