Hello-

I have a idea for an App for the iPhone but you guessed it I'm just an idea guy and not even close to being bright enough to build it. Can anyone please point me in the direction to find someone to hire to build me an App.

Thank you so much

I am interested in this topic as well.

A few questions:
1. Where can you go to hire a developer?
2. Do you have to have an office setup with a computer for them or do some work from home and meet at starbucks?
3. What is the average rate a developer might charge? maximum or minimum?
4. Is an hourly rate typically applied or is a per project basis fair?
5. Is there an online community to discuss projects and hire developers?

I appreciate the help.

(I don't mean to thread jack, I think this will help answer the original question as well)

All valid questions but you probably will get different answers depending on who you ask. You can try posting your project on a freelance site but beware that most of the people on there are "bad" developers. Just remember you get what you pay for. ;)

As a developer it's pretty busy right now, projects for other people and projects that I want to work on. It's to the point that I can choose which projects I want to work on, if I don't think it will be a success and/or interesting to work on I wont do it...the demand is that high right now.

I'm always looking for ideas to add to my current list, and I don't ask for any pay. I just ask that you don't expect any profits from it, either. Also doing business with me would be limited to meeting online. Finally, I'm not the most experienced dev so I may not be able to do what you want. If you're interested, but don't want to share your idea publicly just email me at lipton_lover@mac.com, I use my personal address so I'm not tempted to ignore business emails :rolleyes:

I'm always looking for new apps to implement. I already have implemented three apps on the store. PM for details.
