QuoteJetty is supposedly to be my first RoR application, but somehow as I was developing it, questions were surfacing about the viability of this idea. So after some deep thinking and inputs from friends, I’ve decided to put a stop to QuoteJetty development indefinitely.

The main consideration for doing this is because, it is a new concept, it is about changing a company’s procurement process to be always open. We are talking about changing the mindset and habit as well, and it needs participation from purchasers and suppliers as a whole to make it work. To cut it short, it needs lots of publicity and marketing. And sadly, I don’t own Straits Times, so I will not be able to market it like STOMP.

And not to put QuoteJetty to waste, I’ve decided to move on with my initial plan, which is to develop a simple and user friendly jobsite for Singapore. I am always afraid to sign up for a jobsite due to the abundance of information they need me to fill up. Come on, it’s hard enough not to have a job, so make it more difficult for us. So it will be named JobJetty, and let it be a more pleasant way to find a job.
