Hi HN, I have been looking to fix a fantastic piece of open source Java-based software that has been having more and more issues running on Mac, likely due to MacOS deprecating OpenGL support, which the app heavily relies on. The app can be found on Githubh here: https://github.com/constellation-app/constellation<p>I have managed to get it somewhat functional again on Mac but am still running into multiple issues of it crashing and/or freezing when using it on Mac. I'm not a full-time software dev and unfortunately don't have the skills to get this properly ironed out.<p>I wanted to ask here if there is a good online platform I could use to find someone who would be able to fix the issues for a reasonable fee?
<a href="https://console.algora.io/" rel="nofollow">https://console.algora.io/</a> for small projects. But I'd try to contact the existing contributors first, e.g. open a Github Issue. Add that you're willing to pay for a solution.
From a Quick Look the project seems active and you can contact them by raising an issue or directly (via gitter). The link is on their home page. Even if you find someone to do the work that pull request would still need to be accepted so you may as well go straight to the team.
There is likely some sort of public forum devoted to the application in question. You could ask there. Just make sure that the post is clear that what you're asking is essentially to hire someone for a small contract job.
