We'll Develop Your Idea Into an Android App in 24 Hours

Co-founder here. We got really, really good at building pretty decent apps in a hackathon timeframe. That&#x27;s what we&#x27;re offering - nothing more or less.<p>I&#x27;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&#x27;ll do for free.

$250 for a full day of both devs and designers, plus some kind of product manager to work through the idea? Can&#x27;t say it&#x27;s not cheap. I have my doubts you&#x27;ll end up with anything impressive though. Would be nice for someone to give it a try and post the results.<p>EDIT: To clarify, I have doubts because it is cheap. Generally a team which can build good mobile apps would have no need to try and get work for $250 a day when there are companies who would pay them 5x or 10x that - so the low price creates a feeling that the work must be low quality even if its not. You guys might be underpricing severely here...

So it looks like they are really cherry-picking the most interesting &#x2F; easy work. The 20% (time) of the 80 &#x2F; 20 rule.<p>&quot;We will only take on short, well-scoped projects at the idea &amp; sketch stage. The project size restrictions will also help you focus and scope out a truly minimal product.&quot;

A friend of mine approached this team with an app idea he had. They discussed the scope and these guys did give an estimate of 3 days.<p>Then, bizarrely enough, they said they wouldn&#x27;t be able to work on the product because they &#x27;don&#x27;t have a working android tablet&#x27;. Very strange response&#x2F;excuse indeed.<p>This is certainly a clever way for them to advertise what they have on offer on HN - but there seems to be a difference in the way they are advertising their services and the way they are responding to proposals.<p>Would like to hear from people that ended up working with them.<p>Edit: my friend was also asked by these guys if he as any &#x27;friends in bangalore than can lend them an android tablet&#x27;... I&#x27;m not sure what to make of that!

Sigh, my boss is going to wonder why I need a few weeks to develop stuff.

Interesting. Wondering about the scope they&#x27;re talking about. How many views? Local persistence? Communication with a remote API?

I assume the code is passed over once completed, so this is a good service if just to get an app off the ground...

are there any samples of client work you&#x27;ve done? really interested to see. thanks.<p>if you can share the app names in public that is..
