Collaboration / Beta Testing Discussion Boards

Hello, apologies for such a bold opening post but I have been advised by a friend that works in the coding industry to make this post here. I am not completely sure whether this is the right sub-forum for this post so further apologies if this post is not in the correct forum-category.

Headline points:

- App developer required
- Skill swop,
- London based,

Hi,

I am looking for an App developer to assist me in building an App that can be sold over itunes and other similar forums. I envisage that the App will be similar to an e-book in that it will provide information to its users. The App will also provide links to various websites and offer a simple tool for the App downloader to use. I do not envisage that the App will be particularly flashy or have fancy graphics, it will probably be similar in design to the eBay App in layout and navigation. Music is not requirement. I personally have little knowledge about App development at the moment but I imagine that this would be a relatively simple App to build as it will primarily be an information bank.

Without disclosing too much information on this project, the App will be related to the property industry and provide up to date information on the sector. I.e., The App will assist its users in matters related to the property industry.

To achieve this I am seeking an individual, rather than an organisation, to work on this project with. In essence I am looking for a partner. I cannot pay you for this work and I therefore propose that we enter into a skill-swop. I will provide the content for the App and you, the developer, will build, manage and import the content. I do however want involvement in the design and layout of the App.

About myself: I am a 25 year old graduate working in central London, I have been working in the property industry for several years and am currently employed. This project for me would be an evening and weekend project. I am not considering quitting my day job for this project at all and see it as surplus to my career.

If you're interested in working with me on this project please drop me an email to richardpillow13@hotmail.com with a few lines about who you are and your experience. I would like to work with someone who:
- Is of a similar age range to myself (18 - 29)
- London Based (Central & North-West preferable),
- Experience in multi-format App development,
- Experience in listing apps for sale,
- Someone creative. If you know how to use a tool like photoshop that would be very helpful.

Any profits created by sale of the App will be shared. Profit sharing levels are up for discussion!

Kind regards,

Richard

Be careful who you take advice from. This is not a free jobs board; if you wish to advertise online then you should contact the site administrators and pay for the advertising space.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

I would reason that my post was not an advert. I'm trying to find a project partner from the coding world and in doing so looking on a website dedicated to coding is a good place to look.

... in order to make money, so this is an advertisement. Perhaps you should take the time to read the site guidelines[^].

Hi again,

Thank you for your reply. I have read over the rules and would still reason that I am not advertising anything. I am simply seeking a buesiness partmer for a project. Surely the ultimate goal in much coding is to make money, or promote something, be it a game or whatever else. I am not asking anyone to buy anything from me, nor am i trying in anyway to sell something.

The rules state "No advertising or soliciting". I feel i'm doing neither but if the view of the powers that be feel I am, i sincerely apologise for causing disruption here on your forum.

If you want to continue this conversation please can you PM me.

Warm regards,

Richard

You are adviertising for a coder to join your business venture.

As someone who only joined today you get forgiven for that. I merely pointed out the protocol, which becomes clearer the more time you spend here.

No, discussions should be kept public so anyone can join in.

I've moved this post to a more appropriate forum

Hi,

Is there any board where people are posting their requirement for project on codeproject ? or we need to depend on some other sites ?

Thanks
