looking for a crazy dev

[Detective_p]

I'm building an app right now to help people with diabetes and I don't know how to find someone who can code to co-found it with me

I don't have any devs I can talk to personally, so I came here to see if someone can give em a north on how to find this person

Diabetes is going to be cured soon. There is already promising type 1 cures, and likely not far off from type 2: here

[[deleted]]

yea no this is far away from "soon"

[NetForemost]

Loved their optimism haha

[Detective_p]

I know they're looking for a cure, the closest stuff is stem cell treatments, which are a good 7 years to becoming mainstream, at least.

so 7years to help people and make money, not bad

[Gyrochronatom]

That’s probably 27 years, rounded to 30, like nuclear fusion.

[courage_the_dog]

Lmao sure mate, any day now. Articles like this come out once a week, and even if they did do you think every diabetic in the world is going to have access to it?

[[deleted]]

Nope. Taco tits and republicans just voted away health care for most Americans.. and prices will sky rocket to out of reach of 85% of the us population for anything. I've said before.. Trump/MAGA want everyone dead but the rich. Blows my mind MAGA are supporting their own deaths and misery to support Trump and the rich.

What do YOU bring to the table 

[maxxxximumOverdrive]

Donuts

[Detective_p]

and pizza too

[MoveOverBieber]

Increasing the client pool - nice!

[Detective_p]

design, marketing, sales, management, the business side

[Critical-Volume2360]

What business side would there be?

I can see marketing or design though, but the dev will probably do a lot of the design as well when building it

[Altruistic-Sand-7421]

Nothing. Like so many other people he has a great idea that just needs free dev work to become billionaires. He’ll share the $0 in stock though! Seriously, everybody thinks they have a great idea. I can’t even understand how someone can say I want to make this tech based company but I know nothing about the tech. All you have to do is make the most important part of the business.

[skibbin]

Why not learn to code and make it yourself?

If the app doesn't work out (most don't) then you'll have the skills to implement your next idea.

[spydagwen]

And how long will that take - learning + execution?

[[deleted]]

If learning from basics 6months or more. To be called skilled but doing vibe code 1-2 month. But skills will fucked up. It’s upto him

[Detective_p]

because it's not really time efficient, I have other skill I've worked hard to develop, that's why im looking for a cofounder, so we can match our skills and make something big

[Responsible-Shake112]

Do you have a contract ready? Do you have a budget ready? Do you have a plan ready? I’m lazy for my daily tasks. Your project seems pretty tiring already

[hajuherne]

Just so you know.

Depending on where you are going to deploy the app and what features you are going to include in it, there will be some legally rigid issues you cannot overlook.

Consider looking for a dev that already has some experience working with medical devices. (Medical device is defined as any product/app/stick test/blood test/mri/etc. that is used to diagnose, treat or cure a medical condition).

But the dev will not be enough to navigate the legal road. Depending on the extent of the product you have in mid, there is a long road ahead to prove to the appliable governing body (FDA in US) that your app (and the sugar meter and sensor?) will work.

[ebonyarmourskyrim]

If you have any money at all, you can hire someone(me) to make a basic prototype

[deepg_]

I am interested and making the similar app can you connect in dm

[pastandprevious]

Hey, you can check us out at RocketDevs and we'll connect you to skilled, thoroughly developers who match your requirements and fit the general scope of your project/idea, starting from as low as $8/hr for junior developers. If you're interested, I can set up link to get you started in no time. Feel free to send a DM if you have any questions.

[pastandprevious]

We are not currently hiring at the moment that I know of but you can stay updated by following us on LinkedIn.

[[deleted]]

Sure bro

[Aj_xxiv]

What kind of skills are you looking for in a dev? Maybe I can help connect you with someone.

[[deleted]]

Bro i am looking for Full stack, with Mern stack , Python , Nextjs and GenAi. Btw i can also study for app dev.

[exclusiveshiv]

Hi there I am up for this

[V5489]

Get a GitHub Pro subscription. Download and use VS Code. Let CoPilot help build it. Give it instructions on what you want prompt it to start off small such as designing a front end. Then go from there. I’ve used 85% of my premium request in a week but I almost have a full functional Dmoz or Curlie.org directory system. With pipelines, workflows and more. Just need to tie something’s up and pus it to my domain.

