Ask HN: Requesting a Few Hackers to Volunteer
1 comments
I did some geo-coding a while ago but anything large scale is going to be costly as all the APIs have non-trivial fees for > hobbiest usage. Have you asked any geo-coding companies for free access? I bookmarked this site a few days ago because I still have a few itches I'd scratch if it didn't cost me an arm and a leg ... it should give you some idea of what a large-scale deployment of your application would cost - https://getlon.lat/.
I'd be interested in helping with your effort but I think you should describe your architecture and technology choices a bit. How do I know if I'll fit in? (and if you want to launch quickly, now isn't the time to have engineers learning on-the-job).

Thank you for the feedback. Sent you an email.
I need a few hackers to volunteer their time to help me code and throw something up online.
I will provide funding for servers.
Skills desired: Geocoding/image manipulation/twilio api/etc
This is purely a nonprofit social project. If you are able, please contact me at p2pfoodproject at google's email service.
I will post an update to HN community once we have an MVP up and going.
