I'd be happy to hear any feedback you might have on this side project. My friend and I spent about a month developing it as a tool for entrepreneurs to help refine their pitch.


I think law startups is a vague term that can account for many points of view. Startups for people 'using' the law or startups for those 'practicing' the law.

For the past few years I've been making apps such as iJuror (http://www.ijurorapp.com) specifically for attorneys and law firms. Adoption has been pretty significant but the industry is a bit more conservative when it comes to technology. Other apps such as TrialPad and TranscriptPad have been successful as well.

ClearView Social (http://clearviewsocial.com) is another startup in the legal space that helps attorneys and law firms grow their presence on social media.

I think we'll see more startups in the space in the coming years too.


Draftalyzer uses custom algorithms to determine the likelihood that a player will be drafted before your turn to draft. It takes into account team rosters, project points per player, and bye weeks.

I originally made this app because I was frustrated doing in person Yahoo drafts and not having the drafted players immediately disappear from the available players list (I wanted to save trees so I didn't print lists of players and cross them off as they were drafted).

It then turned into Draftalyzer as I added more features. Any feedback is appreciated!


Hi, I just released Homescreen Genius and I'd be thankful for any feedback.

The app is pretty simple. You take a screenshot of your device's homescreen (or any other screen for that matter), upload it in the app, Homescreen Genius uses Tesseract OCR to get the app names, and then provides you suggestions based on apps that similar users have.

I created this because I found the Tesseract OCR package and wanted to put it to use in some fashion so Homescreen Genius was created.

Thanks in advance for any feedback - I really appreciate it.


I would grab the .net and go with it or try to find a close variation on the .com.

With all of the ways of promoting & finding websites (SEO, ads, social channels, links, etc) I think the .com is less valuable than it used to be.

Good luck!


Thanks!


I've been getting frequent 502 errors from the service today.

The status page shows intermittent issues over the past day it seems.


I created a project called http://customlawyerapps.com. The site allows law firms and attorneys to create iPhone and Android apps for their business.

The project includes a Wordpress website to collect orders. The customers choose the features they would like from a 'menu' and then are given a price quote.

The project also includes 'base' iPhone and Android apps that are then customized to a customer's needs.

I haven't had the time to market the site very much but it would be a good opportunity for someone that has mobile app development background and the ability to market the site to the target market.

If you have any interest my contact info is in my profile.


I created http://easypromocodes.com to generate business cards with promo codes for iOS apps.

The site was created with PHP, Moo.com API, the iTunes API, and the Google link shortener.

I needed this myself and never really marketed the site. I found it useful to create promo code give aways when attending trade shows for some of the other iOS apps I developed (the iJuror iPad app for attorneys is the example shown on the site).


Love the concept. What's your userbase like? I'd be interested in buying it/taking it over.

Edit: I see you have it listed on SideProjectors. Is $25,000 correct or a typo? Doesn't quite line up well with 10 users a month :)


Hi the price on SideProjectors is a typo - I need to fix that. No wonder no one has jumped on it :)

The usage is really quite low - I never spent any time marketing it unfortunately. It was easier for me to use the site than manually create the collateral that I wanted so I built it.

If you'd like more details feel free to email me (address in my profile).


Here's the 3rd side project I've been working on with a friend that was just released (I've been busy!).

The iPhone app is called 'Run the World' and it lets you create goal based on running from one city to another (for example run from San Francisco to Dallas).

Here are some screenshots: http://a3.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Purple6/v4/50/ea/e5/50eae50f-7...

http://a4.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Purple/v4/cc/dd/97/ccdd97cd-30...

Here is the App Store Link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/run-the-world/id832500937?mt...

We both realize the benefits of running but find it hard to get motivated so we made this app as a way to get off the couch.


The second project that I've been working on is RepairMyRentalPro.com which is a site to help connect landlords and contractors when work is needed on a rental property. The site is in beta but went 'live' a week ago.

I would try to purchase rentalrepair.com, it is a premium domain available for $1000, or buy rentalrepair.net for $9.


Thanks for the tip. I picked up rentalrepair.net and rentalrepair.co today.
