Technology
Python LAMP stack backend
Backbone.js, jQuery, Mustache templates web front end

Doing some state of the art stuff on the iOS interface (Temporal Map, Plan Making, Invite Interfaces) & the web front end (high performance single page mobile app, all CDN cacheable templates, pure json api after first-load, templates capable of being rendered serverside & clientside).

Product
Gonnabe is leading the industry in interface innovations in Future & Planning tech with our Temporal Map and Plan Making UI’s (both UX’s were done by engineers with some help from a designer).

Gonnabe has a native iOS app on iPhone and we have a mobile web version for Android (we’ll go native after the next raise).
