TinyApps (not to be confused with TinyApps.com, totally not our project) sprung out of a simple observation:

People invest HUGE amounts of time building software that sucks.

Our solution: never spend more than 4 hours on a first release. And never spend a minute more until you’ve got proof that your software doesn’t suck. How do you know it doesn’t suck? Simple. When strangers start using it. Giving yourself a 4-hour window really only gives you time to build one feature, write one paragraph, and pick one color scheme. Which is great – a bad idea, with lots of features, is still a bad idea. THE TinyApps TEAM:

• Robbie Schingler (BobbyK)
• Jessy Cowan-Sharp (JessyKate)
• Todd Khozein (Todd_Zero)
• Joshua McKenty (joshuamckenty, of course)

We meet on IRC, once a week, in a frenzy of hacking and ideation called PHPTuesdays. (Ignore the fact that we mostly write Python, Objective C, and other weird languages.) We drink Lapsang Souchoung tea. We cook experimental food. We build software:
