Mike Downey - Apollo

Mike's giving a talk now as part of the keynote on Apollo.

He's showing a version of an online/offline word processor app called Buzzword. The guys from Virtual Ubiquity built a SICK word processor that is the nicest tool I've ever seen in this space. Yeah. yeah. Word is nice and all BUT...the excitement of online word processors is a bit much. Problem is you can't work offline. Like. for example. on a plane...or a room with no internet access...or in your car...etc. So here's an app that bridges the gap without any crazy syncing that falls to the user to do. Quite convenient and a really nice UX to boot.

demo...gTimer. Looks like a neat online/offline project tracking/time tracking app. The QuickBooks timer app sucks - this does SO MUCH MORE including calendaring to show your time breakdown. simple color tagging. centralized project/client tracking. The ability for a team to be on or off your network to log their time is beyond useful. He also created a FlashLite version in about 3 days that has almost all of this functionality as well.

I better get serious about learning everything about Flex so I have a good shot at doing serious Apollo work. RecruitWeb would be an AWESOME Apollo app!
