Sup /biz/,

a few months ago I wrote a program, just for the giggles. Turned out it sells. So I rewrote it, added a server application for authentication and released it. Signed up for some related affiliate programs, etc. Later on, after realizing how stupid normalfags are, I rewrote dat shit again to add a GUI. Sales exploded.

Now that I'm old and grey, I don't have the time anymore to keep developing it. So if some anon wants to pimp his github, earn some money and gain some hands-on-experience, I'm looking for you.

As a matter of fact, a webdev would probably be quite useful as well. Still a paid position but the c++ position is still a lot more profitable.

Requirements:
> Wordpress
> Php
> Databases

webdev here, I'm not looking for a position as I run my own company, but we could make some sites for you if that's what you need. PHP and Databases are basically all we do.

Yeah probably. This specific task doesn't require a complex infrastructure. Designed the website myself, wrote my own php plugins, etc.

Hell it's only a 4 digit profit project, 5 best case. The only one worth paying at all would be the lead dev.

How long have you been in the biz? How's it going for you?

It's not the millenial attitude.
That shit is truly vomit inducing tier shit

C guy reporting in , frankly you wont get any serious offers apart from shit tier """programmers""" if you don't reveal any more details about the project, like the scope , time frame, portability requirements, what is the goal of the project etc.
Then again it does not seem that quality is what are you looking for anyway.

Just saying.

Started studying (and programming) roughly 3 years ago and am done with my degree in a month; found the studies too easy so I found a fulltime web dev job to do in parallel. Already prodding around a bit for higher paying jobs, but would rather work on something new that I can shape myself (was interested to see if your idea was relevant to this goal).

In short: If the profit/potential isn't higher than 4-5 digits I'm not overly interested, but GL.

If I learned one thing during my time of self employment then it's this; nobody cares about the quality of your product/service. It's about how you sell it. Also my customers are literally kids who steal dads credit card to buy my software. U'd enjoy reading some of the shit customer support receives.

>>1688903
I mean no offense anon but 3 years of programming isn't really worth anything. Yeah you might be able to make some money with webdev but I highly doubt this would ever challenge you.
Now that you mentioned a more challenging project with a higher profit margin, well I can provide you with exactly that. How's your math?

You are so right. If I chose C# instead of C++ i could easily have implemented integrated ads and offer a free version of my software. Would have made through ads than through sales.

i assume its not a 3d game or anything , if so its not that difficult to redo it in C# unless you have absolutely no programming skills at all.
hell C# does not even need Qt it has a part of the .net framework that handles GUI shit.
If you tell me more about the project and how much resources does it need exactly i can give pointers on if you should even hire a programmer.

Hey, mind sharing a link to your repository.
Just want to take a look at your C++ code.

>> No.1688946

>>1688931
Hey thanks a bunch, anon! Really appreciate it but I'm pretty confident that I know my way around programming.

To be honest, I never touched C# but I could most likely rewrite the software within 1 or 2 days. It's just not worth my time.

It's a stupid program, filling a certain niche for our brothers from /v/. After the release I was surpised how many fags attempted to pay with steam ingame items. So I found myself a partner who accepts such items (+commission aka twice the actual price) and then converts the items into real money.

Long story short, there is still a lot of potential to squeeze out. But not enough for me to bother.

I don't intend to publish the numbers. Posted the pic to demonstrate why sales halted.

4-5 Digits even seems high for your product honestly. Just seems like a scheme to get cheap dev work. To each his own. Also, good luck getting anyone to work for you on a commission based contract that hasn't seen sales total.
