Local developer and BarCampBirmingaham veteran Harris Reynolds announced today that he is going to build a new web application in 1 week, from concept to code to completion, and launch the project at BarCampBirmingham. He will give a session where he will discuss his experience with the project.
The application will essentially be a community portal that will represent how newspapers should have responded to Craigslist years ago (for an example of what not to do see al.com). It will allow users within a metro area to buy and sell things like Clist (i.e. an online classified site), but will do so with a more of a community feel to it by including information on local events/reviews/information etc. In addition it will eventually have a modern user experience that includes a richer, more attractive interface than what is provided by Clist [1]. Version 1.0 will be targeted only at the Birmingham, AL market and will be relatively simple.
Check out his progress through the week at his project blog, SimplifyingSoftware.com.
