Ask HN: Seeking a technical 'relief pitcher' (yesDater.com)

Note: I hope this sort of post is on the up-and-up on HN. I don't see anything relevant in the posting guidelines. If against policy, we will take down

My co-founder and I have been working on yesDater.com for some time now. yesDater is complete refresh of the online dating space; It is not yet another plentyoffish or eHarmony (yes, this is intentionally very vague).

Unfortunately, unforeseen personal circumstances have sidelined my co-founder. This is made all the more painful because we have made such great progress and my co-founder happens to be the technical lead. We are approximately 50-75% done in terms of getting a MVP launched.

We are eager to maintain forward progress and not let unexpected circumstance stall our project. To that end, we are looking to bring in a technical resource to complete the remaining code and get us to launch (and beyond?)

Details:

Technical skills required: o RoR o CSS o JQuery/JavaScript o Understanding of SQL

Design / CSS skills are very important to us at our current stage of development (and because this is a particular skill gap for us)

We are based in Chicago and New York. Local applicants are preferred

Compensation will be in the form of founder's equity (potentially a considerable portion)

About us: We are two Kellogg MBA alums with combined technology/management consultancy, Computer Science, and successful startup backgrounds

Thanks all!
