Yes. The only thing really difficult that you want to do is syncing, which can be done by a competent developer.
Don't forget, though, that there needs to be some time spent designing a winning interface. You don't want users to have to type in markup with the keyboard; you need an intuitive way to do that on a mobile device. Little touches like that are the difference between something people use and something they don't use, and going through that process takes some time.
- mistermann 17y agoIf by markup, I assume you mean bolding text, things like that, or did you mean something else? I suppose that would be nice, I guess the iPhone doesn't come with a native rich text editor of some sort? So do you happen to know anyone that might be interested ina project of this nature??
- drewcrawford 17y agoWell you mentioned forums and project editing, I naturally assumed there would be some sort of bbcode (or html, or equivalent) for markup. Typing that on an iphone keyboard would be a real PITA. No, there's no rich text editor of any sort. You've got plain text entry and you can render HTML in Safari. That's it. Sorry, I don't. I'm "booked", in the sense that I have too many projects of my own to take on any new clients. All the other developers I know are in the same boat. Like I said above, try cold-calling people who have done something similar.
