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.

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 definitely agree with you, to get a very good coder to put their best effort it will not be cheap so maybe looking for a partner could be my best option.

Thanks for the help! Yea this would not be my first startup so I know developers are approached everyday with tons of ideas to get involved in.

I got accepted into Startup School so I'm looking forward to seeing who I can meet up with that could help me out.

As for as spending my own money, you are right, I have done this before and ended up being super expensive and outcome was not that good.

I know there are many of talented coders on here so if there is anyone that is interested in hearing more I'm more than happy to speak with them.
