Getting started

We've begun! A couple months ago, after several weeks of planning and discussions, we decided to go for it and create a platform for parents to find and share fun stuff to do around town with their kids. Now, after nearly two months of development, we're closing in on completing the first phase of engineering and beginning to embark on the all important phase of interface design and usability testing. I'm not sure which phase will prove to have been more challenging. But we're eager to get this out to the world and let parents use it as a tool to facilitate family life.

That's really our goal here. We want to encourage families to spend more time together. We'll hopefully be doing just that in seven major markets as part of our beta testing plan. Those markets include Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Nashville, New York City, Washing DC and Atlanta. We expect to add markets as we go and eventually blanket the country with a service that helps families spend time together. If you're eager to see this service in your area and might be willing to help us out with localized event/activity content, email us at info@famplosion.com.

One of our ambitions is to help families find service opportunities they can do together. Time spent together as a family is important all by itself, but we believe it can be even more amazing when spent serving others in the community. For this reason, we plan to focus on representing these service activities and events on our site.

We're going to be working very hard to make this a platform where users can post events and activities in their local communities that others ought to know about. We welcome feedback on how we're doing as well as ways we can improve the platform as we grow!
