I know there were a lot of people working on launching an app by the end of November.

Well, it's December 2, so I figure it's time for some show and tell.

How did everyone do?

Appointment Reminder launches "for real" on Monday. (A cold cost me a few days from the planned schedule.)

Well, we did not launch but had two major updates to Kaleidoscope and Versions: http://www.kaleidoscopeapp.com http://www.versionsapp.com

We're especially happy with our changeset feature for git/svn/bzr/hg: http://vimeo.com/17363481 and would love to hear feedback.

Still working on it. But I started late. It's also my first app push - I'm a "business guy" learning to code.

I'm so close! I should have something up by next week. Got a ton done, though. You know, that whole last 90% thing. I'm totally pumped, though.

I got to a working prototype on my phone.. now all that's left is getting an app icon, splash screen, adding some graphics to the UI. But the app itself already works

I am still working on mine. It'll take a few more weeks before the MVP ready to be launched. I have my landing page up at http://www.serverfabu.com/

The inspiration for this project came from the feedback I've received for my ASK HN http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1815344

I launched one. See all of the groupon deals in your town and others in one simple interface: http://www.groupongroupie.com/ I'm still working on a few kinks in the daily email list. The daily inspirational emails from 21times really helped.
