Profr and Crowd Tic-Tac-Toe
I recently released two apps that I'd like to share with you: Profr and Crowd Tic-Tac-Toe. While these apps don't form enough content for a full-blown post, I'm currently working on some interesting querying tools at work that I intend to write about in the future.
Profr is a lightweight proposals generator and management app that I built to replace Proposify at my workplace. We were frustrated with Proposify's sluggish interface, so I created Profr to provide a simple and snappy interface. Profr uses Markdown and CSS for proposals, which creates a transparent and flexible editing environment.
On the other hand, Crowd Tic-Tac-Toe is just a bit of fun. It's a crowdsourced game of tic-tac-toe that takes votes worldwide on what the next move should be. Each generation increases the vote threshold, and there's an increasing delay mechanism for voting, making deciding when to vote an interesting strategic choice.
Both of these apps are built in Rust+Elm, using a similar framework as Kronuz. I described Kronuz and the backing server paradigm in these two blog posts:

I hope you enjoy using Profr and Crowd Tic-Tac-Toe as much as I enjoyed building them!
