Show HN: Idealyzer – Analyze app ideas before writing code
For the past few years I've been making apps such as iJuror (http://www.ijurorapp.com) specifically for attorneys and law firms. Adoption has been pretty significant but the industry is a bit more conservative when it comes to technology. Other apps such as TrialPad and TranscriptPad have been successful as well.
ClearView Social (http://clearviewsocial.com) is another startup in the legal space that helps attorneys and law firms grow their presence on social media.
I think we'll see more startups in the space in the coming years too.
Validating Your Mobile App Idea
I originally made this app because I was frustrated doing in person Yahoo drafts and not having the drafted players immediately disappear from the available players list (I wanted to save trees so I didn't print lists of players and cross them off as they were drafted).
It then turned into Draftalyzer as I added more features. Any feedback is appreciated!

The app is pretty simple. You take a screenshot of your device's homescreen (or any other screen for that matter), upload it in the app, Homescreen Genius uses Tesseract OCR to get the app names, and then provides you suggestions based on apps that similar users have.
I created this because I found the Tesseract OCR package and wanted to put it to use in some fashion so Homescreen Genius was created.
Thanks in advance for any feedback - I really appreciate it.

Show HN: New Running Motivation iPhone App
Hi, I wanted to share a new iPhone app that a friend and I created called Run the World.It's a new motivational twist on the traditional running app - challenge yourself to run the distance between two cities and Run the World keeps track of your progress to meet your goal.I don't really enjoy running but I know that I should run so I'm the target audience of this app. I also wanted to get...
With all of the ways of promoting & finding websites (SEO, ads, social channels, links, etc) I think the .com is less valuable than it used to be.
Good luck!

The usage is really quite low - I never spent any time marketing it unfortunately. It was easier for me to use the site than manually create the collateral that I wanted so I built it.
If you'd like more details feel free to email me (address in my profile).
The project includes a Wordpress website to collect orders. The customers choose the features they would like from a 'menu' and then are given a price quote.
The project also includes 'base' iPhone and Android apps that are then customized to a customer's needs.
I haven't had the time to market the site very much but it would be a good opportunity for someone that has mobile app development background and the ability to market the site to the target market.
If you have any interest my contact info is in my profile.
The site was created with PHP, Moo.com API, the iTunes API, and the Google link shortener.
I needed this myself and never really marketed the site. I found it useful to create promo code give aways when attending trade shows for some of the other iOS apps I developed (the iJuror iPad app for attorneys is the example shown on the site).
The iPhone app is called 'Run the World' and it lets you create goal based on running from one city to another (for example run from San Francisco to Dallas).

We both realize the benefits of running but find it hard to get motivated so we made this app as a way to get off the couch.

I was looking for a site that would let me turn my iOS app promo codes into business cards to hand out at trade shows or other industry events.
After unsuccessfully looking for a similar service for some time I decided to build this site.
The site is built using the Moo.com API, PHP, Bootstrap, a Bootswatch theme, and the Google URL shortener.
Any suggestions or feedback you have would be welcome. I hope that this is useful to some of the other iOS developers out there.
