Hire HN: Co-Founder for Aggregator Site

I'm working on a "dead simple" lifestreaming/aggregator site and am ready to take on a co-founder.

Concept: Without giving away an absurd amount of detail, the site pulls together content from around the web onto a timeline interface. Individual users have their own timelines and can post content to collaborative public timelines for places and events. The concept is a usability/UI play to a large extent, since I'm well aware that the components of the idea have been done before and are out there. I think we have something exciting on the UI side.

Compensation: To put it all out on the table, I have about $4k in the bank that I can dedicate to the project. Ideally I'd like to give you some equity and put all the cash towards "runway". But if you are a rockstar and it would help you crank out the code by freeing up your time, I can absolutely allocate some cash your way.

Co-Founder: My ideal partner here is someone that can come in and move to full co-founder status.. someone that is my counterpoint on the technical side (i'm a non-technical founder w/ an i-banking background and graphic design skills that is currently learning to code). Simply put, produce great code and this is a full partnership. My company is your company. Bonus points if you are based in NYC.

Status: I have a decent amount of Flex/SQL code that may be useful as a starting point, but you should have the capability of building a front end dynamic interface in your choice of language and tying it in to content from around the web (I apologize for how ignorant that probably sounds).

Bottom Line: I think this could be a fun project and I thought I'd throw this out there to see who might be interested from the HN community. It's simple (from a design standpoint), clean, and has a large potential audience. Feel free to call me out for anything that sounds ludicrous and, of course, I welcome any suggestions. For those interested in the business side, I promise to give out full details in a "review my startup" post down the road!
