Great example of what Guy Kawasaki (and many others to be fair) have been preaching for quite some time now. If you have a web-based idea there's really no excuse not to give it a shot.
Related to this great post I also suggest 1) the StartupTools wiki (started by the awesome guys at Songkick) http://startuptools.pbwiki.com/ http://startuptools.pbwiki.com/ and 2) a post I read last night about how to hire a programmer to make your idea happen (http://sivers.org/how2hire http://sivers.org/how2hire).
I agree that this app is going to face fierce competition from well funded companies, but the accomplishment so far is great so congrats and best of luck!
- stefanobernardi 16y agoDerek's post is one of the best to date about hiring programmers for short projects or outsourcing purposes. I still believe the best way to hire tech talent is to develop relationships as you'll have to trust the guy with your product and IP. Meet people at ruby-python-whatever user groups, find people you could comfortably live with and then try to work together on something.
