Slice of Lime is proud to announce its first internally-built web-application, TopShelf. TopShelf makes it easy to manage your job openings and to place a widget on any website.

We decided to build the app for two reasons.

1. A client needed it: A new client, TechStars.org (new site will be launching soon), needed a tool that allowed multiple companies to manage jobs in one site. The TopShelf application and widget makes it easy to do this and to customize the job listings using a local stylsheet.
2. We’re moving towards Agile Development: More and more of our projects are falling into the “web application” category and have much larger scopes than projects we did 3 or 4 years ago. As such, we’re finding that an Agile Development approach may be more appropriate in these cases (building websites in several iterations vs. all at once). TopShelf launches today with a very simple set of features and is fully functional. From design to final code, it took 8 hours. However, we have a large laundry list of ideas that we will be rolling out in the following weeks and months. This gets the application out to the public faster and allows us to incorporate real feedback into our iteration decisions.

TopShelf allows you to manage a list of your job openings.

Job Details are simple and include Job Title, Location, Description, and Contact Email.

The most useful function of TopShelf is the Widget. Any user can copy this code into their corporate website or blog (or both!) and their job listings will be presented as a bulleted list. This list can be styled using a local stylesheet so that it matches the look and feel of any website it is placed on.

Stay tuned for more enhancements to our TopShelf application as time goes on. There’s a lot that we have planned. For now, please sign up and send us your feedback!
