I'm not interested in being a co-founder, but I'm SUPER interested in talking about what you're doing. I think maybe we can help each other. We're seeing a lot of the same things, have a lot of the same goals, but don't really compete. tommy@paidez.com

Do you want to completely change the way that native mobile apps are developed? I'm looking for a co-founder for Neonto, join me on this trip: http://neonto.com The product is a native Mac app. It's close to alpha stage, and I'm confident that there will be a usable beta in a few months. (Much of the code is recycled from a previous project of mine, Radi [1], so there's a proven foundation.) The company has a tiny pr…

Is that for designing cross-platform, just Android, or is it better than XCode in some way?

Cross-platform native code generation: Objective-C for iOS, Java for Android. The tool itself works only on Mac - it still needs Xcode for building and deploying to the App Store, so a Windows version wouldn't be useful.

The big difference from Xcode is that Neonto Studio is completely visual. It's for designers. It's not an IDE; there's no code editor, no property bindings, or any of those things that make Xcode / Interface Builder so intimidating.

The generated code is therefore basically the view / view-controller side of an app. A programmer can easily integrate it into a project, and it saves a lot of time compared to doing the same work in code.

There's also a whole class of content-centric apps that can be done completely within this tool: books, video apps, music albums... Anything that's self-contained, doesn't need a server and doesn't have complex business logic.

Tech Recruitment is a $ 25 Billion market in the U.S. that hasn't innovated much in the last 20 years (besides recruiters getting more expensive).

I'm looking for 2 co-founders in exchange for significant equity. The two roles: One developer to help me further with the backend, and one sales person/growth hacker (preferably in US) who can help us gain momentum.

Full info of my startup: http://likewise.io

Your website design needs work. I don't want to wait a long time for single words to appear.

I take it you don't find the video appealing to watch on its own?

I guess I wanted the teaser site to reflect the product's output: it's a tool for creating mobile apps with high visual impact and motion graphics style, so the website is also like that (perhaps to the point of being form over function).

Got it, that's what I was assuming it was. That's very cool. Will it handle screen sizes, scroll views, tablet vs. phone, etc? If not, I can't give my design team this tool then code from their views, it just won't work. My Storyboards look nothing like what comes out, because I have to do so much manipulation of the views to fit all the screens I need and to do Scroll View bullshit.

If you solve that, I'd use it and I'm a coder not a designer. Regardless, that is a REALLY exciting idea. It's one of those things where an 80% solution won't cut it which always worries me (that's what WYSIWYG web design tools rarely catch on) but a 100% solution doesn't seem impossible.

Shameless Plug. We have a site that helps you find your next cofounders at http://getcofounder.com

sorry this site doesn't look very good designed and a thread usually provides more value to me.

I understand your intention, however your double negative currently says you like the site.

I'm currently trying to release things on CodeCanyon.net so I could self-fund my start-ups. If there's anyone who also works independently it might be helpful to show each other our current projects. It doesn't matter if you do code/artwork/marketing - if we get along maybe we could do a small project together.

I'm also open to applying to tech incubators this Spring. My ideas are a little unorthodox so I'd probably need someone more grounded to get into an incubator.

Yeah, support for various tablet and phone screen sizes is a core feature. I'm trying to keep it as close to a traditional desktop publishing workflow as possible while still respecting the interactive nature of the medium.

Personally I don't like the built-in autolayout solutions on iOS and Android at all. The latter is too limited, while the constraint system on iOS is over-engineered and difficult to reason about. Since neither platform provides a designer-friendly solution, I feel there's a good opportunity for a third party here.
