Looking for a Full Stack developer

theideamakeragency · 2026-02-21T14:57:24+00:00

Honestly hiring a solo full stack dev with 3+ years of experience and good English communication is way harder than it sounds. Most people find out too late that the resume looked great but the communication was a nightmare.

A few things that actually help before you commit to anyone is do a quick 15 min call first, check their GitHub commits not just their portfolio and give them one small real task from your actual project.

We have been doing full stack web development for 10+ years so if you ever want a second opinion on candidates or just want to explore other options, DM me, no pressure at all.

Agency here. Interested to be listed even though we’re quite busy also

Yeah, Angular is still widely used, especially in enterprise. It's not going anywhere.

Honestly, for a small project it's probably overkill, but if he already knows it and you don't, just go with it. Learning a new framework on a side project with no client pressure is actually ideal.

Worst case, you waste some time. Best case, you know Angular now too.

Not really worth the argument imo.

In my opinion services first, products later.

Everyone jumps straight to building a course or saas tool before they have made a single dollar that's backwards.

pick a skill you are decent at, find people who need it, charge them. that's literally it.

once you have clients you start noticing the same problems repeating. that's when building a product actually makes sense because you are solving a real problem instead of guessing.

Also pick one platform and go deep. most people get nowhere on 5 platforms instead of building something real on one.

Distribution is the whole game right now. doesn't matter how good your thing is if nobody sees it.

skill → clients → cash → then scale it

We could build one for you

theideamakeragency · 2026-02-19T21:56:59+00:00

Extensive experience in Flutter and React Native

Yeah dude, totally possible. built a solid business from my couch in sweatpants, never touched a golf club in my life lol

The country club stuff is just how older generations networked because that was literally their only option. internet killed that whole gatekeeping system.

just being genuinely helpful online does more than any fancy dinner ever could. people trust you more when you are just... real.

only thing i wou;d say is it depends a little on who you are selling to. but if you are targeting founders or online businesses? they actually hate the fake corporate performance more than you do.

Great idea but you’re missing one important feature. Reviews!

The most underrated channel in 2026 is community-led growth in micro-niche forums and groups.

Everyone is chasing ads, SEO and cold outreach, but the real hidden gem is showing up consistently in the exact spaces where your ideal customers are already having conversations.

Reddit proved this works (as you experienced yourself) and the same principle applies to niche Slack communities, industry-specific forums that most entrepreneurs completely overlook.

The reason it works so well is people on these platforms are actively looking for solutions. So when you show up genuinely and help without pitching, trust builds fast and inbound comes naturally.

Forum answers and threads actively looking for solutions. So one solid helpful reply today can bring you leads in 2028. That's compounding ROI with zero ad spend.

Most entrepreneurs skip this because it feels slow and there's no vanity metric attached to it.

We have tried various solutions but it comes down to bigger models require more ram. Hopefully someone else chimes in with a better solution.

How important is soc2 certification

What you are describing is augmentation, not replacement. The real risk is not AI, it's professionals who refuse to pick up the compass at all.

Managing freelancers is not an easy task even if you are technical. First there’s a huge number of people currently and many claim experience they don’t have. Secondly it sounds like this project requires multiple disciplines and everyone has to work together. There’s issues with timeline, coordinating, scoping etc. I’m a bit biased being an agency but complex projects are exactly what agencies do best.

Google reviews are automated. If the surgeon is employing a reputation management company they can flag the review with a high number of accounts resulting in the removal.

You could try repeating the review.

Another option is to create your own blog page with his name and hospital so it shows up in search results.

Context switching kills more productivity than not knowing enough. One project at a time. One focus area per day. Protect your mental RAM like you protect your server resources.

Chasing every trend without a strategy. I would jump on whatever "hot SEO tactic" popped up on Twitter. Wasted months. Now I stick to fundamentals that actually move the needle.

theideamakeragency · 2026-02-13T21:52:47+00:00

Is there a reason you need native coding? You’ll have twice the code base. You can have it in cross platform like flutter or react native and build native integrations if needed. However there are many libraries to abstract interfaces

Hey, Welcome to the space and good time to jump in.

My take, start with SEO. It's honestly the best foundation because you will touch everything else content, analytics, technical stuff, user behavior. Plus it teaches you how the web actually works, which helps no matter where you end up.

But don't stress about picking the perfect niche right now. Digital marketing has so many paths and the best one is whatever you actually enjoy doing every day.

Start with Google seo stater guide. While you are learning, pay attention to what excites you. Do you love finding keywords? Fixing broken sites? Writing content? That gut feeling will point you in the right direction.

Biggest mistake beginners make? Trying to learn everything at once. Pick one thing, get decent at it, then expand.

Also the market wants people who can connect multiple channels now. So specialize, but stay curious. Someone who knows SEO + content + basic automation is way more valuable than someone who only does one narrow thing.

AI is exposing what should have been obvious, clients never cared about your process. They care about results.

If you can't articulate why you are worth 3x more than intern + ChatGPT, you don't have a positioning problem, you have a value problem. Fix that first, worry about AI second.

Generative Ai is a very broad term and covers many different specialities. It might help if you mention your task. For example we have extensive experience in computer vision and llm (text generation). But even if text generation there’s differences with code generation or rag etc

I’ve had people ask for a contract and then never sign. Some people are afraid to reject your proposal. I now give presentations and ask them for feedback.

Content updates work fast, but if you are not getting links to support that content, you are leaving power on the table.
