Looking for a part time employee or co-founder to help with development of EventMost.com Eventmost is a website that aggregates events from Eventbrite.com, Facebook events, and meetup.com. We also make it so a planner can create his or her own event, but unlike eventbrite, or meetup, there is a social network inside the event (like facebook events.) There is also a dropbox for events, making it very easy to get ppts or photos from events. It’s about 70% developed but we could really use some help! Will pay £12/hour cash. And if person becomes more interested, we’d like to talk equity. Please email me at: president(a)oxfordentrepreneurs.co.uk if interested! Thanks. About EventMost dev: EventMost is coded in one language. Javascript. The backend is powered by node.js (a javascript framework), we use Jade on the server to compile a template into HTML. The whole app is coded MVC-style to ensure maximal scalability. On the front-end, EventMost uses Angular.js, a javascript framework binding HTML markup to javascript and thus enabling faster and more efficient way to send data back and forth to the server.
