being in the digital marketing / growth space I really enjoyed his talk and consider it one of my favorites next to paul grahams.

awesome idea! going to email you now

I was able to make a mockup app, if anyone is interested in seeing what I'm doing you can reach out to me by twitter @kmetral

Have you had any luck finding a developer on Odesk that can deliver good work? I have used Odesk for other sites I had built and it was pretty bad.

Building an app like what I want would cost a lot, maybe 10-20k which is a lot of money go invest for me. I will either build the app myself or hire a good freelancer.

so build a website to create hype and collect emails? I have seen some apps do that

No, I mean a simplified but still useful version of your idea. You haven't shared what your idea is, so I don't know if this will work for it.

that was something I thought about as well.

That was a great blog post, thank you for sharing that with me. I'm going to start learning how to build my own prototype.

I just signed up with Prottapp and I'm going to do some designs so I can see what I want exactly, thanks for that recommendation.

I appreciate your help, this is definitely going to help me a lot.

Good idea, I have some basic programming language but not enough to code something like this completely on my own. I'll start reading up on Phonegap and seeing how I can narrow down exactly what I want to get it a cheaper price as well.

That Medium story is awesome, thanks for that!

I made this free tutorial series for PhoneGap/Cordova (http://app-o-mat.com) -- it assumes you know HTML/JS (but not too much)
