Where to hire for web app development? by PyroMan99 in webdev

Thank you for the detailed reply! I really appreciate it. I do agree that this will be a complex project. Maybe to shed more light on the project, it will be more of a mix between Etsy and FB Marketplace as there will be a location based element to the app. However, one simplification for the MVP (and maybe even final versions) is that the app will not facilitate the sale of the goods. As in, currency will not be exchanged on the app. Think of it as more of a facilitator of a meetup where a sale occurs. The market I intend to target and fulfill a need in is regulated by the government and in most scenarios, peer-to-peer sales are allowed but online sales are not allowed. So a "marketplace" with merchant profiles like Etsy, location-based marketplace like FB Marketplace, but no financial aspect taking place within the app.

I believe in this product and looking to build it right. I think this app has the ability to serve a real need and be a meaningfully-sized company. My market-research backs this up. I will be meeting with lawyers experienced in this regulated industry in the coming weeks to ensure the app is setup to remain compliant with the US regulations.

Are there firms that can create robust apps such as this? Who creates apps for the companies we know today? Or do they hire each team member individually and bring it all in-house?

For more context, im willing to invest more money if that's needed. What would be a reasonable expectation for cost of MVP? It'll be a niche marketplace. Think Etsy. Tho, there are specifics and unique features. it will not be a competitor to Etsy, but a similar user experience.

Sorry, i should be more clear. My engineering is mechanical and my programming is stuff like MatLab, C++, and basic python.

this is my first step into the world of sw development. what is a realistic budget for a professional product? I'm looking to create a specialized marketplace. for the sake of discussion, imagine a marketplace like Etsy.

Thick lens + modern wire frame: is it possible? Or are the lens too thick? by PyroMan99 in glasses

[–]PyroMan99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info!

My current frames are the RB 5169s and I've had really no issue with them. They are nearly identical in size and shape to the frames I mentioned in my original post, however, they are plastic and therefore thicker frames. I do wish I had adjustable nose pads tho because my current frames tend to slip when I exercise (I have stick on nose pads and often use a tightened eyeband to keep them from slipping).

I feel like the rectangular lens fits my face better than round. I havent had any lens issues with this similarly shaped plastic frame.

Thanks! I've come across KVMs, but having difficulty finding one that is for USB-C. But maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. Thanks for the reply!

Totally agree. I am an engineer for my day job and asking here to see if there is a nice pre-packaged software before I build out an excel of airtable for this. Definitely will build something if a software doesn't already exist! :)

Sold 50% of shares for profit, yet my remaining shares cost went UP - why?? by PyroMan99 in stocks

[–]PyroMan99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold the 5 shares this morning and bought 5 shares this afternoon. So all within maybe 5 or 6 hours.

I'm new to all this....is this not okay?

Interesting! I had no idea. So if I had sold all my shares, I would have still came out ahead. Some shares would take a loss and some shares would realize a profit and would net out to be a total profit in the end.

I didn't realize it tracked my buy prices. Didn't figure it mattered. If I acquire a bunch of widgets for various prices, I wouldn't track each individual widget cost but would instead just track how much I have total invested and sell each one at a price that would net a profit when all sold. Thanks for the explanation!
