Ask HN: Anyone in Berlin and free today to code a new iOS app with me?

5 points·taigeair··6 comments

Probably not the right use for HN but I want to get an iOS app out the door today but can't alone, so was hoping to get hyper productive with someone with free time and iOS skills in Berlin. Just a test to see if HN can be used in this way.

Translation: I am an idea guy and need a code monkey for free!

Upvoted. Agreed. If you have an idea, invest the time and learn to code. Don't expect people to work for free.

Time isn't free!

I'm investing the time and am learning Swift. I just want to be more productive and do it with people. It's annoying to struggle with something when a mentor can save you minutes and hours. I don't know where you got the idea I want to get people to work for free. I guess that's a prejudice when you see don't see someone list developer on their profile and it's a popular thing to say these days.

Either way, I'm happy to say I got a big chunk of the work done, but only 25-33% of what I had hoped.

Cheers,

I'd recommend at least adding contact info into the 'about' section of your profile. Right now you have none. (The email field is only shown to admins).

Thanks for the advice. I'm a product manager at tech company. Here's my blog: http://www.taigeair.com/

What is the upside for the volunteer?

(Not me as I am not in Berlin, I am not free today, and I don't code iOS apps).
