Overview

Team organization made easy.

Our friend Lukas came to Kaitlyn with an idea for making a tool to organize 3D Robotics's software department during our Hack Week. They were growing fast, and it'd would have been super helpful to have something that displayed everything that was going on while also having a cute UI.

ENTER: WALDO Our team was called "Cat Paws", which included:

  • Ed — Icon design.
  • Lukas — Project manager
  • Pancho — Kaitlyn's pair programming partner + "rubber duck" substitute. Specialized in quality control.

Integrating with current tools.

Because we didn't want to have our Project Managers learn a new tool's UI for inputting data, Lukas used google APIs to take a google spreadsheet and turn it into a hash that Kaitlyn could use in a rails app via Https request. This way, there is literally no difference in their workflow, and we just pretty up the data they already have. The data flow is as follows:

Google Spreadsheets →Apps Script →Google Calendar integration →Rails App

A UI for all things coworking.

The goal of this project was to have a clean UI that would answer some classic issues with navigating a startup's org chart:

  • who people are and what team they are on.
  • who is working on what projects.
  • who has what skills and who is the technical lead on teams.
  • show everyone's Out of Office status.
