Hacker gives web application away for free!Myplaylist combines Flickr Images with music that is hosted across the internet by third parties. The app recently enjoyed much press within the blogsphere after its warm welcome on Techcrunch, HackerNews and the front page of Delicious. Since launch and over the last 6 months it has attracted an organic following and now enjoys healthy daily traffic (rising rapidly) through top positions gained in the SERPs. My MotivesI believe this application has the potential to become a hot destination (applications in the same space have very large teams and sky high valuations) however, I do not believe that I alone can manage this project. Until now I have been developing my little applications as an 'independent developer' in solitude without external funds, bootstrapping them until they support themselves, which is fine as a hobby - but having already been the architect of one very successful disruptive company I am acutely aware of the many challenges that face new emerging technologies. Thus rather than being plagued with business and political challenges for which I have no ambitions, I instead wish to remain committed to developing and hacking which is my core passion, particularly because I have other projects that I am currently developing which I believe will also be game changers within their own sectors (with verified business models). Therefore I am looking for a partner to whom I am prepared to give full control (51%) of Myplaylist in exchange for becoming part of a larger dynamic exciting team, where I can continue exploring and developing potential prospects (with support) rather than being burdened with the 'management' of yet another disruptive company. Is it legal?The first skeptical question people often ask about similar music streaming services is: 'is it legal?'. Myplaylist is 100% legal according to current law, a more in-depth analysis can be found here. Myplaylist does NOT host, cache, nor publish any content whatsoever! We simply (not simple in reality) organize the metadata of content published by third parties (like search engines do), and display it just like a browser facilitates a user to view content that is already published but the browser company is not responsible for the users preferences of content. My GoalsI'm hoping to join an existing organization who is financially secure, with experienced management teams who can leverage Myplaylist, with a network competent developers whom I can join to develop larger projects. My perfect partner would:
I have no plans on working anywhere other than my current location (my home), where I wish to continue working remotely but as part of an enthusiastic and competent team.
