Featured App: Todo.my

Today we're featuring Todo.my built by Nikunj Dhawan.

What is Todo.my?

Todo is an easy to use Task Management website, I currently have around 75 registered users.

Why did you choose AppHarbor?

AppHarbor is beautiful, I can deploy my new version in less than 15 seconds. Best part is it can be linked through BitBucket which makes it very easy.

Todo.my uses MongoDB for persistence and on AppHarbor a MongoDB database is easily provisioned throught the add-on program.

Once I get more users, scaling up will be as easy as clicking few buttons.

Which technologies is Todo.my built on?

Todo is built on ASP.Net MVC 3 using the Razor view engine. It uses jQuery and KnockoutJS to a great extent and MongoDb for data storage.

How has AppHarbor worked for you so far?

AppHarbor is WOW, I have been using Azure and you are absolutely correct when you say that AppHarbor is "Azure done Right".

I never thought, deploying new versions of my application could be so easy, and the rollback feature is great if I discover a problem with a new build.

How often do you deploy new versions?

When being developing actively, several versions a day -- otherwise, at least once a week.

What did you like the best? Where could we improve?

I loved everything I tried with AppHarbor so far. I'd love to get brackground jobs. Currently I am scheduling my tasks through a third party web cron manager.

Anything else?

Thank you so much for providing such a GREAT platform!
