17 points by tagabek 13y ago

Hi HN, My name is Taylor and I built QuickChat - an app similar to Snapchat - in 5 days to challenge myself. I shared the entire process publicly on my blog, taylorbeck.me, and I have received amazing support and feedback from everyone following along. The source code is available here: https://github.com/tagabek/QuickChat I am also a full-time iOS consultant, and am actively looking for work. Feel free to connect with me via email.

Nice. How long to get millions of users?

  I'm not looking to compete with Snapchat any time soon. I have my consulting/book business that happily takes most of my time.

    I want to see your app take off because I'm a Snapchat hater.

      While I have nothing against Snapchat - I would love to have $3 billion offers for my startup - I think that they have opened up a new market (or dramatically expanded an existing one) for app creators.

This looks great Taylor. You had offered me some feedback about getting into freelancing a while back, so I knew the username looked familiar. Great work!
