Seattle Freeways- The App I should have created but didn’t

Jan, 26, 2010

I have lofty dreams of being the self-sufficient gardner/technologist/home-maker and they are all crap. CRAP I SAY. Because seriously, the next time I can self sustain recycled technology without updates or the Internetz is the day I’m a freaking billionaire.

So, until I can telepath my way in to your brain bypassing email and other insecure methods and create every app on my own I shall ever need, I’ll introduce you to some of my favorites that I totally had the idea for and never told anyone.

Except via telepathy.

And it totally worked.

We’ll call this category, “She so crazy she couldda made this, baby”

#1 in the series: Seattle Freeways.
Tag line by Me: Because HOLYSHIT seattle is complex and has a lot of cars.

Sure Sure you can save the bookmark of local news traffic from Safari on your desktop three pages back in your apps screen on your iPhone. Sure it’ll work “meh”. But I want something more specific, easy to read while stopped at a light wondering which direction to turn, and fast loading.

Thus I downloaded Seattle Freeways.

For 2.99 you can put local news websites out of business and bypass slow loading servers.
That, my friends, is so totally worth it alone.

Informative, simple, fast, and user friendly. What more could I have possibly come up with?

Oh, right, the code.

Thank you, Svends, if I can call you that for this wonderful resource. Maybe now I’ll hit a downtown meeting on time, for once.

It’s an awesome app. You’re the first person I’ve read who has called it out. I was planning to add my own review but now I’ll just link to yours.

About

Mom of two, Community Architect at EllisLab. I'm learning to eat clean after being diagnosed with celiac sensitivity. Recently took a short trip to The Netherlands. I make a very bad drunk. I am of no particular religion. Raising a 5yr old daughter, a 3yr old son, my claim of fame is being the girl Ree thought was pregnant, and also that time I met Bella Karoli. But mostly the belly thing. (Read the FAQ...).

Hai! 13 here now

I've been dropping carefully placed f-bombs on the Internet since 2003. I'm also very sarcastic and somewhat prone to exaggeration. Stay and I'll give you a beer. Subscribe and I'll do a very clothed, very bad (ala: Thirty Rock) table dance for you. Tempting, eh?
