MenuHow should I go about finding and hiring a developer for an app that I'm building?
The developer would have to wait later for payment, however.
Answers
I have worked with some success on upwork.com.
I would suggest to lower the budget but pay them in time right after they send you the project and you have properly tested it.
If you want to go cheap, you can outsource and deal with the potentially lower quality. You can bring on co-founders and give up part of your company (don't take this lightly but can be very effective for the right partners). If you can at least put down a decent down payment you can still go with a dev shop assuming they are ok with waiting for full payment after an agreed upon amount of time (this isn't impossible, but not all dev shops will be open to it).
In general, you get what you pay for. Really no getting around that. We can chat more about it on a call if you want.
Hello.
You can always turn to UpWork, the biggest workplace for developers. It's easy and you will find exactly who you are looking for. Or turn to MobiDev (https://mobidev.biz), it'll be faster and more reliable.
Good luck!

I have several startup ideas. How do I decide on my technology stack?
You need to be able to get feedback on your product as quickly as possible, so my advice is to choose the technology stack that will allow you to build a prototype efficiently. There's no right answer here: for some people it's LAMP, for others it's node, for others it's a Windows stack. Worrying about the technology at the stage you're at is a red herring: worry about the product, the problem it solves and the user experience of your solution, and get feedback you can iterate on as quickly as possible. I'm a serial startup CTO who's now a startup founder and CEO. Let me know if I can help.BW

I have an idea of a new type of wearable device, which I think is really huge. But I have neither the team nor funding, how should I proceed?
The best avenue for funding would likely be Kickstarter, but that presumes that the idea of a gesture-reading device is likely to have broad-enough appeal, which I'm not sure of based on the one line description. When I think about reading gestures, I think about a market primarily aimed at people with vision impairments. If that's the case, you might even want to look at foundations or organizations who might fund some of the research, but that will almost inevitably slow your pace of innovation. You might want to setup a call with Clay Hebert if you decide to go the Kickstarter route. https://clarity.fm/clayhebert Best of luck. Curious to hear more.TW

How does Fancy use Apple In-App-Purchases? Apple's TOS says this isn't allowed?
Not knowing exactly the violation you are speaking of, there could be two possible reasons for this: 1. Apple is aware of the alternative use of their platform and allows Fancy to use their system in a method that violates their TOS because of the volume of transactions and their communications with Apple. 2. Apple has not yet detected the violation and/or the violation has not been reported to Apple.NN

What is the best technology for developing a new mobile app from scratch?
There are two sides to that question. One is the mobile app itself and the other is the backend. If I misunderstood in any way and you didn't mean "native" app I apologize in advance. On the backend, there is no clear cut answer to which is the "best". It depends solely on the developers you are able to get. We for example use Node.js , mongoDB, redis, elasticsearch and a couple of proprietary tools in the backend. But you have your pick of the litter now both on the backend api and the datastore with the myriad of options available and touted as the "best" currently on the market. Now on the app side again it solely depends on what you need your mobile app to do. Experiencing first-hand "develop once, run anywhere" I can say it's more like "develop once, debug everywhere" to quote a Java saying. We have tried Phonegap and Titanium Appcelerator and we have switched to native (ObjC and Java) after a couple of months of trying to go the hybrid route. The reasons behind the choice are as follows: - anything that breaks the pattern of how those frameworks NEED to operate is just a huge technical debt that keeps accruing a huge interest. - anything that uses css3 accelerated animations on Android is buggy at best and slow as hell at worst on any lower (< 4.1 I think) versions of Android I hope this gives you some insight.
