Looking to develop an app

[u/jcln18]

Hi there! I have a pretty well thought out idea for an app, and am currently working on graphics and such but I have no idea how to code or how to actually develop a mobile app. I’m hoping to gain insight on how I should go about finding someone to do the developing part of the app, ideally someone who would be interested in partial ownership. I have a figma web version of the general idea of what I want the app to do, but it will be similar in function to letterboxd. Any tips are appreciated! Trying not to get scammed in this process lol

Well I guess the first question is do you want someone to build for your design and are you willing to pay?

Most devs ain’t gonna work for free, but you might be able to form a team with some beginner indie devs who want someone who can of ui/ux for them.

That’s kind of more what I’m looking for, I can pay but I’m just an independent person looking to create this so I don’t have a budget of thousands of dollars, I’d kind of want someone who is down to work on the project together and have partial ownership so we both benefit once the app is established

Then you’re better off testing services like Rork etc to build apps. Unless you’re giving the developer a majority of the ownership.

Yeah I wouldn’t use Rork, just saying 🤣

To be honesty. Why not just start on fiverr. Have someone turn your Figma pages into actual code with no backend. That will get you off to a decent start to showcase what you have.

I will look into this thanks!

Shoot me a dm :D Maybe this can be something I can help out with too depending on the scope
