Delicious Library developed in coffee shop
According to this Wired article, Delicious Monster, makers of Delicious Library, work out of Zoka coffee shop in Seattle’s U District.
Delicious Library really might become a revolutionary app (many people would probably say it already is). If you are unfamiliar with it, users can catalog their collections (books, movies, music) and track loans by checking out items, scanning the UPC barcode with a webcam. Not only has it made everyone a cataloger, but its next big feature allows browsing of other libraries, turning it into a social app. On top of that, it ties into Amazon for a lot of its features.
Seattle’s U District is also fantastic. It’s the only place in the US I could see myself living in comfortably other than Evanston.
