Hey everyone, finally I’m up on my two feet after 24 hrs of sleep, just kidding. The 48 hrs Rails hackathon was a blast. Sleep was not something we expected to have in the normal capacity, but hey we made it. So I tried googling for SimpleBucket, just to check if the giant indexer of the web has picked up anything about us. Not too bad, googling for simplebucket came up with quite a number of results, more than I had expected since we were only live 72hrs now. To my pleasant surprise, I saw a link to Killerstartup.com. Nice… They reviewed SimpleBucket and pretty much hit the spot in describing what our vision is with SimpleBucket.
“The site is dummy-proof with clear instructions and large readable text. The main page gives the user a few easy steps to start filling up their simple bucket.”
“This site is like a cool person with whom you want to be friends. The vibe is good and it’s a no-brainer. A very important feature is the large font, because it’s embarrassing to have to use bifocals to look at your own photos.”
As we moved on from RailsRumble, we will be taking on bugs ( we’ve found some but nothing major) and working more on features just you SimpleBucket lovers. PEACE OUT.

Yes, we did it. It was tiring, we had little sleep. But it fun, and we managed to complete 90% of what we had pen down initially. So SimpleBucket is a no hassle image hosting provider. No account registration, activation, nothing. Just a simple and hassle free way to quickly upload and share your photos. The best thing about SimpleBucket? You can add notes Flickr style. All your recent uploads can be accessed without logging in using a super top secret url, so really, there is nothing holding you back from using SimpleBucket. So here you have it, a photo hosted by no other people – SimpleBucket!

Now are we about 24 hrs toward RailsRumble. Things are going smooth and we are almost on schedule. I think it will start to pickup as we get more warmed up and sleep. We are probably going to catch a few hours of sleep and get ready for the final push tomorrow. As for updates, check out http://www.simplebucket.com
You should see real time updates as we build and update the live production server at http://www.simplebucket.com. But no real deals yet. Watch the next 24 as we try to launch our startup over this crazy weekend!

Hey everyone. What’s Simplebucket? You may ask, we are going to code a rockass startup in 48hrs? And how? With the best thing that has ever happen to developers all over the world, Ruby on Rails. So here’s the long story short – We are taking part in the 48hrs Rails Hackathon, RailsRumble, and through the gift of the internet, friends, irc, etc… We’ve formed a team to take this idea online.

Will we succeed, and win the coveted RailsRumble world championship belt? Find out soon.. as a matter of fact, watch this space for the next 48hrs as we update our progress, reveal what we will be working on 4 hours from now and getting things done!
