Offer HN : Is there anything I can make for you?

12 points by anujkk 14y ago

Hi! I'm taking a week off from my regular work. I wish to utilize this time to make something useful and learn something new in the process. Is there anything I can make for you? You don't need to pay anything. Ideally, I wouldn't like it to be a regular CRUD app. I am comfortable working in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, C, Python, PHP, Django, Flask, CodeIgniter but I am ready to learn and do it in any technology if feasible. My email is in my profile.

We need a change made to some open source software we use, but it would be Objective-C/iOS coding. Interested?

  Sorry buddy. I can't do Objective-C/iOS work. I don't have a mac.

  Just out of curiosity what change to what open source software were you looking for?
  - tstegart 14y ago
    We're looking to make a change to Baker (https://github.com/simbul/baker https://github.com/simbul/baker) an open source tool for publishing books and magazines on the iPad. Its a hybrid app, so it allows people to create their magazine or book in HTML/CSS and then wraps it up into an app. Its pretty sweet actually, the people behind it do a really great job. The limitation we're trying to get around is that you can only include one issue (or book) inside your app binary, and any additional ones need to be downloaded at a later date. We'd like to be able to include multiple issues of our magazine up front, since the issues are small and it will save us the cost of setting up a server (at least for a bit). Plus the user won't have to be connected to the internet to get more issues, which is a nice feature of people are traveling, on a plane, etc.
