Hacker Wanted

I have a fairly simple idea for an application to assist with meeting planning. As far as I can tell, no one has a product out there that does what I think our app should do.

However, I'm technologically limited, I can't really program (although I've completed all the tutorials at codeacademy). I don't think it will take more than a couple weeks to build a prototype. There are several iterations that can be added to the tool, but for the beginning it's about keeping it simple to fill a need. I have resources for start-up costs and I can handle a lot of the business side of things.

If anyone is interested in talking more, let me know.

It doesn't sound interesting to me, but I might know a guy.

please pass along any contact information. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

You can contact me and I will forward :)

What will you do? What did you do so far?

As an extension to this, have you validated the idea? I ask because your phrasing is "what I think our app should do," but this could easily mean "my interpretation of customer feedback/iteration."

This doesn't matter to someone who is going to just code it up on a contract, but if you're looking for longer term or to give equity they will probably ask, or at least should.

I have not validated the idea yet, that's what I need help with doing. I think the best way to validate it is to build a prototype of some sort (it's really shouldn't be too complicated to build a simple prototype, I just don't have the skills).

I am planning on validating the idea at a startup weekend event next month.
