The shell environment is good stuff.
I wish there was some kind of search for files in the ui.
Added bonus would have been integration with files and the command interface.
Props to finding inspiration in Kung Fu Hustle.
It would be great to create your own rooms. Having a single public room can get a little chaotic.
I wish there was a way to snapshot the canvas and save them to some browsable list.
Would have liked to see the color selection show the color instead of all choices being orange.

contestantWe'll update this ap soon, thanks a lot.

contestantYour advises are invaluable.
Interesting concept. It would be great if the user that submitted the todo could get a notification when the task is complete.
petrbela
contestantThanks! Yes, that feature is on our plan :)
The syllable counter is pretty slick.
It would have been cool to see some voting component. Even if it was as simple as tracking page views for each poem.
aashay
contestantThanks for the vote!
We discussed a couple of voting/scoring mechanisms but we couldn't settle on one that didn't feel competitive. I think we might try to do a "likes" kinda thing later.
Insanely ambitious for 48hrs.
Great work. Works as advised.
Love that your hacking images for content.
Wish there was a bit more integration with Letterpress. Or some kind of stats dashboard about all uploads/ transformations.

contestantThank you for the review and idea for dashboards and stats, definitely going to look into that.
Just curious two stars for Completeness because the app lacks better integration with Letterpress? :)

While I think image scraping is cool, this particular application (Letterpress) is kinda obscure. I would have liked to have seen a quick faq on the home page and maybe a quick example with an image for people that don't have the app. I know these things are small but even a link to Letterpress on the app store would improve users first impression dramatically.

I see. Somehow I've got impression that al the traffic to the entry would do thru this page, where we have video (where I show how it works) + step-by-step instructions what to do. And when I realized that entries page links directly to the app's page, it was to late to update the code.
Thank you for the clarification.
Really like the completion of the app. When a round is over the score board and the links to the videos is a nice touch.
Swallow looks pretty impressive. With that said I don't see much innovation beyond the swallow app.
Some pretty impressive features and documentation. Inside of swallow it would be great to see some of the ui/ux simplify. It is a little overwhelming and feels a tad cluttered.
hugow
contestantThanks. Nko was an occasion for us to integrate swallow into a web based 'studio' project (since swallow itself essentially works on a developer's pc and is, in its current form, more geared towards developing components than web pages). We wanted some feedfback on this web based integration (GuloStudio).
The goal of the project is to let designers be self sufficient and be able to develop complete any web project (restaurant sites, online shops, etc) that is not fundamentally based on custom code.
Thanks again, and I wish I could be coding in the rockies too Hugo
ps. I'll probably be in whistler, for snowboarding, later this year

Now your making me jealous. Whister has to be one of the greatest places to go.
I really like the ambition of this project. I will continue to keep an eye on it. I have hacked on this problem a few times and work with many designers. My current feedback is while all the options are great it is probably overwhelming for a designer, especially when being introduced to the project. Try to find ways to minimize, simplify or at least hide to help ease the learning curve.
P.S. updated bio

Thanks (+ I know I really have to focus on what you say: ease of use, better user experience etc).
I'll keep hacking on this full time at least until christmas. After that I'll reavaluate things (i.e. make money again! :))
Your feedback will always be more than welcome!
Nice use of the accelerometer. I like the concept of screen and controller.
It would be nice if there was some kind of reward / level up for protecting the sun for 'x' minutes or killing 'x' attackers.
Nice visual. Leaves me wanting more exploratory features. Like diffs between versions.
Design is great from the intro video, to the way the votes are handled inside the app.
The requirement for 8 players limits the replay value. Maybe some basic ai?
It appears there is a bug when you have two players with the same name enter a room. The actions target both instead of treating them as different users.
I like the usage of the dropbox api. The streaming of video is added bonus.
It would be nice to view photos too.
I like the design of the faq but the general file viewer is lacking some refinement.
This is great!
I really like the completeness of this project. Working demo w/o install and the "?" for keyboard shortcuts are great usability choices.
The ability to pause and examine code and chat with another user make this a powerful tool.
It would be nice to see some security settings added.
itay
contestantNathan - thanks for the feedback!
We actually wish we did more usability things. For example, we forgot to tell people they can do "!help" to get all the commands!
In terms of security, you're absolutely right. We want to add some settings to allow only people with certain passwords to access the debugger, that way you can feel comfortable using the debugger.
Another note is that you could deploy all of this on a local server and have it running that way, in case you didn't want to expose it to the world!
Some nice polish in the UI. The game play is decent, could be a fun game in a classroom setting.
It would be nice to have some basic instructions or an explanation of the point system on the landing page. I still don't understand how the points work.
Impressed by the creativity and polish of this entry. I enjoyed the attention to detail like "you win" or "game over" in lights and having a high score board.
Would be great to be able to choose the bpm or synth sound.
Nice job.
