I’ve been getting a lot of questions and messages lately about developing apps (@rblock , sanders @19eddyjohn75 etc) integrating with SAFE, etc, and a tool I always end up recommending is UpWork.com.
It’s great for people who don’t really know any developers or have your own dev groups in person yet and just want a quick and cheap version of their app / idea created. You can find freelancers from 180 countries there with all sorts of skills, from Javascript to C and even all sorts of things (writing & editing is big on there). Pretty much any task that someone can do on a computer can be hired out on this website.
I’m not getting paid for this or anything, I just have been getting lots of questions from people about how they can make a cheap version of their app quickly, so I refer them there. I’ve used it for years, back when it was Elance.com (UpWork bought them out) and it’s always had the best selection.
You can pay hourly but I usually like to pay by the job, like you can set a price–$40, let’s say–and write up a job description–make a functional website that does X, Y, Z… etc–and then post your job there. I found best results by then searching the categories of freelancers (search “Javascript” under skills list) and sending job invitations to as many freelancers as possible. I would usually get around a 75% reply rate.
Here’s a tutorial video, and I’m always here for anyone wanting to make SAFE Apps! They’re what’s going to make this network really take off, so keep sending me your questions! Always here for you guys!
I want to see more of your guys’ SAFE App ideas come to life!!
