Re: Offer HN: I will build what you design
#12I'm working on a project, having taught myself programming over the years, in PHP and Javascript/HTML5. I'm finding my biggest problem isn't the actual coding, but program architecture. How do I build something that isn't just functional for my own needs, but that others can use and understand. I've started fresh 5 or 6 times now, and I'm definitely getting closer to "right" but it's still a battle. I think part of m…
Could you be a bit more specific about your idea? I could recommend a few resources that i've used to help me.

#13I'm in more or less the same situation. Have you seen this? http://twiststartupeffect.com/ Developers are always short of interesting things to work on and business guys are always short of developers. There's a lot of potential for the connection process to be improved.
I'm not really looking for a business guy (I'm a business guy turned developer/entrepreneur) as much as im looking for a designer who needs some help.
Thanks for the suggestion though!

A pretty basic mobile messaging application. Data is stored on a server, options are displayed, content is loaded and sent, etc, etc. Nothing really special.
Some of my biggest hurdles faced so far: - After days of banging my head against a wall, I learned HTML5's sessionStorage doesn't actually store objects - just single key/value pairs. - Minor jQuery typos that didn't register an error, but never did what it was supposed to. - (ongoing) Dealing with jQuery Mobile weirdness when loading dynamic content when an AJAX call has yet to complete.
I'm also looking at incorporating the PhoneGap framework so I can access some of the mobile hardware. We'll take that when we get to it.

Ajax stuff can definatly make you pull your hair out.
I don't know too much about HTML5. I haven't had time to play with it but i think that you should take a look at node.js.
It could be what you're looking for.

These opportunities are great. Curious if there are any other communities like that out there. That site seems to be on a 6 month hiatus.
