Do you need Front end? I'm looking for early adopters for my startup

Hi HN,

I'm looking for people, who need web frontend for SaaS application — you may be just starting new startup, or thinking to redesign current, or just have cool technology and need frontend for it.

Let's collaborate. I'm developing http://frontendus.com.

Frontend as a Service. I need feedback and early adopters. As an early adopter, you will have advantage of free UI developers, who will develop frontendus features specially for you.

Please contact me, and feel free to ask any questions.

Interesting idea...not sure how much it applies to me. I have my product (www.petworkslabs.com) up and running on basic bootstrap but feels it needs a bit of UX work. I can give your product a shot if you think it might help my product. Also, you have a typo on your home page (on the green button)

I checked your product, nice idea! I believe, this is exactly type of product, when frontendus can help. Thanks for pointing to typo. Could you send me email at frontenduscom gmail , so we can chat?

This is exactly the sort of thing I am looking for my SaaS. I'm awful at front end and i'm using a few templates at the moment but it could be greatly improved. You can contact me on my username at gmail.

What do you deliver? A set of JS+CSS+HTML files for deployment? A hosted solution on a custom domain or subdomain? Or something else?

Currently a hosted solution on a custom domain or subdomain.

Are you using any existing front-end frameworks or libraries, or have you created something entirely new?

I'm using mostly React.js on frontend.

So, for CSS and such nothing like Bootstrap, or Foundation, etc.?

Not for the core. I'm trying to fight for performance even on CSS side But it's optional — you could to write your own widgets, with libraries of your choice.

The 'Better UX for Enterprise' example you have makes it look more like an admin UI (sort of like django-admin) than an end-user UX. Is that a fair description?

Do you have some service in mind, so frontendus could help?
Re:Do you need Front end? I'm looking for early adopters for... by webmaven on Thursday August 07, 2014 @10:28AM (#8147852)
I do, but won't be ready to move on it for several months at least (meanwhile I am collecting the data in order to put an API on it). I also have plenty of front-end skills myself, but the Q is how much do I have time to do.

Done, sent you email

Please add a signup form.
Re:Do you need Front end? I'm looking for early adopters for... by genbit on Sunday August 03, 2014 @05:19PM (#8129211)
There is nothing to sign up yet:) I want few early users to try before go public.
Re:Do you need Front end? I'm looking for early adopters for... by webmaven on Thursday August 07, 2014 @10:30AM (#8147867)
A 'sign up for future announcements' form would still be a very good idea. I'd use it myself, for example.
