Will really love to see this new django app. Django is such an amazing web dev framework, and its facebook api is so fine (I suspect this new carsonified app will go on facebook), that I’m sure the final product will be really great.

BTW, I have some years of experience on django development, if you need some help don’t hesitate to ask ;)

@cjagers It’s a very simple app so we’ll be able to do it right, don’t worry.

@Ian S – Thanks for the kind words. We thought it’d be fun to set ourselves a real challenge and see what we learn. It’ll be fun.

[...] To start off my blog properly first of all, I’m going to talk about web-apps. What are web-apps? Web-apps are normally small applications that run on the internet using online technology for example PHP or Ruby on Rails. Web-apps are normally quite interesting and Carsonified are going to release their new web-app “Matt” in a few days so here are some web-apps that I think are quite cool [...]

There’s a worrying new trend here. First we get a TV channel called Dave. Then a yoghurt called Paula. Now a web app called Matt! When will the madness end?

It’s impressive the way you do this, constantly putting yourself and the company up there in the firing line, Ryan. The upside is that the business gets great exposure, but if your efforts go wrong, or are less than impressive (you know how critical “we” can be), it could really backfire. For what one person’s opinion is worth, I really admire your approach, and clearly you have many more hits than you have misses. What’s really inspiring is that you have an idea and see it through to completion – you “execute”. To me it’s fun, fresh, innovative, and exciting, and why your newsfeed remains in my list. A big “thank you” to you and the team.
