You can help bring
Snaplive to life, so that everyone can use it when it's
released open source.

The goal of this campaign is being able to support 2
months of development, with a team of at least 2 freelance
developers. In addition, we would put some resources
into promotion and keeping the service up until January.
Breakdown
Here is a breakdown of the
expenses—$9,500
- $8,500: freelance developers x 2
months
- $500: marketing and promotion x 5
months (until January)
- $500: hosting expenses x 5 months
(until January)
Clearly, most of the money
would go towards development.

Niccolò Brogi is a web
developer and entrepreneur based in Florence, Italy, and is the
founder and lead developer of Snaplive.
Although having a business
administration background—acquired at an American college—he's
been focusing on web software for almost 10 years, with his
first client website completed while attending college.
He has worked as a
freelance web consultant since 2004, and and has curated or lead
a variety of projects for mid-sized to big Italian and foreign
companies.
As a web consultant, he
has developed three website editors, for three different design
firms, that are still used by some of the most important
companies in Italy. His software is also found in government
projects, including one for the Italian Parliament.
He is proficient in
server-side technologies (such as PHP and MySQL), as well as
client-side (like HTML5, CSS, and Javascript). He has some
knowledge of Linux/server administration, and a passion for
design.
Other devs
If successful, the campaign will
allow hiring top-notch developers that will have make Snaplive
great.
In this few months there has been a
growing interest in the project, and many developers have
expressed their desire to participate. Unfortunately, many
things need to be done before any software is released open
source and/or people can participate, which in our case will be
done right after our public demo. Once open source, we expect
many developers to join the project and contribute with their
skills and ideas.

We are very grateful
to anyone who will help, and even the smallest
contribution is greately appreciated.
Of course, there are
some cool perks for those who contribute, including our
favorite "Illuminati" package, which includes exclusive access
to our secret development blog, with pictures and articles of
programming the releases and—most importantly—access to the
software before everyone else.
