Gift HN: I'll build your project/MVP for free

2 pointsby jonas_bover 11 years ago
First of all, thank you HN for getting me started on my dream of being a coder. I started november last year with Udacity&#x27;s CS 101 and followed up with Steve Huffmans Web Development course. For the past year I&#x27;ve been learning Javascript and played around a little bit with Django and Objective-C building projects for friends, and I&#x27;m really having a lot fun with it.<p>I was recently about to embark on my first large challenge of helping a friend build a dating site for a niche market, but he pulled out in the last minute. So now I have two months with a lot of spare time which I&#x27;d like to focus on doing a fun programming project. Unfortunately I don&#x27;t have any good ideas atm and I rather help somebody with a real problem.<p>So my offer is: If you have a real problem you&#x27;d like to solve, or a product&#x2F;app you&#x27;d like to create, I&#x27;d be happy to help you out. My main condition is that this is something you really will want to use, so I can get feedback from real users. I make no guarantees regarding code quality, it&#x27;ll most probably look like spaghetti under the hood. My biggest strength is just that I love coding (and am good at googling), especially for people who really need it.<p>I have no idea if this is a good idea or not, but I thought it could be worth a try. Merry Christmas :)<p>&#x2F;&#x2F;Jonas mail: bolin dot jonas at gmail dot com

Would you be willing to work on Ugly Crush, a fun dating website idea I had but no time to do it.. The problem is that dating is boring and everyone has fake photoshopped&#x2F;instagrammed pictures of himself. The idea is to make people put pics of themselves where they are not in their advantage,

No matter what you do - be sure to post it up on HN (maybe even blog about it as you go). Would love to see what you end up with :)
