Boarrd was created by WeLaika in 2010. The application was constructed as an entry for the Rails Rumble MMX contest. It was completed in less than 48 hours. The application currently gives the user a great deal of flexibility in terms of what type of widgets they add to their Boarrd. Many people use the Boarrd as a better way to bring together their favorite widgets in a clean, user friendly environment.

The service offered by Boarrd is very simply, but useful for anyone who likes widgets. The application allows users to add all of their favorite widgets to one organized board. The user can review their board any time to get weather updates, check the time or view other stats or information provided by the widgets they have added. Boarrd is highly customizable so each user can create Boarrd board that is all their own.

The Boarrd website invites users with a pleasantly dark color scheme that features a lot of black against hints of vibrant blue and bits of pure white. The amusing Boarrd icon features the silhouette of a pirate complete with a hat and parrot on his shoulder. The letters “arr” are highlighted in white, hinting at one of the most timeless pirate phrases. The actual Boarrd maintains its dark appearance, which creates a beautiful backdrop for elegant widgets that utilize color or images. The design has a mature feel to it without losing the pleasantries that come with its fun, almost playful naming concept.

A new user can begin by clicking the grey “Create a New Boarrd!” button found along the right hand side of the homepage (beside the demo button). This takes the user to registration form. The form asks for a valid email address and password. After filling out the short form and clicking the grey and white “Sign Up Now!” button below it, the user is taken to their dashboard. From there, they can click the grey and white “Create a New Boarrd!” button at the bottom of the page to get started.
