Inception Deck

1. Why Are We Here?

I want to build this for: Personal Use, Test Field, and as an Example Work

2. Create an Elevator Pitch

• For amateurs party hosts and normal people
• who want to prepare cocktails
• MindTheDrink
• is a webapp and web directory
• that allows them to find recipes they can make with what they have, rate them and create their own versions.
• Unlike the Cocktail apps and Web Directories
• our product is more focused in the users variations than in listing millions of recipes.

3. Design a Product Box

Stop drinking the same old cheap rum and coke mix. Be creative! Mind your drink!

4. Create a NOT List

5. Meet Your Neighbors

N/A. Right now is a one-man project, although there are some people that will help.

6. Show the Solution

Rails 4 + Postgres + Solr

7. Ask What Keeps Us Up at Night

• Development speed.
• Visual Design being too "techie" and "bad" as being developed by an engineer with no visual design eye.
• Open source project while developing the codebase.
• Loose focus and drop the project.
• One man -> One vision -> greater risk of making mistakes and loosing it.
• Making stuff much more complicated than it needs to be.
• Planning 2 apps at the same time: cocktails and meal recipes.
• The "what can I do with the ingredients in my cabinet" feature is a risky one.
• Making it to my needs and that eventually noone will use it.
