Joind.in provides the missing link between the people attending a conference and the ones that presented. The usual method of handing out paper forms is outdated and needs to be replaced. That’s where we come in – attendees can post their comments directly to each of the talks they attended, giving the speaker direct feedback on how they did and what they can do to improve.

Joind.in also has something to offer the speakers – you can track your record across the conferences and see how changes in your talk might have made a difference in your ratings.

FAQs

Q: So, why open source the system?
A: It’s simple really – not only did the idea evolve out of a community (the PHP community is awesome, by the way) but it’s also a perfect project to get out there and let other communities use. The whole point of the site is to get people talking to each other and sharing the code for the site is a great way to get the ball rolling.

Q: Why did you choose CodeIgniter over something like the Zend Framework (or one of tons of others out there)?
A: CodeIgniter was selected for two reasons – it’s simple nature and how this nature makes it easier for other developers to get in on the process. The learning curve for CodeIgniter is pretty flat – even people without much experience in MVC frameworks can pick it up in no time. There’s been a few challenges along the way that other frameworks might have made easier, but noting that hasn’t been overcome.
