The Results: 2011
It’s been a long road, but we’re finally at the end. First of all, let me say I was really pleased with this years WaW. More than one WaW veteran mentioned that this may have been the best one yet, and I absolutely agree. Next year we’ll need to have one that’s a bit crap, or the bar might become too intimidating, but that’s a problem for another day....

2011: the brief
The brief for this year’s WebApp Weekender is a little different.
In the past the WebApp Weekender has been very focussed on production. We’d conceive of an app, design it, build it, and allow it to be judged. This was fun, but we left out a key piece of the puzzle: marketing. This meant that no Weekender app has ever had much of a life after the Weekender. This is a shame.

Mint Digital Web App Weekender 2009
Mint Digital has a company retreat with a difference. Once a year, all Mints (London and New York) go down to Scoles Manor for a long weekend. However, it’s not all fun and games (and drinking). We split into 3 teams and compete building web applications in 4 days.
Here’s what we made last year. This year’s brief is “create something cool withHemlock”. The judging...
