Doodle API contest

Hi, we're Dockyard

And we absolutely love Doodle. In fact, that's the reason why we decided to enter the Doodle API contest. We thought that spicing up our boring day jobs at Dockyard (we build mobile and web apps, you see) with some fancy mashup development was a great idea. Experienced Doodlers as we were, we thought there was room for improvement we just had to fill.

Allright, tell me

So that's exactly what we did. We decided to focus on that one part that Doodle does so awfully well: being dead easy to schedule events. While doing things awfully well usually is a pretty good thing, Doodle's simplicity results in something rather impersonal, turning invitations into something technical. That's a shame really, as they're an integral part of the invitation experience.

So that's where we started: turn Doodle into something personal and allow people to invite each other the old-school face-to-face way. All that combined with Doodle's brilliantly easy-to-use approach of course. We found Moo to be the perfect partner to add that humanity part to the project: nothing beats the effect of receiving a beautifully designed invitation. As much as we digital kids hate it, sometimes print just works better ;-)

Now show me

Well, you just want to see what we've built, right? Visit dc.dockyard.be to find out about the invitation experience yourself or watch the video some renowed company created to explain what we're doing exactly.

DoodleCards was developed by Piet Jaspers, Bert Timmermans and Tijs Vrolix.
