I like the idea. When I worked at appbackr we thought about something similar. It would be cool when there is a little more data in the about the performance of the app. I think of it like a dribble for app developers that keeps itself up to date. As we're programmers we don't want to maintain it :) You should talk to my friends from appmonsta. They have a lot of data around apps. Maybe you can work something out.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. Can you shoot me an email satjot at tapfame ?

Please provide alternatives to fb login. What are other ways to vet someone's identity or prevent outsourcing firms from creating profiles?

Linkedin maybe?

What if we let developers create portfolios without social identies. Then, if they do want to be notified about freelance gigs they would need to connect their Fb/Linkedin.

I definitely prefer Linkedin over Facebook.

The multi-stage approach could work. When a developer creates a nice profile it will probably get interest from people seeking freelancers. You can then entice developers to add social identities with something like "123 people were interested in your profile. Verify your identity and contact them today!".

I forget how eLance does the identity verification. iirc it was on the thorough side. Perhaps more work than you want to invest now but perhaps worth it later.

It looks like I have to manually enter each app's URL. I like how easy it was to try Kickfolio - just enter app names. http://kickfolio.com/

Do you know someone there? Would love to chat.

They're just querying the app store search API: http://itunes.apple.com/search?entity=software&term=$APP...

This is the same search API that Apple uses for the App Store, and returns the same order and results as Kickfolio. The first result is usually correct, but you could always double check with the developer.

Example: http://itunes.apple.com/search?entity=software&term=Shar...
