Side project: Golfedout.com

Like a lot of my side projects, golfedout.com was built out of a personal need. Golfedout is intended to track the variety of golf courses I have played over the last 6 or 7 years since I took up the game a little more seriously. When I started the project it was a simple list of courses, and then evolved into a more elaborate application which allowed you to follow other golfers, partake in a leader board, view course details such as architects or addresses and I also added a gamification aspect. Another aspect I was interested in, is how many of the top 100 golf courses have I played? How many PGA tour courses have I played? In the end I believe I may have made golfedout.com considerably more complex than others might have needed. If you are a avid golfed or interested, here is a link to my golfedout.com profile: https://golfedout.com/profile/rangerat read more

Web App: RSSza

RSSza was a website I developed in 2007, it was essentially a content/link aggregator which periodically ran pulling in news and information from RSS feeds. It was probably the first web app I had developed which got some traction and I received some good, and constructive comments from folks on various areas of improvement. After some feedback the site was considered “information overload”, I let users create a profile and customize their feeds.

I shut the site down in around 2011.
