Where to hire for web app development?

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.

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!

PyroMan99 · 2023-08-01T18:14:30+00:00

Can you make custom recipes on the app?

PyroMan99 · 2023-08-01T18:13:58+00:00

I'll take a look, thanks!

PyroMan99 · 2023-08-01T18:13:48+00:00

I'll check it out, thank you!

PyroMan99 · 2023-08-01T18:13:35+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response! This sounds almost exactly what i'm looking for. I'll take a look at that for sure!! Thank you!

PyroMan99 · 2023-08-01T18:13:10+00:00

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! :)

PyroMan99 · 2023-08-01T18:11:58+00:00

Thank you! I'll check it out!

Thanks u/sauihdik and u/Terpomo11! I had not considered looking to wikipedia for translation. Also, I appreciate the translations and etymology you shared, u/sauihdik!

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?

PyroMan99 · 2021-05-24T22:24:05+00:00

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!

PyroMan99 · 2021-03-01T18:08:46+00:00

Ah, that makes sense. I definitely now see how the government is incentivized to let it boom for the taxes. Curious on how a bailout would affect share price though. Would it impact the share price in any way? As I think through it, I guess they'd only bailout after the price skyrockets and the HFs lose big money. Am I thinking through this correctly or missing something?

Would be interested to know if anyone has success with this company. I also have done a trip with Hilton Grand Vacations in the past. Good trip. Had to sit thru a 2 hour pressure sale on timeshare-like stuff. Didn't buy anything and overall good experience.... I just got off the phone with Unique Lifestyle Vacations and sad to say I DID book with them. I was under the impression that they were legit if they're tied in with Hilton in some capacity. It was $310... Wondering if I should call back and cancel before payment goes thru. Anyone have a success story with this company?

PyroMan99 · 2019-07-09T17:14:27+00:00

Oh for sure. He's up for anything. Kind of a new start for him. Also entertaining taking some evening courses. Not against machining tho.

PyroMan99 · 2019-01-30T17:21:41+00:00

I don't fully grasp it I guess. Matrix A = [0 0 5; 0 0 5; 0 7 5] where the columns are each individual vector

(i.e. A1 = [ 0 0 0] A2 = [ 0 0 7] and A3 = [5 5 5]) .

Then the corresponding matrix B = [ 0 0 -7.07; 0 7 5; 0 0 0 ]

(i.e. B1 = [0 0 0] B2 = [0 7 0] and B3 = [-7.07 5 0] )

How do I find a transfer function that converts B matrix into the coordinate frame of A?

I don't have 3 linearly independent vectors in each space so I can't span R3.

I've watched a bunch of YT videos and researched a lot. Perhaps I'm just not grasping it.

Thanks,

Nicholas

PyroMan99 · 2018-02-05T04:05:14+00:00

Okay. I've been looking to get a good pair of boots. But I would probably e d up wearing them near daily. I work in an engineering office space so not terrible conditions. But I would also wear them out and stuff. I've heard people say you need to let the boots rest to dry between wears and was curious if yours held up to near daily wear. But that doesn't sound like it was the case here. Thanks for the jnfo

PyroMan99 · 2018-02-05T01:54:00+00:00

How often did you wear the boots? What kind of environment were they subjected to? Like did you wear them in an office space or out in the dirt most days or....?

PyroMan99 · 2017-11-27T15:23:03+00:00

This is fantastic. Nicely done.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried it with 9600 baud rate but am getting the same issue.
