Yep, that's my target audience: gamblers and those that play fantasy sports or are in pickem pools. I've thought about how to add credibility to submissions but decided to leave that out for now.

My first app written in Ember.js.

I've always wanted a place you could go to get short pieces of information about teams in a specific matchup so this is my attempt at creating that.

I would love to hear your feedback. Thanks!

It's crazy that I found this today...I just started something similar except instead of coding every day I set a goal of 4 hours per week and I use Beeminder to track my progress. Many of the benefits you listed are spot on especially "the feeling of making progress is just as important as making actual progress." Now that I have children, coding for 8 hours on a Saturday just doesn't work. To reach my current goal of 4 hours per week, I plan on coding for 30 minutes in the morning or night where I can but I also have arranged with my wife one weeknight where I leave the house and go code at a coffee shop for 2-3 hours.

Any chance you could integrate with the Sleep Cycle app?

I use an iphone app called Mind Jogger. It's a good solution in that is does constantly remind me of things I tend to forget about, things that are important in my life, but as others have stated, eventually you begin to ignore them.

Thanks for replying. I'd still love to know more about the process of getting permission to show conference and team logos.

Very nice! Beautiful and very fast for the amount of data that is calculated on the fly. What technologies did you use? Also, did you have to pay license fees to display team and conference logos?

It took me 4 months working on and off, mornings and weekends to finally get my first app in the iTunes store. I was hesitant to learn objective C so I started out trying to build it with html/javascript/phonegap using tiggzi.com. After getting rejected twice for the app not being up to Apple's standards, I bit the bullet and dove into objective c. I watched a few Stanford classes in iTunes but mostly I did a lot of searching on StackOverflow.

I don't know how many times I had to set a reminder to track time with a client. Now I can do it immediately on the go. I've been waiting for this app!
