The Core77 designer challenge just released their results.
I'm one of the finalists for an app idea called InspirEngine. An earlier design incarnation of this app previously won the WPAppItUp Challenge and was featured as one of their favorties.
It's basically a get things done app with a social and gaming twist. You get points for living life, you climb ranks, there's a leaderboard. That's one of the functions - You get the idea!
In the spirit of Core77 - it'll be 50-50 split between design and development for any revenue the app gets. And I aim for a before-10th feb release. Since the first 25 finalists who get their app to the marketplace will get, well, dev phones, an apphub subscription, and lots of publicity.
So well, it can be a the start of a mutually beneficial relationship.
Incentives:
1) The app's obviously done well for itself based on design alone, so it's not a risky investment.
2) If we get it out in time, we get phones and a year's subscription. You get to keep the subscription in your name. I've got mine lined up for about 3 years now.
2) It's already got some exposure - I have people asking me about it.
3) It's an exciting holiday project!
4) I'm pretty open minded about everything, so, the design isn't rigid or anything.
I'm looking for:
1) Someone awesome at doing all the coding and everything (we'll probably need some sort of online backend, social network integration, push notifs etc.) So someone who can handle all that.
2) Someone in London, UK. Nearby is alright, but someone who can travel to Zones 1 and 2 regularly would be nice.
4) I want the app to be more fun than businessy, so someone who shares that vision about life.
Just a bit of a primer: I'm a student of linguistics at king's college london. This creates a dichotomy. The idea of a student driven project is appealing, so students in london, shoot me an email! Conversely, someone who can teach me the ropes of the trade is exciting, so pro devs with time on their hands and no surefire idea, please send me an email!
