An Update on Self Compete
I thought I was due for an update on Self Compete. This is almost a personal blog post, which (for me at least) is pretty strange. Luckily, it is a personal post hidden within a status update on something that may actually interest you so it doesn’t get sappy or anything obnoxious like that!
Self Compete has come pretty far. The app functions well, with a few quirks, and the design is pretty solid, although not beautiful. The waiting list still grows every day. I had planned on sending out invites to participate in a beta during the past week but wasn’t able to get to it.
I wasn’t able to get to it because I’ve taken an awesome new job at StatSheet. I love it already. I get to write Ruby on Rails code that presents sports content to users with a fun team of passionate developers who care about improving everything they do.
One of the side effects of taking a new job was that I have virtually had two jobs for the past few weeks. Self Compete suffered a bit because of this, after all it is a one man show and with one man down that means no work gets done.
So, for a few weeks while I adjust to my new job and move across state lines, updates to my personal ventures will come more slowly. They will come, however, because these projects are important to me.
Beta invites will be going out some time over the next few weeks to some of Self Compete’s most eager followers and I will be using their input to determine when the app will be suitable for launch. If you want to participate in the beta, make sure you sign up for the waiting list over at http://www.selfcompete.com
