I'm going to offer a freebie for HN users - the top reply to this comment which is a project we can take on and build, we'll do for free.
The app could look at Instagram's popular page or how many retweets/favorites the photo had on Twitter, etc.
It would be a visual guide to news. Future enhancements would see a scrolling timeline, so you could choose a date and location and see what was going on. And in a few years, the collection of photos would serve as an amazing location-based history of our world.
I would like to:
1. Use a Google drive account as our shared storage space.
2. Be able to drag and drop files, images, links, maybe drawings to a widget that we each have on our phone. Maybe just having a separate option appear that says "send to widget thing" would be more reasonable.
3. I would like a notification to appear along with led notification. I would prefer to choose how the notification appears.
1. A location search 'view'.
2. A Location view that would show a list of coupons for that given store.
Both of these views would use an api that I create to return the nearby stores / content.
EDIT: To clarify, I have doubts because it is cheap. Generally a team which can build good mobile apps would have no need to try and get work for $250 a day when there are companies who would pay them 5x or 10x that - so the low price creates a feeling that the work must be low quality even if its not. You guys might be underpricing severely here...
"We will only take on short, well-scoped projects at the idea & sketch stage. The project size restrictions will also help you focus and scope out a truly minimal product."
Then, bizarrely enough, they said they wouldn't be able to work on the product because they 'don't have a working android tablet'. Very strange response/excuse indeed.
This is certainly a clever way for them to advertise what they have on offer on HN - but there seems to be a difference in the way they are advertising their services and the way they are responding to proposals.
Would like to hear from people that ended up working with them.
Edit: my friend was also asked by these guys if he as any 'friends in bangalore than can lend them an android tablet'... I'm not sure what to make of that!
That said, we're probably not the best suited for projects were prior context is important, such as integrating with an existing private API.
if you can share the app names in public that is..
