Looking for an experienced iOS developer with deep server knowledge for a paid project. Node+Ruby preferred. Game center experience a plus as well. Design not required. If you've also built for Android that's a plus, but not a requirement. I always like to establish new relationships and am currently testing out a short term project. If it works out for the both of us, follow up projects may be offered. Location is irrelevant, but I have a tight timeline!
Figured I'd try this one with the HN crowd before elsewhere!
Please send links to your apps and contact info with availability and rate range to my HN name on iCloud.
The worst case is when developers owe license fees for components within apps. Pirates can literally make you pay out $0.xx per pirate... Which kills profits fast.
Congrats! Getting your first project out there is always really exciting. Even if it's hardly used... knowing you made something is an incredible feeling.
Awesome. I'll look forward to future updates. One last suggestion:
Consider incorporating sharing options when you die, or when you complete a level. Having people tweet out a link to the game (and your Twitter handle) would be great for virality.
Feel free to shoot me an email anytime you'd like! I love seeing great ideas come to life, and would be happy to give feedback on future ideas.
So this game loaded up, and here are my thoughts: (thanks for the promo code)
1.) I like the idea of a game to check Twitter. I didnt like the idea at first, but only hitting star tiles to show tweets is pretty interesting.
2.) Movements are very fluid. The slow-down effect when a Tweet shows up is just great.
3.) Have you considered as levels advance, to incorporate multiple retro-styled games? Maybe asteroids after 5 levels, etc? Of course this would require a great deal more development, but done in the same style - it would give significant reason to play the game to the end (and keep discovering hidden games)
4.) The bit graphics are done quite a bit now, and overdone in some cases. Yours are good, but I think they could be sharpened up a bit, especially for a retina display. Pixels are great, but there is a healthy blend of using colors that pop with pixel graphics (see League of Evil).
Love it! My fiancé signed up this morning and spread the word on FB. I've been thinking about this for awhile now, but in a marketplace form.
Have you decided how to monotize it? One thought I've had would be the Airbnb model, but given that it's way more niche than finding a place to stay for vacation, I think this would have to be tested with an audience who is in dire need of this. Maybe find a way to target the "babysitter" audience?
Looking forward to seeing how this progresses nonetheless! Best of luck.
I'm not too sure they'd like it. In this post: http://chrome.blogspot.com/2011/03/talking-to-your-computer-..., the big G clearly states their speech recognition is beta. I've also seen on Stack Overflow responses from Google employees insisting the API shouldn't be used for commercial applications.
It's not free, but it's at least it's guaranteed for commercial use.
I don't work for Nuance, but my startup uses their products now - and the accuracy and speed are great. The documentation is pretty horrible, so feel free to reach out w/any questions on the program/usage/etc.
I'm from the US and know the term. I was merely giving a first glance impression. This is all very relevant to conversion... Even on the homepage.
Perhaps the wording on the submit button is what's throwing me off. Something more explanatory like "View our gifts", etc. that would help drive the point home to the visitor about what clicking that button will actually do.
So I'm not quite sure who it's for from the homepage, and further - I am confused as to how brownies equate to buying expensive things at first glance. When I opened the homepage my first instinct was to get home delivered brownies on a regular basis.
Thanks knes - I've seen the dropbox.com videos, but never soluto or evernote.
Yes, only looking at "take a tour" pages. We've solidified our landing page, contact page, plans & pricing... need to put together the "magical" tour page. Tour rather than features page seems to break down idea of functionality vs. usability, and the suggestions you provided are good starters.
