Yeah, no, this was actually yesterday. Today I'm thinking about fungi porcini with eggs, fresh potatoes and lardo me and my wife made from the family pig.

#114I'm working on TimeBlock, a new agile work method that helps managers become leaders and help Makers to be more in flow so they get stuff done.
The method is also focused on getting Makers to be transparent once a week thereby informing Managers, in exchange Managers leaves Makers alone during the day so they get more time in flow.
Since last month we have signed two paying customers up for the app, rebuild the frontend in mvc and added a kanban board for managers to collect ideas before they are transformed into TimeBlocks.
Read more here http://timeblock.com and sign up on our launch list to learn more about the method and be the first to get access to the app.

#115I am working on using google spreadsheet / excel as the backed for e-commerce. I have built the features for magento for managing products, categories, images, mapping from simple to configurable products, configurable attributes etc. It works well for up to 10K skus. Looking to expand it to shopify and other ecommerce backends. It would be great to run the ecommerce right out of the spreadsheet (cahced of course) in…
Excel as a back end sound like a terrible idea to me. Any reason why?
Most of the clients are very used to an "Excel" like interact for their backend. I am not using excel per se, but using excel to manipulate data and seamlessly push the changes to e-commerce.
So the user uses google docs and all its rich UI to manipulate data very quickly and with the click of a button (inside google spreadsheet) the data gets pushed to the ecommerce (after validation). The status of each update is then pushed back to the spreadshet.
The goal here is to let users use their familiar UI for managing their e-commerce backend.
It was my mistake to say that I am using excel as the backend. The correct phrase is that I am using the google spreadsheet as the data manipulation UI for ecommerce and then sync-ing it to the ecommerce backend.

Checkout Google FusionTables, pretty much the same idea.
FusionTables looks awesome.
I am currently using a simple ETL wrapper for google spreadsheets and it seems to be more than enough to do the sync for limited amount of data.
This is perhaps what I need to scale it to larger data sets.
Again, I deally I will use the underlying db for e-commerce as well, so that there is only one data model.

That sounds awesome! That's one of those problems that I've had in the "Someday Maybe" bin for a long time, but I've been perpetually hoping that someone else comes up with a solution so that I can just pay them money instead of having to do it myself.

Awesome! Reading through this thread, I'm so happy to see that other people are working on things that I've had in my "Someday Maybe" list for a while. Too many cool things I'd like to have exist, and it's just wonderful that someone else is going to do it first!

#119I'm working on several site redesigns so putting my design hat back on after being neck deep in JS is always refreshing. Also working on building a community site with Telescope on Heroku. Starting to learn React. As a non-application developer, I'm looking to use this along with Ampersand to create an easy way to create static websites with it. I know, I know, this is not what its meant for, but I like to think outs…
In terms of creating a community, have you tried Postatic? http://www.postatic.com
I have not, but I will certainly check out. It seems really flexible, which is great.
