Napkn gets the best developers/designers to spend a week of their time creating someone’s awesome idea for free. The app is put on the App Store for free. And no one makes any money… wait… really? What’s the point?
We’re in this to make ourselves better developers. Real developers solve real problems. Awesome developers are selfless and want to use their super magical developer skills to give back. New developers need a chance to work really hard and prove themselves worthy.
For all these reasons we’re starting Napkn. The best idea from anywhere in the world will be built each week. Have an awesome app idea? Have friends that are always telling you their awesome app idea? Want to spend a week bringing someone else’s awesome idea to life? Napkn was made for you!
Would love to talk about questions/thoughts!

@zachwhelchel Love it! How are you connected to Firebase? How did you set up the partnership?
@h_halvi the main goal in open sourcing is so others can learn... but this is a great idea too! Absolutely a possibility!

@zachwhelchel If you open up a API of your platform i will be eager to make a product that will help the people who contribute to the source will get access to jobs at leading Startups.! ;)
Well, now that you've been featured on ProductHunt with so many upvotes (congrats about that), I'm pretty sure your inbox would be flooded with ideas... So how can you assure us that every idea will be read by you? Will you personally reply to each and every idea? Or you'd be flooded with so many awesome ideas, for which it'll take a long long time to fulfil all those ideas.. How do you deal with this @zachwhelchel ?
@ambonium thanks! So far its been a lot of great ideas but still manageable. If it gets out of hand we may incorporate some community help for surfacing the best ones but the developers at Napkn need to help make the final say as they are in the best position to guesstimate which ideas can be done really well in a week.
@kristofertm thanks! We're pumped too. Also know that down the road we plan to start rotating out the weekly team. A new developer/designer featured each week to build someone's cool new idea. Fun for all!
Hey all, we've had a lot of great ideas come in already. If you haven't yet check out our Twitter @NapknApps. Currently posting a bunch of the ideas we've had come in so we can get everyone's feedback on which app we should build next week!

This is fun! 😄
Just a question, does the person who gives the idea work with the developers & designers as well?
