Show HN: 99designs for API integration
apixchange.coThis was built in 40 hours at startup weekend boulder
For Freelancers: Find great API work on the API"s you know best. -- For Business: Find great freelancers for your integration project. -- For API owners: Connect your customers with great freelancers who are great with your API.
This is a clear explaination of the value for each type of user. The frontpage of the app isn't as clear with the value prop. Put this on the frontpage in 3 big clear points. Great idea overall.
Great team here, taking a stab at solving a problem for many businesses with APIs and their customers: businesses with packed roadmaps.
Why compare it to 99designs? I don't see any resemblance and you're almost hurting yourself with this comparison. "Crowdsourcing" may be a better word choice. But you're asking for a "bid" instead of actual work, so it isn't even technically crowdsourcing.
"crowdsourcing" might be to buzz-word-ish as well. Just call it a marketplace for custom API integrations.
Thanks for the feedback Dan. Will take it into account.
Not bad for 40 hours...good luck with the pitches, guys!
Frontpage should feature a couple projects to give first time users clear examples of the types of projects you are talking about.
