UK or London Devs, Do you want to work on a WP7 App?

Question

I am in the process of designing mockups for an App I would like to see on Windows Phone 7.  I am a designer, and so I lack the technical programming knowledge to actually make it into a full App, so I am putting the idea out there, in case anyone is interested.

I posted the idea in the "I need this App" competition, but it is only now I have some UI designs done for it.  The App starts in a panorama, but there will also be a need for pivot pages and single pages, which I have sketched on paper, but will be mocking up over time.

When you see the App, you will know why I put the call out to UK and specifically London developers...

If the app is made and is successful, I am sure it could be adapted by others for other cities around the world.

Answer 1

I have now got someone on board who is trying to work on the data side of things.  I still need a silverlight programmer, especially those who have experience making custom controls, and has experience with animation and visual states.

Answer 2

I must say your design is really nice! Will be a great looking app!

Answer 3

This is just a quick video showing how I may animate the tiles for the app...

Answer 4

Could you please show us how you animated those titles?

Answer 5

They are storyboards, within a custom control, and a clip which matches the shape of the tile (124x124) so when the text moves off to the side, it is hidden.

I am not sure if it is the best way, especially with live data, I would need to find a way to programatically determine the right amount to move each text box by.
