Our Wild Story
High atop Mount Codermore, where the clouds meet the code, an extraordinary team of wild animals has been crafting the most delightful potluck planning experience on the planet. Welcome to the story behind Potluck Party Vibes!
The Unusual Suspects
Our CEO (Chief Eating Officer) is Maurice, a food-loving grizzly bear with an uncanny ability to organize feasts. Back in 2023, after attending yet another chaotic potluck where everyone brought dessert and nobody remembered the main course, Maurice decided enough was enough.
With his vision clear, Maurice recruited a team of the forest's finest talents:
- Ruby the Raccoon – Our lead developer with nimble paws perfect for typing and a natural talent for finding unexpected solutions (and occasionally rummaging through the office trash for "inspiration").
- Hoots the Owl – Our UX designer who brings night-vision perspective to the user experience. She ensures everything is intuitive, even at 3 AM when you're planning that emergency midnight snack gathering.
- The Beaver Brothers (Bill and Ted) – Our infrastructure team who built our server farm quite literally—from trees they chopped down themselves. Sustainable AND efficient!
- Sammy the Squirrel – Our QA tester with an attention span of... Oh look, an acorn! Despite distractions, Sammy finds every bug with remarkable precision.
Our Mountain Manifesto
"We believe that every potluck should be as wild as we are, but with significantly better organization. No more duplicate potato salads, no more forgotten napkins, just perfectly choreographed food harmony."
Our Development Process
Our office spans the entire eastern ridge of Mount Codermore, with workstations carved into hollow trees and meeting rooms in sunny clearings. We begin each day with a howl (led by our project manager, Wolfred) and end with a sunset feast to test new potluck ideas.
Development challenges are unique when your team consists of wild animals:
- Ruby constantly adds features to track and organize "shiny things" that no human has ever requested
- Hoots insists all interfaces must work equally well in complete darkness
- The Beaver Brothers occasionally chew through critical power lines
- Maurice hibernates through Q1, leaving sticky notes with cryptic instructions like "make it more beary good"
Despite these challenges, or perhaps because of them, we've created an app that understands the chaotic, wonderful nature of gathering friends for food. Because if a group of wild animals can organize themselves to build an app, you can definitely organize a potluck!
The Future is Wild
As we continue to evolve Potluck Party Vibes, we're exploring exciting new features:
- Scent profiles for food items (currently in testing, though our methods are questionable)
- Hibernation mode for long-term event planning
- Territorial boundary respecting seating charts
- Foraging maps for the most adventurous potlucks
Thank you for joining our pack, pride, murder, gaggle, or whatever group noun applies to humans who love good food and better company!
