Web App Advisor
July 17, 2007 1:03 PM
I know, I know, you've heard it a million times. But this one is for real.
A friend and I have been working on a web app idea that has real potential. We've hammered out some business plans (they're solid), scoped out the competition (it's lame) and even started tossing around some names (that's fun).
But, you guessed it, we don't actually have the damn site.
Problem is, we don't really know enough about what we need to find the programmer we need.
My guess, based on some research, is that we need some sort of Ruby on Rails-like guru (need not be RoR per se) to tell us what we need, and how much it will cost to build a 'prototype' and then a full version.
If we like you, we'll even give you the job. But for now, we just want to pay you to give us the straight dope.
Please be in New York City . We're looking for someone local so we can all sit together, speak openly, and generally gain the nuances and subtleties of human interaction.
Also, please send me links to your work - particularly web-app type projects you've managed. The more, the merrier.
Finally, please include a reasonable fee for an hour or so of chatting at a Starbucks and honestly and fairly 'downloading' your knowledge to us.
payscale: Negotiable.
job type: contract
