Show HN: Find a co-founder or side project buddy

Me and some friends just released a new app. It is matchmaking tool for thinkers and makers. It's a MVP(Native iOS - https://itunes.apple.com/app/id883667173)

We would love some feedback on the app before launching and going into the growth state. You can also read more about our vision here: http://www.makemove.se/

Have a nice one!

Interesting project, but iOS only? Is there any reason behind that? I don't use it and don't intend to (as the majority of other geeks I know). Webapp would be a much better choice imho.

Good idea with the webapp. Thanks! / Makemove Team

I would like to use it but of course I can't (iOS). You should really launch these kind of MVP in a normal website accessible to as many browsers to have maximum audience. Here you do the opposite and target a small percentage of the world that uses iphones.

I have to agree - I know this opinion is unpopular but there are some things for which computers are still ideally suited, and this seems like one of them. Would I want to restrict my audience to the 15% or so of people who use iOS? Why does this need to be an app at all, for that matter?

Thanks for feedback! /Makemove Team

Thanks for feedback! We will think about it for the next project. For now we are doing mobile first. /Makemove Team

That's not what mobile first means.

Interesting idea, but literally everyone I know at the local hackerspace has Android or (company provided) Windows phone. Any particular reason you are only starting out with an OS commonly seen from programmers and computer folks as locked down and impossible to play with? After all, your target audience seems include people who enjoy messing around with hardware and software....

Good point. Thanks! We actually aiming for all types of entrepreneurs./Makemove Team

For all the awesome people with android: Right now we will focus solely on iOS and then come back with an amazing Android app when we feel that we are getting more close to our vision with iOS. The reason for that is that we are small team and we had to pick one device.

Thanks for your support!

I use android and don't have an iOS device, so I can't see your app. But even if you made it an android app, I wouldn't use it because I don't see any reason why I would install an app for this.

I think a website would reach the broadest audience, and I would actually try it out.

Thanks for your feedback Tatalegma

I would enthusiastically sign up for this, except I don't have an iPhone.

Soon my friend / Makemove Team

Interesting idea, looking forward to try out the Android release!

Thanks!! / Makemove Team

out of my network and out of my location is what i'm looking for. My location is my biggest problem and i need to be able to connect with people abroad.

Cool! The app is both local and global. You can choose that yourself :) /Makemove Team
