I have released two iOS apps. I have planned a third app, but it's more complex than the others, and I'd like to develop it in (relative) isolation.<p>I applied to an artist's colony. They promise a distraction-free workspace, with meals brought to your door, etc. Sadly, they did not select me to be a resident. The app will be an artistic tool (processing incoming sounds, and composing musical phrases) but I fear that app development isn't recognized as an artform yet.<p>Should I:<p>1). Apply to other art colonies?<p>2). Ask other types of organizations for help? Are there "hacker colonies" anywhere in the world?<p>3). Make my own isolation -- rent a beach house, or remote cabin, for a couple months?<p>Any advice is appreciated.
Fast internet connection might be expensive in Borneo if that is required for your work. Not an issue in Malaysian mainland/ peninsula, but isolated place in Borneo might be different.<p>This is a great idea though. Creating hacker colony in some low-cost, but internet connected place. 3-month and longer sessions available.
I'd rent a beach house in Malaysian Borneo. Parts of it are a paradise, hardly any tourists compared to somewhere like Thailand and many speak English so you can get by. It's also pretty cheap.
