Ask HN: Searching old post: make startup prototype in 9K$. Anyone bookmarked it?

Few days back someone had posted that they will make startup protoype for 9k USD. I am searching that post. Can anyone help me in finding that?

View on HN

OK, I found this:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10335742

    Show HN: I will build your prototype web app for $4K (bhsiao.com)

and this:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10368190

    We'll build you a prototype web app for $4242 in two weeks (webappdock.com)

Both have subsequently been deleted, and both are much more than a few days old. No other title that has the substring "proto" or "build" in it looks vaguely relevant, and without more clues, I don't have any way to help you.

Good luck.

Nope none of this. Is there a way to search HN profiles? He was BITS Pilani India Student.

Not that I know of.

Thanks for helping out. Hope will find that out soon.

There are 2900 different usernames have submitted items in the last 6 days or so. You could download all their profiles and check.

2132 of them were unique submissions, and one person has submitted 109 items in the last 6 days. The others, of course, range in between.

Oh, excellent! It's rather more than "a few days" old though! I would never have found that, but glad you found it.

This one?

Scarcely "a few" days back, but it seems to match your rather loose criteria.

Nope not that: https://code4startup.com/ it was something like this. Run by BITS Pilani student.

A few questions:

* What have you tried?

* Are you sure it was 9?

* How accurate is your estimate of when it was?

* Did they use the word "prototype"?

* Did they use the word "startup"?

* Are there any other words you are absolutely sure of?

* Was it a submission of a link, or just text?

I dont remember exact things :( Thats why I posted this. I had searched once before posting.
