News seems to be broken and I want to try and fix that. I want to create a place that offers a simple way to follow and find the stuff that you care about, presented in a way that is easy to scan and consume. The second part of this idea is I want to build discussion around news items, as a story unfolds it gets more context and is curated in one place. The idea is in its early stages, but I do have a screenshot to share with you that gives you a very clear idea of where I am going with this
I am looking for a developer to join me building this idea. I am willing to share equity and am ideally looking for a co-founder to work alongside with. I don't really mind too much where you are located, but we are based in Melbourne, Australia. Beyond being a great coder we are looking for someone who is on the same wave length and can add value to the idea when it comes to user experience. Our technology stack is Java and JSP running on the App engine.
About me: I am a designer that has been in the industry for some time now. I believe in UX and simplicity. You can find some of my work here: http://www.jasonstrachan.com
If you are interested please contact me and I will share with you some screen-shots of the idea: oneintenthousand@gmail.com
Cheers, Jason
