Ask HN: Is there a NaNoWriMo equivalent for programming/apps?

A bunch of us are informally trying to get something written in November. I'm mentally committed to launching Appointment Reminder at the end of the month, by hook or by crook.

Oh, cool! Although a different month would have been nice for those of us who are also trying to write a novel :).

Its possible that it may be more frequent :)

Not coding, but PragProWriMo sounds relevant:

None that I'm aware of.

However, doesn't mean we can't take, say, January (or february, one of the winter months where outside is rather cold) and make that into NaProWriMo (National Program Writing Month).

I am posting here just to keep myself honest. By December 1st I too will have launched my current side project.

There is now! I'll take the challenge.
