#2Sigh, my boss is going to wonder why I need a few weeks to develop stuff.

#3Interesting. Wondering about the scope they're talking about. How many views? Local persistence? Communication with a remote API?

#4So it looks like they are really cherry-picking the most interesting / easy work. The 20% (time) of the 80 / 20 rule.
"We will only take on short, well-scoped projects at the idea & sketch stage. The project size restrictions will also help you focus and scope out a truly minimal product."

You can outsource your work before he does.

#6$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 when there are companies who would pay them 5x or 10x that - so the low price creates a feeling that the work must be low quality even if its not. You guys might be underpricing severely here...

I guess we're looking for well-scoped projects that are within what we are able to execute. We're a team of 4, and we can get quite a lot done, including UX and backend instead of just an app. What you get is 4 specialists who will focus on your project for a short amount of time, and what they think they're capable of executing.

#8Co-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.

We don't want to narrow down scope to very discrete things. We're a tight-knit team, and we've built many things in a 24hr timeframe. We regularly win practically every hackathon in Bangalore. So odds are, we'll often find a way to do things.
That said, we're probably not the best suited for projects were prior context is important, such as integrating with an existing private API.

The final 20% always takes the longest...
