FWIW, this is gratis, in the spirit of the other Hacker "giftings" as of late. Keep in the holiday spirit :).

Hey, I've got a set of designs: http://collectivejam.com/Homepages/ I was going to ask one of the team members to do it, but if you'd like too (and maybe consider taking one of the initial positions at CollectiveJam) then that would be awesome!

My email is lachy@collectivejam.com

Who designed those? They look really good.

Email me at that address and I'll connect you, he's amazing, best designer I've EVER worked with.

If you're interested in seeing the backend check: http://collectivejam.com/Backend%20Pages/

Well, it seems a few are interested... http://cl.ly/52c96e02aa4c5e4c4342

http://www.adamvana.com right?

No, he did the backend designs.

The name of the designer is at the bottom of one of the screenshots!

There has been a really cool growth in these types of posts lately. As somewhat of a beginner in some of the areas required to become a great startup, it's nice to know someone potentially has your back and is willing to lend a hand.

Take a look at http://www.groupsense.com

For demo: http://acmecorp.groupsense.com/login/display.php login: allison@acmecorp.com password: pass12

I would be happy to post before and after screenshots of your work on the site.

Thanks, vidushi@groupsense.com

Authentication currently fails if there are trailing spaces in the username.

You need to trim the username before validating it.

Thanks for pointing this bug out. I will fix it asap.

First, thanks for the offer.

If you still have the bandwidth, can you please take a look at the home page of http://caniafforditnow.com and offer an alternate design suggestion. We got negative feedback about the colors and color combination, so simply your advise on some alternate designs would be very helpful.

We need some designs doing for a project that we're doing in November for the November Startup Sprint: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1773398

If anyone is interested, let me know. Also, we need some good progammers - both PHP and Python. My email address can be found in my profile :)

I've had this idea for a logarithmic calendar/timeline for event aggregation purposes... but I don't know where to start.

I have some experience programming in C, Python, and Java, and a wee bit of HTML/CSS experience, but no JS or JS-related stuff. Do you think you could give me some pointers on how I could go about implementing this kind of thing?

A good way to build an first app in Python would be to go through the google app engine docs for python, they provide the ability to deploy your app and have a good api. To learn javascript, if you already know C the syntax itself is a lot like C, but there is the dom and dynamically typed variables. A good way to start might be learning some javascript basics and taking a look at jQuery: http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials:Getting_Started_with_jQuery. Hope that helps!

Are there any specific libraries or features that would be particularly salient to this endeavor?

for javascript in the browser jQuery is a godsend.

if you like functional programming check out underscore.js

jquery ui is a jQuery plugin that eases many ui tasks, but be careful - it's easy to go overboard.

Not stealing your thunder, but with few free hours at my disposal, I could lend a hand to someone aswell.

I could take some designs, and implement corresponding HTML/CSS/JS for them. glad to help! my email is in the profile.

Don't need this at the moment, but wanted to say thanks anyway! This is a really awesome thing to do, and as a nice Real Life Karma bonus you will probably meet some really cool people.

Would you care to fix some bugs in my website that I have on a list :)

Such as... my slideshow doesn't look right in Chrome, and my wiki is sort of broken.

It's appengine django.

I'd actually pay for this work!

Send me an email :).

I really need help converting a Photoshop design to HTML/CSS. May I contact you with my design and know your thoughts? Thanks in advance by the way!

Sure. Email is in my profile.

I just sent you an email with my design. Thank you very much for making such a generous offer to our community. I'll be sure to pay it forward :)

how do you get fonts to look like that. I'm starting to see them all over the place. Fonts that look like they are indented into the page.

It's a letterpress effect, you basically use a combination of an inner shadow and drop shadow in photoshop. There are ways of doing it with CSS as well. It's been majorly abused already, although it's subtle enough in these designs.

Just a light or dark text-shadow of a pixel. A Google of "CSS embossed text" for details should work.

the primary way that people are doing this is using the css3 text-shadow property. for example:

    h1 {
        text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #ccc;
    }

the syntax here is:

    text-shadow: x-offset y-offset blur-radius shadow-color;

I'm actually interested in that too, not sure why this got downvoted?

I could really use some help with the design of the user profile pages of the social network I'm working on. Sending an email...

Thanks for the offer, this sounds great, I'll drop you a mail for some design help and feedback.

I don't need anything at the moment, but thank you! Do you have a portfolio page?

Not at present (frowned upon by my 9-5, looking to leave, anyways, but I do plenty of consulting on the side :)).

Where do you live? West coast?

East Coast, DC area.

Musopen.org would love some technical help if anyone is interested.
