I love products and love designing them. I believe that UX is the most important part of any contemporary web application. Products should be created out of need and not ideating in a vacuum. Smart startups are created on products that emerge from features that were once just 'itches' or random ideas.
I have one such idea. It arose out of a basic need for me and a dear friend of mine. We both love our iPhones but seldom agree on the apps to get. So we only had one common platform between us - The Mobile Web
Instead of raising a round of funding, I decided to build something first, so sketched out what the solution might look like. Showed it to a sample of our common friends & cleaned up the user flows till everybody 'got it'. Then I went about designing it right and tidying up things. We put our heads together and figured out the least amount of things to do to test it - Alpha Specifications.
We got another friend of mine to write some code using a mobile web framework that made sense for such a build. In 5 days, we were using our first iteration. It worked, it was wonky, but it worked. In 15 days, our Alpha 'just worked'.
Now, I want to take this to the next step. I want to work with a potential co-founder who develops for a living. So, if you get :
Startup level rapid development
Focusing on User Experience to win over users
Ten Real Users > 10,000 pageviews
Weekly feature releases using
LAMP
Node
Socket
Mongo/Redis
HTML 5
PSD/JPG -> XHTML
Google Analytics
Slicehost
Then, let's talk.
I am looking for somebody who can commit 90 days. I will guarantee the following:
100 real/active users for our product
$1,000 per month
$2,000 bonus at the end of the contract, if all = well
If this goes well, we can sit down and negotiate how you would want to proceed. I am open to paying you at a higher rate or doling out real equity in a real product startup.
I am 100% self-funded and I have done this before, I know what it takes to actually ship products to real people. I am more than willing to pay more, but I want to know that this is a decent idea and have a solid technology partner who can bring it to life. It takes about 60-90 to release an early-stage product and finesse things well enough for end-users.
I am not going to be the 'right fit' for most on here; that's good! I want that one person who just gets it - if that's you, I assure you I will do whatever it takes to make this the best product developing experience of your career so far.
