My story begins on a regular September afternoon. My laundry basket, bursting at the seams with an array of weather-inappropriate clothing, had toppled over entirely. I decided after some quick calculations that I would be able to complete the full laundry cycle in the amount of time I had before dinner. I could not have been more wrong.

When we posted the brand new WesPoints app a few weeks ago, commenters were quick to posit other potential apps to make life on campus easier. As one “Weeeeeeewobwobwob” smartly commented: “an app for laundry machine availability, ESPECIALLY for hi/lowrise would be great since its like, 5 washers for maybe 500 people or something and its a painnnn.” Our own Sneakergaze compared it to the ITS toolbar that shows how many computers are free in each lab.
I was skeptical that the laundry machine availability service could soon be implemented at Wesleyan. I was wrong.
I also didn’t know about LaundryView, an “internet application that allows you to monitor the status of washers and dryers in connected laundry rooms through a Web browser.”
