Just subbmitted: Application for tracking IOU's. I'll handle iOS design & dev, web JS (done) and REST API (done). You do web front (CSS).

Basically, my CSS and HTML sucks massive schlong. But I've gotten the front-end working prettly neatly (Batman.JS with CofeeScript) with the RESTFUL (in true meaning) API.

I want to focus on an iOS version + some additional social provider authentication while you do the front-end in terms of HTML and CSS.

It's a client-side front-end. But the templates are in HTML (HTML 5 with data attributes that is)

Sometimes it isn't about skill-set, but about Time To Launch(™)

Just curious: What do you mean IOU's? Like money between friends? Favors? Something else?
For now the API only supports US$.

But I have added support (on the DB side of things) to make it agnostic in the future.

Say for separate IOU's index listing for different currencies and items. From books and games to World of Warcraft gold.

Heh, actually a funny story... At first I allowed realtime currency conversion, but a friend pointed out how stupid it was. I didn't really think it was stupid until he laughed out loud and explained.

I do get now... but back then it seemed only natural that the user picks a single currency to list all the money that the user owes or is owed.

Thanks for showing interest. It's just a side project, not a profitable startup in any means - scratching me and my friends list for splitting and keeping track of tabs. It does separate item splits, even splits and single one off payments/loans (essentially the same thing). It's all client side so you get feedback directly on how much you got paid for or paid for.
