Homeschool Apple Is Finally Done!

Homeschool Apple Is Finally Done!

Posted on 08. Mar, 2009 by Chris in Geek Life, Geeking Out, Projects, Ruby on Rails, Websites, Wordpress

After years of on-again, off-again coding, several complete re-writes, and at least three complete interface overhauls, Homeschool Apple is FINALLY complete!

Carrie and I thought this day would never come. But thanks to a lot of hard work by Scott, Carrie, and yours truly, I am happy to say that HSA represents the very best of my work thus far.

The interface is clean and easy-to-use. There are a LOT of slick programming tricks making the magic happen, and I believe we broke ground on a brand new way to do multi-vendor sales with one checkout. I actually gave the framework we developed that the site is built on a name tonight, which can only lead to coding stardom - right? For the record, I am calling the framework WeSell, but am open to suggestions on it.

We actually plan to release several niche websites built on the same technology. I can see applications in the comic-book trading, baseball card and collectable doll markets. Who knows? If you have a particular hobby or something you buy and sell online and are not satisfied with what’s out there, shoot me an email. Maybe we can hook you up!

If you get a chance, slide on over to Homeschool Apple and take a peek. Not to whet your whistle or anything, but we are offering a $50 Target GiftCard as this week’s weekly giveaway and all you have to do is sign up as a user to be automatically entered.

Pretty cool!

    Hey Chris, we met at BarCamp. Cool site. I was homeschooled up to college so I definitely appreciate it.

    Its funny, I also built a RoR web app for homeschoolers back in highschool. I haven’t been able to keep it up so over the past few months things have broken down due to Amazon closing their affiliate program to North Carolinians. It was a fun endeavor any way: http://www.homeschoolingtogether.com

    I believe I saw your site before things went awry. Thanks for the props. Keep me posted on what you have going on; I love seeing what other RoR types are doing in Charlotte.
