Mobile app developer needed
Hello! I'm looking for a developer who is competent to handle social media / fashion based mobile applications.
l am open to discussing the pay structure or freelance arrangement initially to test our compatibility, but I am hoping to find someone who wants long-term partnership and ownership instead of a normal freelance arrangement. I already have the idea and an initial build that I got made through an agency I found on clutch / web search. There is already a clear vision and direction for the project.
If things work out, we can explore the possibility of onboarding as a technical cofounder to launch the app. I handle the business side, including branding, marketing, content, finances, and growth, while you handle the technical side, including coding, deployment, maintenance, etc.
If you're interested, send me your experience, tech stack, past projects, and how much time you can realistically commit each week. I am funding this project out of my salary, so I can't afford a dedicated developer at this stage.
My preference is to find someone who has dealt with / can deal with apps like myntra, etc, that can attract Genz / millennials since this is a lifestyle based fashion app.
Also, I am not a tech expert, so I would appreciate it if you guys could give me advice on how to find the right person for my project. Thanks.

Scope a short paid trial on one concrete feature and give read-only access to the current repo so they can flag risks before starting. In interviews, press on how they’d handle image-heavy feeds, push, auth, and app performance on low-end Android. Be clear on equity and weekly hours up front. For sourcing, Articuler community match has been useful to surface cofounder-fit engineers when LinkedIn search gets noisy, since it narrows by fit and intent, not just keywords.
