Beer Run

Collaborative list making made simple. No usernames, no signups. Create a list, share the link, go shopping with a friend, check off items as you pick them up so the other knows not to get it
Judging Instructions
Tested and developed in Chrome, designed to be a mobile web app. The desktop front end is for easily and quickly adding/deleting/ordering the list.
This app allowed you to build, distribute, and collaborate at the same time on lists. On the homepage click “start a new list”. There are no user signups, each URL is a unique key to your list. It’s the only way to access it.
Open the same list in two browser windows and they oughta update each other with new information using PubNub. Click on the list title to rename the list. While in editing mode, click on the item title to rename the item.
When creating a new list, you will be presented with a sample “Hurricane Party” list. To create your own, simply change the title and delete the items. This was intentionally done so users could see a complete list and get a feel for the application.

ethan_andersonjudgeIt’s very broken. Creating a new list just takes you to someone else’s random list. Clicking Add item results in an error message that asks you to rename it to Item6, and it doesn’t seem to retain additions to the list.
ssorokajudgeNice idea. Not completely free of bugs, or unfinished? For an app that’s made to look like an iphone app, I expected it to actually work on the iphone. It kind of works, but is buggy and has no refresh. Even in chrome, for an app that’s copying the UI of the iphone, you totally missed out on the UX of the device. Despite being simple looking, it’s not simple to use.
Every “new list” seems to go to the exact same list, which makes it kind of useless past testing. Also there’s no reason for the url to be so long. :)
visnupjudgeutility – this is conflated with innovation, but there are just so many ways to make a list on an iphone now
design – kiinda looks like a phone ui, but the front page is unusable on an actual phone.
innovation – nothing new here
completeness – couldn’t add to my list. checking didn’t turn anything green. reorder worked though.

mahemoffjudgeI like the simplicity of it – just URLs. Would be especially useful with a way to share links (good on Android with Intents, but maybe launch email client on iOS). And eventually a desktop look-and-feel to go with the mobile one.

contestantWould love shorter URLs/QRcode for easier transferring the list between browser window – mobile.
I find it pretty useful, with big potential for future.

Missing some basic functionality to make it useful like assignment and item comments. The site design is nice but the list design need more work, at least to bring it to the same level of polish as native apps.
