For a new project, I spent 1.5 hours in Balsamiq and 6 more implementing the mockup with bootstrap in rails 3.1. The end result is quite nice looking functional prototype that's already in a good place to start building the actual app upon.

I'm building an API on top of MTurk, http://houdinihq.com , that you could use. It's currently in alpha, but feel free to email me at presto@houdinihq.com if you're interested in an api key.
