Just launched QuikPiq beta - Finalist from Canada's Next Great Startup

Website: http://QuikPiq.com QuikPiq is a Web & iPhone app that lets you get friends opinions by creating & sharing photo-polls with your social network from wherever you are. We started building this after seeing people use pictures to ask questions on Facebook and Twitter; things like "What should I wear?" and "Which shoes look better?". Some were actually photoshopping several images together and putting numbers on each choice to create a makeshift poll. QuikPiq is our solution to that messy process and we're making it fun. It's a social app that lets you give and receive opinions…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Website: http://QuikPiq.com QuikPiq is a Web & iPhone app that lets you get friends opinions by creating & sharing photo-polls with your social network from wherever you are. We started building this after seeing people use pictures to ask questions on Facebook and Twitter; things like "What should I wear?" and "Which shoes look better?". Some were actually photoshopping several images together and putting numbers on each choice to create a makeshift poll. QuikPiq is our solution to that messy process and we're making it fun. It's a social app that lets you give and receive opinions on things your friends are buying, wearing, etc. We entered the idea into our university Concept Competition and won 1st place (beating a few MBA teams) and were finalists in a competition called Canada's Next Great Startup. This is our MVP and we're in beta, so any feedback from the HN community is greatly appreciated!

    A simple mobile web app inspired by Fuzzy-Search/realtime-bakllava that uses llama.cpp server backend with multimodal mode to describe and narrate what the phone camera sees. I built this thing in a few hours using a single ChatGPT thread to generate most things for me and iterate on this project.

    Hi everyone - I've been working on this automatic journal for a long time. It takes your photos, makes them look nice, and also journals the places you go just by having your phone in your pocket. Would love your feedback!

    hi all, I've always wanted to make my own game, but couldn't afford a thousand-dollar adobe (flash+photoshop) license. I'm not a talented programmer, have no degree in CS. But I understand some elements of design. So I got me a copy of ImpactJS, and after about 5 months of steep learning curve (at least for me), I managed to come up with a game. I also integrated it with a highscore and badge system, similar to what you get at Kongregate. You need to login with Google/OpenID to earn badges/scores. link is: http://www.hotbazooka.com/privatejoe hope to hear some feedback/questions from you guys!

    I remember seeing the Dragon Labs Dragonfish Glowing Form Demo[1] when it first came out, and it always stuck in my head. They implement the effect by using a rather large background image and a mask image and move the background image around via Javascript. I was inspired and wanted to see how close I could get with CSS3. I recommend using a Webkit browser [and you can see an alternate version of the animation on Firefox 4].
