Email me at natasha at natashatherobot.com if you'd like me to build your iPhone app idea.
Why I'm doing this:
I recently learned iOS development and am looking to get more practice / build up my iOS portfolio outside my job.
Why $200?
I'd like to work with people who are passionate enough to pay for their idea but might not be able to afford the actual price tag.
I currently have 2 apps in the App Store:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/shoplater/id664768597?ls=1&mt=8
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/alphavit/id668011464?ls=1&mt=8
How it works:
1. First in, first out: The sooner you email me, the sooner you get your app. I'll have a queuing system set up, so as soon as I'm done with the first app, I'll move on to the next.
2. Once I'm ready to start working on your app, we'll have a Skype call and keep in contact via email to clarify the requirements and figure out the business logic. Communication is key and I want to make sure you're happy with my work, so please be available to answer questions promptly while I'm building your app.
3. Payment: $100 up front, $100 on completion.
4. Design: If you have a design ready to go, I'll implement it. Otherwise I'll be using the native UI components. You'll need to provide the app store icon and loading screens.
5. Back-end: If you have an API to use, I'll use it. I can also use Parse, but you're responsible for paying for it. I'll also implement CoreData as necessary. If you need a more heavy back-end API component, you'll need to build it yourself.
6. You own the code, but I can blog about how specific features were implemented. You can see examples of my blog posts on natashatherobot.com.
7. I have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.
Let me know if you have any other questions, and I'll answer them in the comments.
I mention this because, as a nervous middle schooler who had fumbled around with Wordpress a few times, hosted a few sites for non-profits, but never did anything "big", I kept on telling myself "there has to be so much more to this, I need to get more experience, there's no way I'm worth more than minimum wage".
