daas,
You can’t retract a bid on ebay.
mercury,
if your husband got a psak from his father then you really shouldn’t go shopping for a new psak…
I’d venture to say that your shalom ba’yis is worth more that the necklace…
(if not then we have a bigger issue here lol)
what are your skills?
Daas,
Lol, I didn’t read that far up. If I would do the project, it would be free. I wouldn’t want to turn people away due to a price barrier.

I’m thinking of making a ‘Shabbos App’ that locks down the phone on Shabbos. That kickstarter project is just sad…
As an app developer I must say that the YWN Android app is done very poorly. Who ever heard of putting the text ‘Back’ in the action bar? Doesn’t an up arrow suffice?
Additionally, the sharing options crash if the user does not have the app installed. Why not just invoke the standard sharing dialog like every other app does?
What is the circle icon doing in the center of the action bar?
Hey jewishperson1016,
I use Google’s AdMob in my apps. You can set very fine controls on what is allowed to be shown within your apps.
Yserbius123:
I agree. YWN is like the internet in 1995… popups and flashing graphics… adblock is the only way to go
What kind of people are you looking for? Yeshivish, Chasidish, Young Israel, Modern, a Family, Old People, young people…
new iPhone 😉
Are you on XDA? That would probably be a more appropriate place to get help for this….
I think a person should be judged by what level on Candy Crush they are on. IF you’ve beaten 257 levels then you have no time for a spouse.
I’m more of a level 20 kinda guy myself. That shows that you can relax and chill, but not too much.
popa:
Yes. This project must be location based, otherwise it is useless.
You should be able to see prospects in a 5, 10, or 20 mile radius and arrange to meet.
People can fill out questionnaires and the software can match them with suggestions in their vicinity.
If we are only talking about a list, then people can just use Google Docs.
As an App Developer I just though I’d pop in and share my thoughts.
I get 1-2 people each month coming to me with Shidduch related app ideas. Last month someone presented me with this exact idea. These are all great ideas and interesting ways to utilize the mobile platform.
There is one caveat. Developing an app takes time and money. (I’m working on a project right now with about 10 people on my team. We’ve been working on it for close to 3 months already.)
An app like this needs minimum 5 people. 1 Project Manager, 2 Mobile Designer, 3 Web Developer, 4 Android Developer, 5 iPhone Developer. A project of this scope would be approximately 1-2 months long.
So basically you need to pay 5 people for 2 months. Not everyone will be busy for the entire duration of the project, but we are talking about an expense of 15k-25k (depending on the exact specifications).
This would be a useful tool in the Shidduch market, all we need is haskamahs from Rabonim. Once a Rov is behind it then donors will fund it.
