I&#x27;m currently looking to make a switch to doing a lot more freelance&#x2F;contract
style work, and as such have been doing some soul searching to identify my
strengths and weaknesses - as well as the unknowns - to make this go smoothly.<p>I&#x27;ve come to the conclusion that the biggest unknown stems from the fact it&#x27;s
been quite a long time since I had the experience of taking somebody else&#x27;s idea
from concept to completion, and this is a far more important factor in my
likelihood of success than how much experience I have in the technologies.<p>So, I&#x27;d like to make an offer to HN - I will build that web application that
has been kicking around in your head for ages, this week, for $750. I&#x27;ll be
using Ruby on Rails, and Ember if a heavyweight JS framework suits the
application. I won&#x27;t be doing any &#x27;design&#x27; work as such, as it&#x27;s not my focus,
but the end result will of course have a fully functional and presentable UI -
think basic Bootstrap, you will be comfortable showing it off as an MVP.<p>I will expect you to come to the table with a fairly fleshed out idea of what
you want - wireframes, API details etc. would be awesome of course, but no worries if you&#x27;re not
that prepared - we can hash it out over a Skype call or similar. You just need
to have a reasonably solid view of your idea. Naturally, this should be an MVP
or something completable in a week or two, but if you&#x27;re not sure if your app is a good fit, try anyway.<p>$750, by the way, was chosen as it&#x27;s about as low as I can go in my current
situation while still allowing the proper amount of time and dedication to do
a great job - I briefly considered &#x27;free&#x27;, but I don&#x27;t want this to be a
throwaway project, or neither of us gain anything out of it. We have to build
something great for it to work. :)<p>Anyone interested please drop me an email: sam@pizzey.me.