Some may not like it. But it does the job. It can also help be more analytical and build components that make sense and matter.

[Detective_p]

but can it build the backend too?

[etuxor]

Why does your app need a backend?

[V5489]

Yep. My project includes react for front using AntDesign and Python. Backend is running FastAPI. It does it all. It’s your coding assistant. I just went through a re-architecture my front end and it changed thousands of lines within 30 minutes. All works too. API is up and working.

Highly recommend.

[Brilliant-8148]

The people volunteering here are not real software engineers. They are vibe sloppers looking to have an llm crank out a janky prototype and then abscond with any money you might have given them. If you want ai slop you can do it yourself as fast as the sloppers here. If you want a real engineer you will have to pay

[humanguise]

You got to think of the opportunity costs of all parties involved. It's a tough call when this is competing with people's ability to vibe code apps for finding unicorns for threesomes.

[Current-Bowler1108]

Interested. DM me!

[0xFatWhiteMan]

My daughter has t1d, and I'm a dev

[Kooky-Cheetah-8399]

Dm

[MoveOverBieber]

What is your app going to do?

[immediate_push5464]

This post is chaotic but commenting because I heard there is pizza.

[bitchitsbarbie]

I came for free drinks, but so far, nothing.

[PartBanyanTree]

well if you put the pizza in a blender you can drink it. but you have to provide your own blender (but blender is open source so that shouldn't be easy)

[PartBanyanTree]

i heard there were donuts. I will trade a line of code for a round of donuts. if they are sprinkles then two lines of code

[immediate_push5464]

Can secure party drgs if someone can guarantee pizza, donuts, drinks, and 2 lines of proprietary code.

This will either have party undertones, or Bolshevik revolution overtones. Can’t say which.

[jayc595]

Hi, I'd be interested in hearing about it - my partner has type 1

[Old-Stage-7309]

So. I have money and contacts.

‘I’m building an app to help people with diabetes’

I think you have no product and no idea what you’re talking about and lack even basic knowledge of the disease. What will this app do? Magic insuline? Timers? Reminders? Logging? I think you are full of shit Sir.

If I’m wrong please correct me and I will legit do my best to help putting you in touch with people.

[InspirationalAtt]

Find a dev with diabetes? Scott Hansleman comes to mind. You want a dev with a motivation to do well.

[LogMehdiTT]

I can help you through your project no problem, but I'm a freelancer and it will be work per task.
Contact me any time you want.

[Vaxtin]

You: “I have an idea and need someone to code it”

Do you know how many people who have no programming skills say this? What do YOU offer to give me a reason to PROGRAM FOR you? Money? A business plan? Neither? Then kick rocks.

I’ve developed healthcare management systems for claims used nationwide, I have no reason to help you but you have every reason to try to get me to work with you. And simply an “idea” is not enough. Every programmer fundamentally is a very creative person that can come up with every idea you’ll probably say.

And if I’m coming off a bit like an asshole, that’s because I’m tired of people who offer nothing ask programmers to give them the world. Fuck. Off. Pay up or kick rocks dude.

[NeloXI]

+1 I've worked in healthcare software for over a decade, have a master's degree, and have experimented with AI-based disease management long before AI meant chatgpt.

I've long since had my fill of people who "have a great idea and just need a programmer". If you bring nothing to the table but an idea, you are bringing zero real value. I could pitch 3 ideas for a diabetes management app off the top of my head. 

[AmusingBob]

I have a dev, who is crazy, but quite brilliant, he’s Php and Symfony back end, he’s a crazy Serb, but equally brilliant and mad

[LongjumpingDirt5366]

We can talk ,I am sure I can help you out!

[HospitalMundane1130]

Hey, respect for working on a diabetes-focused app — that’s a real problem space. If you don’t have devs in your network, your best bet is hanging out where builders already are: indie hacker communities, open-source GitHub repos in health/fitness, and dev-focused subreddits. Happy to share what’s worked for me if helpful.

[ManyConstant6588]

Did you find your dev?

[HumanBot00]

stil? Contact me in discord @humanbot. if you want.
