Captured in a wiki http://fitlog.pbwiki.com

Narrowed the scope to what we thought we could implement in a weekend...

Set up a domain, email, frameworks, and an equity agreement.

Created a logo and mockups, then started coding...(which you've heard the results of)

next…

We'll meet every two weeks, and contribute in the evenings and weekends as available

Release features frequently, use A/B testing (and the like)look to feedback from users to focus as we iterate.
