Rails Rumble with Riak and Ripple - Three Developers and a Lot of Rs
This past weekend, Bryce Kerley, David Andersen, and I had the honor of participating in Rails Rumble 2012 (of which, I am proud to say, Basho was a sponsor). This event is a 48-hour competition to design, build and deploy a web application in Ruby and Rails (or one of the other Rack-based web framework). Developing at this pace is grueling, to say the least (especially since it took place immediately after we all flew home from Ricon 2012), but also really exciting. You get the whole product cycle experience, from design to feature releases to testing and QA, all in one intense weekend.
Our application is Brainload. It's a social flashcard/memorization aid tool, which lets users create, share and review
