SEEKING FREELANCERS / LONG TERM PARTNERS - REMOTE ONLY -
KICKASS CODE POET PROGRAMMER NEEDED - API MASHUPS, SAAS, WEB APPS, WEB SCRAPING, ETC.
NOTE: I'm not in love with any of the tech I mention below, so if you're interested but don't see your preferred development tool listed, please still get in touch!
Let's create code poetry :) If you are a creative, personable developer ANYWHERE in the world who wants to be a part of some cool, challenging projects, please get in touch.
I like modular, agile development where we prepare clear specs together to get MVPs to market. Let's target unique market niches and experiment with novel monetization and promotion strategies together.
Let's talk about a few of the projects I have in mind and the technology we can use.
First, project-wise, here are some things I am pursuing:
(1) Niche price comparison sites
(2) Unique web directory sites
(3) SaaS web applications
If selected, the first project you'll be working on is in the price comparison niche, specifically related to textbooks. Here's a GORGEOUS example: www.slugbooks.com.
When it comes to technology, you are the expert, but here is what I have in mind:
(1) Extensive use of APIs (datafeed, aggregator, etc.) to obtain real-time data and communicate or coordinate with other APIs (and utilizing programmer speak like REST, XML, JSON, etc.)
(2) Some specific APIs are already in mind, but one will be the Amazon API to utilize their product catalog data for some projects
(3) Leaning towards LAMP (PHP/MySQL), PHP frameworks like CodeIgnitor and others, and maybe utilizing WordPress at times to leverage their plugin catalog, obtain themes/frameworks to jumpstart visuals, and take advantage of better out of the box SEO structure
(4) Utilizing databases as well as API data to create auto-scaling sites where new pages are created automatically and marked up for SEO and user functionality, as well as maintaining site stability and user value creation
(5) SUPER IMPORTANT: Looking to utilize preexisting codebases (e.g., GitHub) whenever possible, as well as themes/plugins, art assets, purchasable solutions, or other ways to jumpstart development by spending a small one-time or monthly fee to save hundreds of hours of work.
In other words, no need to own a Pinto when we can rent a Porsche, right? ;) You may be familiar with ThemeForest, commerical WordPress themes (WooThemes, Genesis, Etc.), WPMUDEV, Twitter Bootstrap, and the numerous other sites out there that we can tap for resources.
In closing, if you have a familiarity or interest with any of the above, let's talk. Thanks for your time :)
