I'd simply suggest that you post here a little bit about what you are working on and the skill set you are hoping to bring onboard, with your contact information as there are always folks on HN interested in connecting.
Sure. I'm working on an online food ordering platform called Couchster. We're starting off in New Orleans as our initial market, with plans to expand further in the South (where the existing competition in this industry doesn't have much, if any, presence) in the future. We have some cool features, and our product has some competitive advantages over the existing competition in that our platform allows our restaurant partners to get paid immediately and directly (unlike Grubhub et al which process payments themselves and then pay out their partners afterwards). Everything is designed to scale and to maximize automation, so we should be able to grow fairly briskly once the existing loose ends are wrapped up.
At present, front end experience is a bit more of a priority to me than back end. While we'll have a complete MVP in the near future, there's plenty of room for improvement and added functionality. To date the site is all in PHP, Java and HTML5 (I believe), but if I found a permanent person, I'd be willing to change that as needed. I think our back end is fairly well put together, but then again, I'm not a developer so take that opinion FWIW.
