We can share the ones that we have developed ourselves: (https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Ideophone&hl...) 1. One Touch SOS & variants (we have some country specific variants with local police/security integrations). 2. Suruk: a user-configurable tuktuk/taxi meter, to double check that you're not being cheated. Some versions with adequate usage also give crowdsourced estimates of average distance between points. 3. Kopa is a whitelabel Ride sharing app targeted at events 4. DroidJuice plots and graphs your battery usage online (without draining your battery itself), and lets you send automatic "low battery" messages to a predefined receiver list or FB.

I'll be honest about the things we probably can't do. Games, for one. Enterprise apps that need access to private APIs are another. I could probably go on, but you get the drift. We're on the same page as landing page creators and other lean startup tools.

We're based in Bangalore. I'm a product manager with 6 yrs' experience in the valley building salesforce.com's first social products & Digital Chocolate's first social games. My co-founders have worked at Yahoo, InMobi & TAT. We're offering short timeframes and low prices because we can afford to (being in India), and have no patience for negotiating rates.

Yes, we deliver code & assets once the product is completed. You have exactly the right idea - we help get the product off the ground, and create quick MVPs.

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.

Co-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.

I don't know why Instagram or Twitter haven't done this yet, but I'd love an application that shows me the top 10 newsworthy photos on a world map (Google Maps). So in the US, I might see a few over NYC and LA or maybe another in the Gulf from a recent oil spill. The photos would change based on where I zoom in or out.

The app could look at Instagram's popular page or how many retweets/favorites the photo had on Twitter, etc.

It would be a visual guide to news. Future enhancements would see a scrolling timeline, so you could choose a date and location and see what was going on. And in a few years, the collection of photos would serve as an amazing location-based history of our world.

This sounds like a really cool idea. We gave the freebie to someone else, but if you want to pay to have this developed, we can certainly do that for you.

I want a widget that I can use on my android phone to link things to my wife. I imagine something like this already exists,I just don't know what it would be called.

I would like to:

1. Use a Google drive account as our shared storage space.

2. Be able to drag and drop files, images, links, maybe drawings to a widget that we each have on our phone. Maybe just having a separate option appear that says "send to widget thing" would be more reasonable.

3. I would like a notification to appear along with led notification. I would prefer to choose how the notification appears.

What about something like pushbullet? It doesn't have a widget like you described, but it allows you to easily send files, links, etc to each other (you can send to 'friends' now too).

This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

I'd love an app frontend for http://pizzacodes.com. This would basically consist of two unique pages / views:

1. A location search 'view'.

2. A Location view that would show a list of coupons for that given store.

Both of these views would use an api that I create to return the nearby stores / content.

Thanks for giving us a shot xur17. In 15 hrs, if yours is still the top post, we'll get it done :)

Ok, you're on. Let's connect over email? Mine's kingsley@ideophone.in .

Excellent, can't wait to get started! I'll send you an email tonight to connect.

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.

Like already mentioned, not new. I used to this to QA-test and bot Farmville-style flash games when I was working on that (~3-4 yrs ago).

It's particularly good for situations where you know what you're expecting to see, but you don't know when or where it will appear.

Public folders don't work consistently in countries that Dropbox has deemed a piracy risk. Doesn't work in India, for example.

I'm just scared that doing more complex stuff will turn our current, simple, app into a bit of a battery hog itself :) But I think Android does a decent amount of that for you.
