Hi there
I am desiring a macruby app...badly... I have a burning desire to build
a few of them, *three specific ones*.
One is really cool, actually two are really cool, and the third is
really small (so it boosts its cool factor to being viably cool)
The ones that I have in mind are finite projects, that I know are
achievable. I want to do them as my own IP, until I get them published.
However I am already saturated with a full time position and some 'other
stuff' for my time off.
I want to have 'contract for hire' agreements , I.e. if i make my cool
apps (three of them) I don't want the contractor I paid making his own
clones, or having a hand in getting clones made (no fair).
I am not the richest guy in the world so I cant pay the rates like
[email protected]'s $750/day, he posted back in feb for example
(I am not saying your not worth it Rohan, I am just saying I cant afford
it).
I would want to play a hand in the softwares design and architecture,
but I just don't have the time (man i sigh at the thought of doing the
undertaking alone) due to previous occupations,,,, if i wasn't
previously occupied, I may just try it alone, but I have a sh$% load on
my plate in life.
This isn't a job. This is a project/gig. Something for the weekend
warrior who wants to stay indoors this summer;
Most of you will glaze over this and delete the mail, that's fine, but
if someone is out there who wants to do a mac ruby app as a contract for
hire, then send me what you could do 'at will and being satisfied'.
Perhaps we can get the projects off the ground.
I have mockup screen shots and workflows, some db designs. I just don't
have the macruby experience. If you don't have macruby experience but
want to learn it, perhaps we can work together. [At the moment I am in
the middle of implementing my own rails store for my own product, not
necessarily the wises use of my own (development) time. ] I can assure
u, these apps I want to build will help their users, its one of those
'contributing to mankind/solving a problem' type work and not 'affiliate
marketing/selling/eccommerce' type work. *i.e. clean apps vs dirty ones... *
one helps people learn,I want to do this first. The other two help
enable people. They are pretty finite in size.
Joe Fox of http://codenoise.com/ - if someone like you wanted to 'team
up 1/2 and 1/2' on these ideas I would be open to that. But for the 'Joe
I don't know' I really want to keep the IP under my company and pay you
a 1099 contract as work for hire. I want to work with someone locally,
due to the trust factor mainly.
With best regards,
Alex Stoneham
