YouNoodle is looking for a talented and experienced full-stack engineer to join our San Francisco-based team of hackers, designers, and architects. We are helping tens of thousands of startups step forward on our global competitions platform, and we are effectively building the world’s largest innovation engine. We are looking to add an exceptional engineer to help scale our existing product as well as build out tomorrow’s global startup movement platform.

Our new product is based on AngularJS and Laravel, our codebase is very structured and neat, and we want to keep it that way. We’re looking for someone who can dive in and take responsibility where needed to make sure that the app works and flows well, from the backend to the frontend. You will be given a lot of independence in your work and a real opportunity to influence the product in a meaningful way. http://ww2.younoodle.com/jobs/

Not sure if you are using Mac or PC, but for Macs I am a big fan of Camtasia. It has been very intuitive to use. They have a solid free trial that you can play around with also. I had never done video editing and I was up and running making tour videos in a day, here is the product of my work:http://help.bettermeans.com/home

thanks for the feedback, I think you make good points. We will revisit that homepage. Such an important first impression.

I totally agree that it is more suited to non-profits and other social enterprise. Those are certainly the folks we are directing our message to. However I do think it has wider applicability for any team that is interested in working together in a more decentralized way.

In terms of the heirarchy, it is not a total open free for all. While anyone can vote and comment on open projects, only the votes of the members are binding. Therefore we create a forum for all voices to be heard, while still allowing the devoted team members to drive the work in the right direction for the team.

While it certainly sounds scary to relinquish control, what has been fascinating is to find how much people are hesitant to overstep. In our open democratic model to date we have not been burned by giving the "copywriter equal say". In fact it has made our work richer to open it up to many voices helping us out.

We have a greater vision in terms of equity, in that when you work you also gain equity. Unfortunately we are still working through the legal details of making that work. But it is articulated in our white paper (http://bettermeans.org/front/?page_id=306).

We will be sure to share that with all of you once we get there, because that will be the next innovation of our model that could also really shake things up, especially for tech teams and other startups looking for a way to create more fair partnership
