All-Temp Heating was looking to refresh their web presence but wanted to manage the content and design on their own. Superblock built a Content Management System (CMS) according to All-Temp's requirements and specifications that allowed them to create and launch an entirely new website in just a week, with an integrated HTML editor, asset manager, statistical tracking, and a weblog engine. The CMS was built on a custom, lightweight Model-View-Controller framework.

Optimized for viewing on iPhone, Android, and WebOS phones, our Metra Train Schedule website is a side project created as a public service to easily view departure and arrival times, delay alerts, and route information for the Metra Rail system of Chicago. While not affiliated with Metra, this project uses publicly available route information and delay alerts offered by the official Metra website.

Now listed in the Apple Web Apps Directory.

Demonstrating our expertise beyond web-based projects, Superblock is refactoring and expanding this customer's backend system responsible for receiving and logging events from alarm systems. Additional protocol support for the customer's new hardware vendors will be seamlessly integrated into their existing system.

To launch its newly designed website, this photography studio needed some custom integration with its new photo-hosting provider through the provider's SOAP API. Superblock is developing a solution that tightly integrates the new hosting provider's features into our customer's website and backend administration, making for a better experience for end-users and employees.

A small project written for fun, goingtorain.com geo-locates your IP address and checks the weather to tell you, in one simple word, whether it's going to rain (or snow) today.

Superblock designed and built a web-based system for All-Temp Heating to automate and streamline the previously manual process of dispatching service call information from their existing database application to their technicains in the field. A server-side component was written to periodically extract ticket information from All-Temp's Windows-based database server and synchronize it with the Ruby on Rails web-based dispatch application. Dispatchers at the office can quickly schedule and organize dispatches on an interactive map, then easily send the customer's information directly to a field technician's phone via SMS.

Expanding on its Velvet platform, Superblock created a hosted application to facilitate the management due diligence process and store relevant data for the world's leading global management consulting firm.

Fed up with using Quickbooks, we started developing our own web-based billing system to generate invoices and handle bills, projects, customers, vendors, and financial accounts. We have been using it to manage all of our company finances for over a year and will soon be offering it as a subscription-based hosted application for other small businesses like us.

Providing an Intranet-like hub of information, Superblock jointly built a central "dashboard" for our customer's network engineers. The site allowed them to easily access SNMP statistics, documentation, and network tools for the many hundreds of devices on their network. Superblock created and integrated many different types of systems for this project, from the backend high-performance SNMP data collection and storage to the statistical graphing engine on the web frontend.
