Latest Pics from the App!!


Save your Scores


View Your Overall Progress(sorted by Date)


View By Individual Source(Sorted by Date)
For e.g. My Scores for OG12 were graphed as below


While the app does ask for more information at the time of entering the scores, I haven't figured out a way yet to display that into the charts. Rest assured i am working on it and will have it sorted out soon. In the meantime, for those who relentlessly track their errors, this could be interesting :)

Also note that the order of the graphs is PS, DS, SC, CR and RC i.e. you'll see all 5 sections mapped separately but on the same page.

Phase 1 is now LIVE!!!

:D

It works well!! Loads a little slowly.i'm guessing that's more a facebook problem than anything else. Will attach pics and a "How-To" later but its pretty self-explanatory.

Go on, give it a try :)

900 users!!

800 to 900 was a fast journey :)

Though the app did get stuck in the nervous 90s :( 899 to be exact. For nearly 3days.

With the latest stat update, the app is now up to 907! I am also almost done with the coding :D Will be rolling out Phase1 by Monday. Super-excited, Super-Nervous. This is the first major upgrade to the app in a year and its been a bit of a biggie. I almost despaired of being able to complete it but its heartening to know that i am close to pushing it live.

Fun times ahead :)

800 users!

Sure, that's not an insanely large number, but i am targeting a very focussed and niche sector. Of course i'd like this to be higher, but i'll take what i've got-- 800+ users and 35Fans :)

What i would also like is to increase user-interaction with the app but not sure how to do that without adding yet-another-forum. There are a couple of ideas that I have in mind but i want to get my current project done quickly.

My work on the app has been slow but steady. Minor hitches in the way posed as seemingly unsurmountable problems, forcing me to spend time exploring other options before coming back and realising they were minor annoyances. As things stand now, i need a week more to roll out to the main app, if things go well.

PUYSCAR Awards!!

A PUYSCAR is a Pagalguy.com award handed out yearly and is voted upon by PG users. There are no pre-determined nominations, instead PG relies on users to vote for various awards based on their experience/interaction. Anybody can vote, and winners, as is being acknowledged on the thread are definitely the most deserving ones.

Amazingly, i've won 2 awards in the GMAT/International MBA section!! Ok, i tied for 1 but even in that category, i voted for the other, so there's atleast 1 other person who's voted for me.

Needless to say, mighty thrilled :)

p.s. Last year, I didn't get any :s

New Features in the Offing

New Feature being rolled out soon on the App. Keep your eyes open!

This is a feature i've been planning for a long time. Spent time coding over the weekend and i've moved one step closer to seeing it fulfilled. Now, i need to finish 1 BIG step and i can start a round of testing on it.

Throwing my hat over the fence by putting a notice of it on the app.

Keeping my hopes and spirits high :)

Rise in GPA!

WooHoo!!

My grades are out and pretty spectacular when compared to last sem. I took 3 courses and have 2As and a B giving me a sem average of 3.66 and an over-all average of 3.33!! That's waaaay better than the average when i finished my Engg degree so in that sense, this degree is certainly helping me cover that weak area of my app. i hope to graduate with a 3.5+ GPA and with another 700+ GMAT score, that effectively takes care of my Acads! w00t!!

Now,to work on my work-ex.

Hear ye, hear ye-- Experienced Product Manager seeks exciting product development and product management job :)
