A little glimpse at the development team

We decided to take a few pictures of the “office” we’ve been in the past few weeks. Its our parents’ basement with 4 computers set up with the loud hum of a dehumidifier slightly drowned out by music playing from poor quality computer speakers. But anyway, here are a few pictures I took today.

Here is Andrew working on the site:

Another shot of Andrew with our post-its wall in the backdrop:

Andrew and the post its

The post its wall we started a few days ago. We decided to write an slap on the wall a post it of any accomplishment or completed task for the website. You might be able to read some of them. You should note that the purples out weight the oranges. Mine are in purple :)

Finally we have the three computers we’ve been working on. That crummy CRT monitor is what I make all the images with, so enjoy those:

Thats about it for now. We might (but probably wont) take more of these. Come back for the next update, we’re drawing closer to the release of Spotsie.com, we only have a few more landlord features to add in.

Best,
Mike

We’ve added a whole bunch of features

We can pretty much see the launch date for the site. Over the past couple weeks we’ve added a lot of user features like saving places, friends, and contacting landlords. We’ve dressed up the property pages, and got started on the tour and learn sections of the site.

Over the next week or so, we’ll be concentrating on developing a dashboard for users, finishing up the Browse Property page and search features, cleaning up some of the little details on the site, and getting started on the landlord Property Manager and Reporting tools. That should be the last leg of the race, so you can anticipate a beta release of the site sometime around the middle to end of August.

Best,
Mike
