Coimbra Startup Meetup

If you follow this blog, you probably know that I organize a monthly meetup for the Coimbra Startup Scene. It’s been almost two years since I started doing it (since February 2010) and I finally made a website for it:

We’re also going to try out a new format that will include:

  • A briefing, where everybody shares what interesting stuff they’ve been working on;
  • One hour conversion around a pre-selected topic, with an host and guests.

The next meetup is already on January 4th, at Connect Coimbra. Fred Oliveira will discuss the intersection between code and design together with Paulo Pereira, Levi Figueira and everyone else who shows up. Join us

Introducing Reading

For this year’s Codebits, I decided to do a solo project I had on my shelf for a while: a simple app to share the books I’m reading, and find out what everyone else is reading. It was the first time in 5 years I ended up with something publicly launched and working properly \o/

I know there are a lot of website around books. A lot of people told me about Goodreads. But I wanted to create something minimal: a stream of books that a person read. Take a look at my profile: http://reading.io/sdsantos

I used Twitter’s social graph to save everyone the trouble of yet again follow/friend people. And Twitter is where I’m already following the people I find interesting.

Go on, give it a try ;)
