Yes! I'm the founder :)

Can also recommend http://instabridge.com. The world's largest wifi sharing community. It's an app so works completely offline.

Re:Apply HN: Brightwork – Making APIs More Intelligent on Thursday April 07, 2016 @03:08AM (#11445303)
Makes sense. This explanation was much better than what was on your website. Maybe you should describe yourself as the "ORM for APIs". A bit geeky maybe but would make developers get it.
Re:Apply HN: Brightwork – Making APIs More Intelligent on Wednesday April 06, 2016 @05:30PM (#11442285)
First of all, it does feel like this solves a genuine problem. Despite standards it still feels like every external API is unique.

With that said, I'm not sure I 100% grasp what Brightwork does from your description and website. Maybe you could describe a specific use case of how it would help me as a developer?

It seems that one of the use cases is easily switching between APIs that serve the same purpose (eg Google Maps to Mapbox). How big a use case do you think this will be? Ie if I use the Facebook API there's is no replacement. I have to use their API if I want to use their platform.

In that case you didn't go after the right users. Expensify just did a $17m Series C so must obviously be a lot of people like me.
Re:Don't bother creating a mobile app on Thursday December 10, 2015 @09:52AM (#10710825)
Really weird to read this being someone who is using the Expensify app on a daily basis. Super simple, I just photo the receipts as I go about during the month and then at the beginning of the next month I create my expense report.
Re:Don't bother creating a mobile app on Thursday December 10, 2015 @09:49AM (#10710812)
Really weird to read this being someone who's using Expensify on a daily basis in exactly the use cases they describe.

Re:Rovio lays off 110 people as Angry Birds hype fades on Friday December 05, 2014 @09:01AM (#8704478)
And just three years ago people wrote things like this: http://scobleizer.com/?p=7382

"It isn’t hard to see how they would become the coolest social network within a month or two. Even cooler than Quora. Heheh. After all, a lot more people identify with Angry Birds than identify with other services online (the same exec told me they can’t keep Angry Birds merchandise in stock). "

But what nobody tells you about ASO is that these users are much more unqualified than the other users you get. Downloads coming from friend referrals or reading an article about your app are much more likely to give you a good rating or convert into a paying user.
