Ask HN: Checkout my startup. And anybody in Calgary?
I created Formlis to simplify custom CRUD development. It's an online database that's like a Wiki. In addition to regular wiki syntax, you can use a bar of underlines to create fill-in-he-blank fields. Pages with blanks can save data which you can review using 'views' -- predefined reports you can create. The tutorials cover syntax for pages and views --- the goal was to make both simple enough for an average user.
I hoped to have a handful of early adopters while I added per-user security, file uploads, page revisions, etc. But I'm not well connected and can't become connected without losing programming time. Instead I've got a big update coming that I hope will be easier to administer and let me implement a 0-touch sales model.
The software works, it's being lightly used by my dad, and it's time to put together a team (and eventually present to investors). I'm looking for good programmers in Calgary who will work for stock. If you like Lisp and Forth so much the better.
