Inspired by Rails Rumble we’ve decided to run our own one-day app challenge.

The idea of a one-day app is to conceptualize, develop, design and market a web based application in 24 working hours. This challenge is aimed at keeping us, the Platform45 team on our toes and it ensure that we stick to the fundamentals of developing and designing applications.

Rules of the game:24tv-730423

1. The whole process must be completed in 24 working hours, 3 working days.
2. No design or development is allowed once the time is up.

If you want to play, let us know: We are looking for idea’s, tips and hints for our next application. Leave a comment or email us.

If you would like to know when the countdown for the next challenge begins, take a look at the one-day app section on our website. Here you’ll find all one-day apps and apps in progress.
