Week 15 - The Steady Ascent
First of all, let's see how far we can go with the aviation metaphors.
We've already documented some of the tweaks that we made to Gameplan, post-launch. We added a couple of other exciting new features and tweaks which we've posted on our product blog. What made our week was to see the entire French Ligue One on Gameplan (courtesy of one of our users) and we hope other users are equally ambitious!
Andy also tamed the DelayedJob beast for use with our new 'Invite All' feature and we hope to use this more on Gameplan for a lot of time-consuming tasks. Once we figured out how to write tests and features for DelayedJob, setting it on Heroku was very straightforward and we're really pleased with how we got this to work.
Last week we also met with the founders of ClearView Solutions. It was a good meeting, and it was heartening to see that they were going through some of the struggles that we went through, and we were also happy to pass along some of the lessons that we've learnt in the last three months. We wish ClearView all the best, and we definitely hope there are more bootstrapped entrepreneurs coming out of Singapore without being part of the eyeball-hunting-Web-2.0-faux-glamorous startup world and instead doing the hard graft in the quest for customers, revenues and ultimately profits.
We also got a chance to meet a potential customer, and the smoke signs are very positive. We got a good kick up the behind to build our cups/tournaments product - we'll be elaborating on this further next week, so stay tuned!
Till then, may the ascent continue.
