Challenge: Create an app in 30 days

Nice sketches of your app, I hope to have a small overview of my app up soon.

Hi! Bjorn, i have to do the app for my startup, i accept the challenge! How i start?

Hey @foxnet360

glad you are joining in on the challenge. I started the challenge yesterday and documenting it here: http://bjornholdt.me . Others are on twitter or on this forum and helping each other there.

To get started I recommend you follow the ionic installation guide and post questions on this forum. If you are stuck shoot me a mail (I am also on twitter). Would love to help you along too :smile:

I just built a semi-complex social network MVP for the startup I work for in a 40 hour sprint. It was a proof of concept as an alternative to what we currently were building but ionic allowed me to build a rather large realtime app that was almost production ready in a very short amount of time. Keep in mind I also built a restful api in node alongside it.

Ionic is ridiculously advantageous for startups and for anyone who uses the MEAN stack for rapid development. Its a perfect fit.

Good luck guys!

Good luck all, Iā€™m going to join the challenge too. Iā€™m going to build a beer judging app, since Iā€™m a a certified judge myself and could use a nice way to review the guidelines for each style. @gnomeontherun on twitter and repo will be here https://github.com/gnomeontherun/know-your-brew-app

I wrote about my own experience bringing an app from scratch to the AppStore on this forum, and expanded on it a little bit on a separate blog post. Hope it helps you guys with some insight on how it went for me! :smile:

Thanks for sharing @gx14 !

Glad to have you join us @gnomeontherun. My first idea was to develop a craft beer app, so I am glad someone is developing it! You have your first user signed up already :slight_smile:

Iā€™m a bit slack on getting started with this, currently writing up a blog post on this challenge and the app Iā€™m planning to build. See what others are doing in their blog posts is helping keep up momentum on this.

Update on my app, http://stephen-adams.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/30-day-app-challenge.html.

Just talking about the challenge itself and what the app aims to do.

I have hit a few speed bumps and challenges a long the way. My latest blog post: time, time, time explores this a bit more.

@rodneyjoyce: Your app looks great!

Well done on all those participating and keep the updates and good luck wishes coming. We all need them :slight_smile:

I found using gulp-inject helped me automate a few tasks for this challenge

Hereā€™s the post: http://bjornholdt.me/gulp-inject-and-ionic/

How is everyone elseā€™s challenge looking? You still on it? Even if you arenā€™t would love to hear an update :slight_smile:
