This sounds like a really cool idea. We gave the freebie to someone else, but if you want to pay to have this developed, we can certainly do that for you.

I'll be honest about the things we probably can't do. Games, for one. Enterprise apps that need access to private APIs are another. I could probably go on, but you get the drift. We're on the same page as landing page creator

Yes, we deliver code & assets once the product is completed. You have exactly the right idea - we help get the product off the ground, and create quick MVPs.

We don't want to narrow down scope to very discrete things. We're a tight-knit team, and we've built many things in a 24hr timeframe. We regularly win practically every hackathon in Bangalore. So odds are, we'll often fi

Co-founder here. We got really, really good at building pretty decent apps in a hackathon timeframe. That's what we're offering - nothing more or less. I'm going to offer a freebie for HN users - the top reply to this comment

I guess we're looking for well-scoped projects that are within what we are able to execute. We're a team of 4, and we can get quite a lot done, including UX and backend instead of just an app. What you get is 4 specialists who wil

Like already mentioned, not new. I used to this to QA-test and bot Farmville-style flash games when I was working on that (~3-4 yrs ago). It's particularly good for situations where you know what you're expecting to see, but you don't know

Public folders don't work consistently in countries that Dropbox has deemed a piracy risk. Doesn't work in India, for example.

I'm just scared that doing more complex stuff will turn our current, simple, app into a bit of a battery hog itself :) But I think Android does a decent amount of that for you.

OP and co-founder here. Anenth and Sandeep hacked this up at Droidcon Bangalore Hacknight last weekend, and we polished it a bit since then. We have lots of tweaks/improvements planned for it, including: * Auto-posting (via server) to FB/Tw

This is an American usage of the word "asian", which excludes subcontinentals. Interestingly, my wife and I grew up on milk in India (to adulthood), but found ourselves mildly lactose-intolerant to American milk. Edit: changed "includes" to

Indian railways employs a number of methods. The most primitive fallback is the one where the station master updates the system whenever a train passes the station, whether or not it stops there.

When I attempted to "facebook like" this page, the preview displays "Find MSN Hotmail Hacker, Cash Advance and more at Hackerface.com. Get the best of Debt Consolidation or Insu...". OP might want to fix that.

Baroque is characterised by the ornamentation of every detail. Which is why I suggest the term "ornamentation".

I would invest the same way (focus on users in developed economies) if it were my startup - but Google isn't a startup. When you have two of the BRIC economies sewn up in a social network, AND you have cash to stay for the long game, I thin

I resent the digs at Orkut. It was a great community - if you were Brazilian or Indian. That Google chose not to run with it says more about their lack of long term social vision and parochialism than about the health of the community itsel
