bullricoon Show HN: gig-finding app for freelancers

Thanks. Sprucing up the splash pages is next, putting on my marketing hat after some sleep :)

bullricoon Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (February 2012)

SEEKING WORK - Remote

Combo designer/developer (more front-end). I am a generalist who can sketch and design your UI, turn that into a prototype, wire it to the backend and deploy it. Though I work best (fastest?) when I'm working on the front-end, I am not afraid to dive in and mess with models.

* Ruby on Rails

* CoffeeScript

* Backbone

* jQuery, jQueryMobile

* HTML5/CSS3/Haml/SASS/Compass

* Git

bullricoon Show HN: land that gig by making a great first impression. Feedback appreciated.

They can use their own email address, although a temporary @impressar.io address is built-in - just to add a layer of protection (against spam). If you reply to the @impressar.io address, it gets shown in the Messages section.

Send them over to bobby [at] impressar.io. Response has been good so far, I'm hoping people can make good use of it when the monthly "Who's hiring" thread comes out next week.

Thanks for the feedback. The churn rate is a concern, I'm hoping to discover useful features to add that can make the app more enticing to keep around.

bullricoon Ask HN: where are the UI designers in HN?

True, true. I design/code UI (Ruby/HAML/SASS) and also design/code my own apps (http://mockaroo.com, a prototyping app and http://findmycofounder.com, cofounder dating).

bullricoon Ask HN: Site/service connecting startup concepts w/ hackers for co-founding?

I coded up an app for this a few of months ago - http://findmycofounder.com

bullricoon Cofounder Google Doc-inspired app - in 24 hours

Just click the "Add my cofounder wish list" link in the home page. We're uploading the contents of the Google doc at the moment. Let me know if you encounter any errors.

bullricoon Co-founder Google Doc - stage 2 (a semantic wiki)

We launched a similar app over the weekend (loved the idea of a cofounder meeting site), it's at http://findmycofounder.com/. We based the design on the comment thread (well, most of it). We added searching by geography, skills, primary focus, etc. It's an evolving thing, so suggestions are more than welcome.

bullricoon Do you need a co-founder? (Google Docs list)

This looked very interesting, so we coded up an app based on some of the comments - it's at findmycofounder.com, more details on Twitter (@FindMyCofounder). We figured we could launch this in 24 hours or so, do try it out in a couple of hours.
