I'm just as sikk of talking about this gadget as anyone, but is anyone here in the NYC area that's handy with creating cool interactive stuff that can be used in an app on the iPad?
By "interactive stuff" I mean infographics/charts/timelines based on print content that are then juiced up via html5 (?), similar to some of the stuff in the Popular Mechanics app.
I don't need an app builder, but someone who understands how to create and package stuff to dump into app templates that we're creating.
This would be a good gig: ongoing, paid, good people on our end, well-known brand, interesting content...

The interactive charting / infographic / timelines would need to be built custom or build a custom template for them.
GQ is very templatized. PopMech is some what different, I think they build custom content on top of the template layer.
Do you have an existing template that is flexible or fixed?

The plan is to build templates that can handle custom "bits" inside fixed pages of text/images. I shouldn't have namechecked PopMech because their one-off approach isn't feasible for us at all.
Maybe the New Yorker app is a better example, since the templates are mostly fixed but you can have video and interactive elements included.
Sorry if this sounds like I don't know what I'm talking about, because I really don't (hence our need to get someone on board who knows the ins and outs of getting that sort of content into a monthly app)

Only downside is that specially for magazines, editorial content / layout tends to get lost when you have a rigid template.
Emailed you.
