5/22 Has anyone played the iPhone lottery? In other words, has anyone
written a cute or useful little app and sold it on the App Store and
then experienced PROFIT? If not, why are more people not doing this?
I would but I don't know anyone with good design skills and too lazy
to learn Cocoa.
\_ So you would love to do this but you don't actually have an
idea or want to do any work? Well I want to be a movie star.
\_ Ya, basically I'm saying that I'm lazy but seems like something
that young, poor, smart, motivated Cal engineers would work on.
\_ For what it's worth I think the app lottery train is
leaving or maybe has already left the station. There's
money to be made yes, but it's attracted the attention
of real companies who can put real money into development.
That makes it a lot harder for a small 1-2 person team to
get noticed.
\_ i am surprised there is not an advertising supported "hot or not"
app yet
\_ hot or not has jumped the shark. (So has jumptheshark).
\_ whoever has rights to this now has a frikkin goldmine on
their hands
\_ i stand corrected, there is an app, but apparently it has
morphed into some dating interface and loses on the UI
\_ HON transformed into a dating service years ago after
it was bought from the sodans who started it.
\_ sodans started it? Who? |
