Last weekend, two teams of thoughtbotters participated in the [2013 Rails Rumble](http://railsrumble.com/), a worldwide programming competition where teams have 48 hours to build an innovative web application.

In Boston and Stockholm, Caleb Hearth, Goose Mongeau, Joël Quenneville, and Reda Lemeden created [Scrapboard](http://scrapboard.r13.railsrumble.com/?utm_source=giantrobots&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=rails-rumble-roundup), an image storage app that automatically tags uploaded images with things like color and size, and allows you to add your own tags. This app is meant to help you organize images that inspire your designs, but is also fun for GIFs.

In San Francisco a team including Britt Ballard, Scott Albertson, Galen Frechette, and Greg Lazarev created [Tenant.io](http://tenantio.r13.railsrumble.com/?utm_source=giantrobots&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=rails-rumble-roundup), which will collect rent money from roommates each month and send one check. Never front the rent again!
