Preview and feedback: https://tally.so/r/3qMlPd

Essentially, a lab admin and a researcher affected by the Federal funding cuts teamed up with an entrepreneur neighbor and we created BioShift as a way to help laid off lab workers keep earning money, keep skills fresh, and prevent brain drain. For labs facing funding cuts, it helps reduce on-boarding costs and keeps science happening.

MVP is built out, we're going to try to get a few more pilot labs, get scientists signed up, and launch a public pre-alpha/alpha later on in the summer.

So, yeah, give us your feedback and let's keep our labs running! Thanks!

Sush, you. I ain't giving up that easily :)

Though, perhaps we should merge.

Thanks, Thomas. Certainly need to get paid one way or another, and the holidays aren't conducive to being productive.

I started pinging folks who may have job leads.

Thank you for the offer.

HN doesn't really have a PM system, as far as I know. Feel free to shoot me an e-mail, [email protected], and we can chat a bit more.

Thanks for the offer. I'm in Boston, however.

Regroup seems to be the way to go; much appreciated.

To be fair, the two current devs have been on board full time for just over a month and a half.

But, your point stands.

It is a fair question. The former CTO set the stack and was helping those two along. They're Ruby converts.

After the CTO left, I asked if we should switch and they said switching to Ruby was more work than it was worth. The backend is pretty far along in Node right now. And we've got an Angular dashboard that we need to connect.

Angular 2.0 won't be out until Q4 2015 the earliest.

There is going to be a migration path from 1.3(x) to 2.0, but it may not be a simple one.

Support for 1.3(x) is not going to drop suddenly.

From the folks I've talked to, there's no reason to panic.

You're not going to be re-learning everything for 2.0, you'll just have to modify you're thinking a bit.

Frameworks come and go, but React and Angular are both great for current and future products.

Don't buy into the negativity and cynicism. If everyone did, we'd still be writing shit in BASIC and PASCAL.

Just finishing up the marketing portion of the website, obviously some rough edges and more "meat" needs to be available regarding the product soon.

I kind of feel like we're being too vague with the description, but I also don't want to bog down the site with text.

But, I'd love to hear any experiences in the fantasy industry or potential advice/pitfalls.

Thank you!

Shoot me a PM, I'd like to see your portfolio. I'm actually looking at mobile app shops right now.

It seems like every other nutter in NYC is looking for a tech co-founder; perhaps market yourself as a CTO-in-a-box?
