Missed this thread until now, but thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog post. (I’m considering sending it to my mother who, although she understands the basic concept of making apps, was not able to entirely grasp what the 48 Hour Challenge was, I don’t think.)
Thanks for the thanks as well and I’m glad you had fun; I hope that this will become an annual thing.
In the meantime, I am still trying to come up with other ways to help bring the community together, so if anyone has any hit me up via email. (My name at gmail.com)
Lastly, I really loved getting to know others through the challenge too. People I’d never spoken to I’ve gotten somewhat acquainted with, while I now feel a whole lot closer to the other judges as well. It has been a very positive experience all around, I think.
