Offer HN: Let me build your iOS app for $200

20 pointsby ceeKover 11 years ago
You can catch me at c.k.howell (at) warwick.ac.uk<p>Why? I want to add to my iOS portfolio whilst getting a chance to practice and experience building something for somebody else<p>Why $200? Given that this will be my first time building for somebody else, I want to make it costly enough that I work on interesting ideas but also affordable enough so that the price will accommodate for any beginner freelancer kinks<p>About me: I have a game on the App Store (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;itunes.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;app&#x2F;firework-flare&#x2F;id513766705?mt=8), a game ready for release for iOS 7 in October (http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.chrishowell.me&#x2F;unibus or http:&#x2F;&#x2F;howell.herokuapp.com&#x2F;unibus), and have interned at an app development agency (http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theappbusiness.com).<p>How it works:<p>1. Email me to talk more about your app. Once I&#x27;m ready to commit to working on it, we can have a Skype call where we can scope out the requirements.<p>2. Design: If you have a design ready, I&#x27;ll use that. Otherwise I&#x27;ll use the native iOS 7 components. If you don&#x27;t have a design, some simple diagram of the application flow and views will be necessary. I&#x27;ll need from you the App Store icon and loading screens.<p>3. Back-end: If you have one, I&#x27;ll use that. If you need one, you&#x27;ll have to build it some other way.<p>4. Payment: $100 upfront, $100 on completion<p>5. You will own all the code, but I reserve the right to talk about and put images of the application up on my portfolio website.<p>6. Given that this app should end up in my portfolio, it&#x27;s in my best interests to make sure you&#x27;re happy with your application. To achieve this, I will expect you to be able to respond promptly to emails throughout the development.<p>Thanks to natasham25 for the inspiration.<p>If you have any questions feel free to email me or reply to this post.

Just curious, why don&#x27;t you create an open source app for your portfolio instead? Sometimes (certain kinds of) clients like to see code you&#x27;ve written.
