#13There are some polished looking projects there, how did they ensure that all of the work was done in 48 hours?
there's no restriction on paper planning so i'm guessing the top sites probably spent weeks on design and specing. whether or not they created photoshop comps probably doesnt matter

they monitor the github repositories. relatively easy to find people who blatantly cheat by doing implementation beforehand there's no restriction on paper planning so i'm guessing the top sites probably spent weeks on design and specing. whether or not they created photoshop comps probably doesnt matter

#17We also got an app built and deployed, a simple little game: http://marryboffkill.com
The whole time I expected that it would be the smoothing-over of rough edges, double-checking, and doing general "cleanup" that would take the most time, but even so was surprised how quickly the deadline snuck up on us the last day.
I have a feeling if the rumble was over a long weekend instead we would have been able to clean up all the rough edges, but I have a feeling there are many other teams in this boat as well. :-)
Was definitely a great way to spend a weekend (creating something) with friends and a real learning experience. I'm already excited to do it again next year.

#18I was really happy with where we were with ours: http://mocksup.r09.railsrumble.com/ Until a couple last minute changes by me unknowingly broke our main feature, which is adding links to mockups. Dammit. But, it was really fun and a great way to get started on an app idea.
I look very forward to using this.
