# Worldly Developments

## Overview

Worldly Developments is a startup developing [Plancast](http://plancast.com/), a site for discovering cool activities and events in your area through friends and other people.

The company is based out of San Francisco. It is not really a team yet: one person is currently working on things full-time, and the work covers both the front and back ends of the site. That could easily change, which is why two programming roles are open.
