Thanks for hunting @hnshah! 🎈
Since launching Volley’s web app at the end of June (http://www.producthunt.com/tech/...), we’ve been hard at work to bring the experience to mobile.
Just like on the web, Volley for iPhone lets you post requests about a startup, programming, or design challenge you're facing and connect with relevant people who want to help. Our goal is for Volley to be top-of-mind when you’re looking for help from a real person, so naturally, it’s crucial that you’re able to ask for help when you’re on the go.
We’re really proud of the fact that the iOS and web experiences work together seamlessly. This required a lot of tricky API work from @brendanlynch. Also, in the last two months, it wasn’t easy at times moving the web product forward at the same time as iOS - a huge shoutout to @davehariri for balancing the design of these two at once, as well as to Cory for his great execution. Finally, and most importantly, we’re super proud of Dan (@Cowfaboo) who is leading the development of Volley for iPhone and who continues to do a fantastic job.
Mobile unlocks a lot of opportunities for Volley not possible on the web, which we're excited to continue to build on. We’d love your feedback and would be happy to answer any questions you guys have!

@mimurchison I remember when you were just starting this off and told me about it on the Queens Startup Summit bus some time ago. It has come a long way and I'm honoured to be part of the product since early on, congrats!
Congrats on the great execution @mimurchison and all the team. I work on www.impossible.com and it's great to see this space getting more crowded. One of the challenges we've been facing is a way to match people. How to know that John can help Sarah? We decided to focus on skills, what is your plan?
@ugo_alves I'm speaking from the Volley user's perspective. It seems like their plan and current strategy is to have 'categories' where you can view people's request. The two actions you can take - either reply to a request or 'Volley' it to someone you know who may be able to help out.
@ugo_alves, @applecider_ said it perfectly. We're focused right now on making it easy for people to find requests they care about and to make it easy for people to share relevant requests with friends. I'm sure there is plenty more that Volley and Impossible could share and learn from each other!
