SEEKING FREELANCER - Spurfly - Palo Alto, CA or Arlington, VA - LOCAL or REMOTE

    • Designer (Android and iOS primarily, as well as web)

    • Front-end developer for desktop web and/or mobile web
If you happen to be both of the above, that'd be awesome. Help us scale and meet demand for real-time location-aware planning. Our focus is on groups and events ("spur of the moment, on the fly"). We've launched the first version of our iOS app and are working on a web and Android version.

The founders are straight shooters who value clear communication and getting stuff done. We're obssessed with creating a product that fills what we see as a major hole in social networking software -- helping people more efficiently connect in real-life with close networks so they can spend more of their time building and enriching real relationships.

Technologies:

    • frontend: coffeescript, jQuery, backbone.js, socket.io, compass

    • backend: python, django, gevent, gunicorn, nginx, postgresql
Immediate front-end needs include many web design tasks and coffeescript/js templates for our single-page architecture web site. We're also on the lookout for a good mobile app designer to help us design our first Android release and update our iOS app UI as we gather feedback from users.

Support what's going to potentially be a wild ride as we do launch events over the next few months.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Sure, it's easier for us developers, but every PhoneGap app I've seen looks like trash compared to other iOS apps. And I completely agree with your last sentence. PhoneGap is the right choice for some cases.

"... every PhoneGap app I've seen looks like trash compared to other iOS apps" That's because the you don't notice the good ones. ;)

Fair point. I'd be thankful if you could mention a few of them.

Thanks :)

Seeking work - SF Bay Area / Remote

I'm available to work on embedded Linux, microcontroller firmware and hardware design (electronics/PCB) projects. I'm also interested in junior level Rails, Node.js or Backbone.js work as I'm currently coding production apps in all three and would like to expose myself to more real-world applications. I'm well versed in BDD, TDD, Git etc, and can quickly learn any other stuff that's needed.

My strongest programming languages are C and Ruby, but I also program in Python, CoffeeScript, JavaScript, Objective-C and C++. Please shoot me an email if interested and I'll send you more info on my work: eaurouge0@gmail.com.
