Notion is a new company focused on becoming the central location for teams and companies to talk about data and make date-driven decisions.
You’re ready to be a key player at a startup using the latest in backend and front-end technologies to provide better insights for workers like us to make better decisions when building products, systems, and businesses. Come join our startup team with a track record of success to create your perfect future.
Here’s what we’re looking for:
Be a leader of product development. You should be able to work independently, as well as mentor more junior developers. You’ll play a critical role in defining timelines and development approaches.
Act as a voice of the customer and product. We believe design and engineering coexist side-by-side, so you’ll work closely with us on user experience, design, and technology – not just on technical feasibility, but creative possibilities. This is your opportunity to create an amazing product and see it grow beyond even what we can imagine.
A generalist that loves the details. You believe in writing maintainable backend and front-end performant code that is well organized. You believe in tests and testing. You see the web as just another client and want to push the limits on what’s possible.
Love a challenge. Embrace risk. We know startups aren’t for everyone, and so do you.
Requirements:
* Strong command of core backend (Ruby, Java, Scala, Python, Go) and front-end (HTML5, Javascript, JSON) technologies
* Confidence in designing APIs and interfaces
* Worked with REST APIs and comfortable with the whole request / response lifecycle.
* Strong understanding of JQuery and DOM manipulation techniques
* Experience developing complex applications
* Experience integrating data from third-party APIs
* Expert debugging skills
Here are some “nice-to-haves”:
* Exposure to true agile methodologies
* Familiarity with automated build tools and Continuous Integration
* Understanding of what it takes to implement an application with cross-browser support

This is your opportunity to create an amazing product and see it grow beyond even what we can imagine.
A generalist that loves the details. You love front-end development, but are just as comfortable server-side. You believe in writing maintainable, performant code. You believe in tests and testing. You see the web as just another client and want to push the limits of what’s possible. You know what it takes to scale a team, and you're interested in sharing your knowledge to help make that happen.
Love a challenge. Embrace risk. We know startups aren’t for everyone, and so do you. We don’t have to put in 80hr work weeks, but you know that fixing that last bug matters and means a huge win for our latest customer; that we’ll try a lot of new things and some will work, some will not; that we’re building the best team you’ve ever been a member of.
Requirements:
* Strong command of core front-end (HTML5, Javascript, JSON) and backend (Ruby, Python, Go) technologies
* Confidence in designing clean, intuitive APIs and useful abstractions
* Worked with REST APIs and comfortable with the whole request / response lifecycle.
* Strong understanding of JQuery and DOM manipulation techniques
* Experience developing complex applications
* Experience integrating data from third-party APIs
* Expert debugging skills
* Awareness of security topics and an interest in building secure solutions

Thanks. It's good to compare vs our pay-to-play app. We've been getting consistent downloads and plays and broke into the top 50/100s in some countries over the past week.
Yup, their solution was our first thought as well. The biggest problem is half our game is about ordering colors based on the color wheel. So Red Orange Yellow.
That doesn't pose the same challenge if that run corresponds to Square, Circle, Triangle. Trying to remember a sequence based on random shapes seems too unrelated. We'll need to do some tests with color saturation most likely.
Both points are great feedback on elements that I think we've struggled with during development by being so close to it.
I think we've overestimated peoples knowledge of the color wheel. The data is certainly showing it to. Scores from our beta rounds were much better than the first couple days. My assumption there is the beta users got used to the color wheel over time. Your idea of a hint during the first view rounds is a great one.
Also, for the challenges, were you only trying to complete the challenge? This is another point that I think users are struggling with. Completing the challenge is a bonus, but it's certainly not the only goal. If the challenge says "Clear 10 sets of 5", you can still clear out sets or runs of 3 until you are blue in the face. Challenges aren't required.
This is my first game published in the App Store and was made with the help of a developer friend, Chris. It's a simple interface but an incredibly challenging game.
Would love to hear feedback. We'll also be doing a post-mortem on our first few weeks in the App Store for those who enjoy that type of thing.
Here are a few promo codes. First come, first serve.
This may get a down voted because I'm new to commenting, but I figured adding a comment was better than starting a "Show HN" thread.
My buddy and I created a web/iPhone app that is great for people trying to get fit but struggle doing it because they can't find the motivation. So for those who are motivated by Ryan's story and are looking for additional tools, maybe give it a try.
http://1upfit.com allows you to compete against friends in simple workout challenges. Pushups, pull-ups, running, swimming, etc. We are actually in beta testing right now for tracking a weight loss challenge similar to what Ryan did above. (We both recently completed a slow carb diet, which is very similar.)
Training by yourself or changing dietary habits by yourself can be hard and sometimes you don't have the people around to properly motivate you. My brother is an Ironman but lives in Colorado (I'm in Portland) so it's hard to say "Hey let's go for a run". By using the app though, I can see every time he runs and it motivates me to go out and do it too, for fear of losing a competition to my brother.
Mexican, even Chipotle will work. Get a burrito bowl. Substitute the rice for more veggies. No tortilla. Beans, veggies, meat, and fresh salsa. It's right in line with most of the diets. Pretty low carbs. I just completed a month of the Slow Carb diet by doing this. Lost 20 lbs.
