Tools to Bootstrap your Startup Weekend Idea

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend Columbia MO's second annual Startup Weekend where I teamed up with Wade to build a gag startup called PRLibs, which uses madlibs to auto-generate press releases for startups. We realized that many startup press releases sound similar and could be improved by creating an automated system. To achieve this, we used Posterous and Zapier to create a simple HTML form, send emails, and generate paragraphs from user input. Our project was successful, despite being referred to as "worst startup of all time", and demonstrated the potential for non-developers to build working demos using various tools such as Webhooks app, Kickoff Labs Landing pages, Balsamiq, WooThemes, Posterous, and Tumblr. The experience showcased that with the right combination of tools and a bit of creativity, anyone can turn their idea into a working prototype.
