Mindgrub was contracted in early 2010 to develop the online fan application for the Washington Capitals which was launched in mid April during the 2010 playoff season.

The application called Slapstick allows fans to create rants by uploading their photos and voices to a Capitals player or coach’s body; In addition fans can then share rants through email and social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter.

Mindgrub developed the application through the use of Flash/Flex for a rich end user experience and Drupal for back end content management.

Mindgrub Technologies has established a relationship with Johns Hopkins University in order to develop a mobile application for the university’s Homewood campus located in Baltimore, Maryland. The mobile application will be released in Late Spring 2010 and will provide tours as well as on-campus directions.

The application will provide points of interest throughout the campus including walking directions. This will allow students or guests to visually understand how to get to various on campus locations and events.
