First of all, porting things without having the source is not possible
Secondly, a3thinker.com doesn't even exist.
Edit:
weird, website is working now, it really didn't work before...

Thanks for the reply but I'm able to open the site http://a3thinker.com/
Also, I think I used the wrong word "Porting" but was just checking if there is any possibility to get a similar app like A3Thinker on N900.

You state that you cannot do this yourself, I wonder why not?
If you can describe the needed functionality in enough detail, you could try to write something like that yourself.

Hmm. OTOH, i do not. There are people out there who a) cannot develop b) don't want to, but have no time c) neither have time nor interest.

Maybe everyone should get competent in sowing greens, stitching up their garments/clothing, fixing cars, maintaining electric installations & other, more exotic stuff too, because being almost 100% self-sufficient is somewhat adorable? No, because there are so many people who would like to pay for services & stuff, either because they are missing time, interest, or because they know that professionals would to better than them. But being on a marginally interesting platform, there is of course and understandably not that much commercial interest that would cater to certain demands. And having to rely on communities certainly makes life not easier.
The OP certainly has his reasons, and i don't see that his questioning for what he wishes for is invalid. So, what are the available Maemo alternatives for now? I found none yet, for him, sorry. Not for general Linux either. Maybe he has to live with their physical card stack for now.

But all this aside, writing SW is different becuse that is EASY, it is easier than lot of the other things I just mentioned. Mainly that is because it is mainly thinking, and everybody should practice some organized thinking once in a while.

On an Apple forum I would not be surprised for people to ask for some simple program "to be made into an app" but surely HERE everybody should at least be intrested of SW developing themselves

However I think it would be pretty normal to ask for advice how to fix your car.

@juiceme if SW coding is so EASY ?? Impress us and code it, build it package it and upload it ?
Why waste time debating when you could have done it by now?
Edit: OP will pay you $3 and me to!

juiceme has already done his fair share of coding for things he wants and he was kind enough to share with the community. Don't be rude.

Recently I saw an amazing app on iphone that helps create A3 problem solving report. A3 is a lean technique that helps in business problem solving and, that too, on an A3 sheet of paper. The creator of the app has put some brainstorming cards that help frame the problem effectively. I was thinking if there is a way to have this app ported to maemo platform. I cannot do this so thought of checking with the community to see if some generous guy can port this app to n900. Official site is a3thinker.com. Search for a3thinker on itunes.
