Yesterday was the Loved By Parents award results. No big dinner, no shiny trophies, but a series of announcements on twitter. I was on and off all day, and missed the bits I was interested in, but I was quickly updated by another team member, Clare from Seasider in the City – Family Quest is now an award winning app 🙂 It got Gold in the Best Children’s App category, and Silver in the Best Family App.
I’m quite proud of this. It was great fun designing an app in the Three UK campaign with BritMums, slightly traumatic campaigning for it, but watching its independent progress is now a bit like watching a child take its first wobbly steps alone. Although without the trauma of bumped heads or knees. It’s just a shame (for my bank balance) that our team don’t get any further input or feedback on the progress, though maybe I’ve got a shining future ahead of me coming up with app ideas? Perhaps one day I’ll even make it to a computer long enough to actually develop some…
(Don’t hold your breath. Today I’m typing this over the top of a wriggly, permafeeding, chompy baby – stringing coherent sentences together is hard enough, I certainly wouldn’t be up to writing code.)
