LazyHusband by MER LV Labs

Ethan Duggan, 12 year old developer

When it’s too hard to actually say it, LazyHusband comes to your rescue. One day, my mom came home with a bunch of new clothes. She kept asking me how she looked. Then I realized, “I have a smart phone in my hand.” So I recorded myself saying “You look wonderful.” I decided to make that into an app. So over the summer, I taught myself Javascript, HTML, and CSS. It took a few months, but I built the app (using Phonegap) then eventually got it approved by Apple. I also built an Android and Kindle version. All 3 version launched at SXSW. Since then, I’ve build LazyKid and LazyWife and just started on my next app, Bargument.
