I had the pleasure of working on a cool project with Jonathan Campos and the team over at BugQuash. The BugQuash App was presented to Adobe last week and things went very well, they liked it so much that they are presenting it at Adobe Max next month!

For those new to BugQuash, it is a social space for users to post and quash flex bugs.

Some of the features of the app include:

• Bug Lists
• Active members
• Social feeds, such as twitter, blogs and news
• Live locations, this shows active users all over the world as seen on Tour de Flex
• Member profiles
• User Collaboration
• Member achievements
• Browser and Air App

Technologies used:

• Flex4
• Flash Catalyst
• Photoshop
• Livecycle Data Service
• Java
• Hibernate
• MySQL
• Ruby

The project was created to show what can be built in 4 weeks. Yes, 4 weeks from design to development. That left only one week for the concept and design of the UI and information architecture for the whole app. In the end I think the app came out looking and working amazingly well. I am always impressed with what flex can do in such a short time as long as you have someone as brilliant as Jonathan on the front end, Nate Beck, and Brian Burck on the back end.

The app is not online yet, I will keep you posted on its location once its up. But I included some screen shots on this post until then.

Now that the deadline that we had to meet (Adobe Meeting) is gone we have some time to go back and fine tune a few elements before it goes live and you guys start playing with it. We will be adding in additional graphical elements that we just didn’t have time to include on the first build. We will also spend some more time playing with the latest builds of Flash Catalyst and see how much more we can do with that.

See you at MAX!
