By Eric Richardson

So the LA edition of BarCamp starts in a few hours. I remember thinking it sounded cool when Sean made the announcement, but then I sort of forgot about the date. Sunday or Monday I realized it was this weekend and decided that I had a certain project I wanted to get into shape to talk about. Over the next few evenings I proceeded to get a little done here and there.

But now we're five hours before the opening and I've got 565 lines of Javascript and no backend.

I get the feeling this may be more of a Sunday afternoon demo than a Saturday one.

Definitely more here real soon. This project is a concept I've been sitting on for a long time, and I'm really excited about it.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
