I assume the code is passed over once completed, so this is a good service if just to get an app off the ground...

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.

$250 for a full day of both devs and designers, plus some kind of product manager to work through the idea? Can't say it's not cheap. I have my doubts you'll end up with anything impressive though. Would be nice for someone to give it a try and post the results. EDIT: To clarify, I have doubts because it is cheap. Generally a team which can build good mobile apps would have no need to try and get work for $250 a day…

We're based in Bangalore. I'm a product manager with 6 yrs' experience in the valley building salesforce.com's first social products & Digital Chocolate's first social games. My co-founders have worked at Yahoo, InMobi & TAT. We're offering short timeframes and low prices because we can afford to (being in India), and have no patience for negotiating rates.

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 which is a project we can take on and build, we'll do for free.

I'd love an app frontend for http://pizzacodes.com. This would basically consist of two unique pages / views:

1. A location search 'view'.

2. A Location view that would show a list of coupons for that given store.

Both of these views would use an api that I create to return the nearby stores / content.

Thanks for giving us a shot xur17. In 15 hrs, if yours is still the top post, we'll get it done :)

Sigh, my boss is going to wonder why I need a few weeks to develop stuff.

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 creators and other lean startup tools.

I don't know why Instagram or Twitter haven't done this yet, but I'd love an application that shows me the top 10 newsworthy photos on a world map (Google Maps). So in the US, I might see a few over NYC and LA or maybe another in the Gulf from a recent oil spill. The photos would change based on where I zoom in or out.

The app could look at Instagram's popular page or how many retweets/favorites the photo had on Twitter, etc.

It would be a visual guide to news. Future enhancements would see a scrolling timeline, so you could choose a date and location and see what was going on. And in a few years, the collection of photos would serve as an amazing location-based history of our world.
