Ask HN: Experiment in mobile app development

Hi HN. I have an idea for an mobile experiment

A one month sprint to develop a mobile app idea ending by publishing to the app store. Where all development/design choices are chosen by the audience.

I would come up with the initial idea and then let the audience take over. Asking you questions with multiple options to choose from. Structured in a way that would let the project finish in a 4 week span.

I was just curious if anyone would be interested in a project like this? Where you and a community would be in full control of the decisions and features of the app.

Seems very difficult since you won't be able to get much programming done until the polls start coming in. The polling will create a bottleneck for the build. I honestly don't see this being done in a 1 month period, at least for a polished app.
