Instigating Inspiration: Panic Software's 'Status Board' App + Applico Prototype, v1

Sometimes you need a secret project with a codename to inspire yourself and your coworkers.

---

Today a coworker and I surprise-presented our stealth prototype project experimenting with Panic Software’s recently released Status Board iPad app. In order to drum up internal support for a larger installation, we decided to go rogue and crash the morning company meeting. In a speed-round preso, we gave an overview of the app’s delicious pixels, the process of prototyping using internal data, and ended by unveiling our Applico Status Board frankenstein creation.
