Co-founder here. We got really, really good at building pretty decent apps in a hackathon timeframe. That's what we're offering - nothing more or less.

I'm going to offer a freebie for HN users - the top reply to this comment which is a project we can take on and build, we'll do for free.

I don't know why Instagram or Twitter haven't done this yet, but I'd love an application that shows me the top 10 newsworthy photos on a world map (Google Maps). So in the US, I might see a few over NYC and LA or maybe another in the Gulf from a recent oil spill. The photos would change based on where I zoom in or out.

The app could look at Instagram's popular page or how many retweets/favorites the photo had on Twitter, etc.

It would be a visual guide to news. Future enhancements would see a scrolling timeline, so you could choose a date and location and see what was going on. And in a few years, the collection of photos would serve as an amazing location-based history of our world.

This sounds like a really cool idea. We gave the freebie to someone else, but if you want to pay to have this developed, we can certainly do that for you.

I want a widget that I can use on my android phone to link things to my wife. I imagine something like this already exists,I just don't know what it would be called.

I would like to:

1. Use a Google drive account as our shared storage space.

2. Be able to drag and drop files, images, links, maybe drawings to a widget that we each have on our phone. Maybe just having a separate option appear that says "send to widget thing" would be more reasonable.

3. I would like a notification to appear along with led notification. I would prefer to choose how the notification appears.

What about something like pushbullet? It doesn't have a widget like you described, but it allows you to easily send files, links, etc to each other (you can send to 'friends' now too).

I'd love an app frontend for http://pizzacodes.com. This would basically consist of two unique pages / views:

1. A location search 'view'.

2. A Location view that would show a list of coupons for that given store.

Both of these views would use an api that I create to return the nearby stores / content.
