Where can a startup look for a programmer?

Question

Startups

An interesting startup is going to implement a front-end in Javascript. The task is complex and interesting enough to interest a professional.
In accordance with the totalitarian decision of the management, until the completion of the demo, we are not looking for investments and are conducting indie development (please do not flame about it).
Where is it better to look for such a person, on what resource?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

As the founder of one startup (not a toy website, but a manufacturer of a product that is used around the world by global companies), I will say that it is almost impossible to find employees for %%. What to do?
There are several solutions, and they are not ideal.
1. Find a talented student and offer him a small fee (we're talking about 300-500 USD per month if you don't know the length of the development process). This amount is comparable to the money for hosting, test equipment, etc. Therefore, it can be considered a "free" solution.
2. Take a successful programmer who has done more than one project as a share. Of course, you will have to give a large share of the company to such a person - if you can convince him to spend a few weeks or months of his time (perhaps after working hours).
3. Go open-source. close design, etc. Open engine. In any case, the code is only part of the project. Ideas, implementation, communication with the audience are 60-80% of all success.

Answer 2

will you give a share of the shares?

Answer 3

job search sites.

Answer 4

Any self-respecting proger periodically looks at hh.ru, etc. and monitors the job market - go for it, but no one is looking for a job for free, except perhaps out of boredom or under the influence of magnetic storms.
A professional can be attracted by exceptionally good pay, or by combining pay and interest. For one percent, theoretically, a person can agree to participate (some acquaintances began to cooperate in this way, but then they all regretted it).

Answer 5

Everything is elementary here. Post your proposal and project description on several relevant programmer forums (thousands of them) and wait.
Our people like to participate in adequate free projects. For one, you will find out how adequate your project is.

Answer 6

Just a percentage will not give proper motivation. If the project is long enough, it is difficult to force yourself to work for free for the sake of a hypothetical future. If you attach a good description and some additional reward, then there will be more chances.
You can search both here and on thematic resources like javascript.ru

Answer 7

I write and develop a project - www.startupfellows.ru

Answer 8

my recipe is this.
I recruit people, with a small margin, graduates and students.
I do an introductory within 1-2 weeks.
and then I send with one senior to a project simulator like this school.academpark.com/?p=541
At the end, the team worked out the idea, accepting it as their own.
More advanced in the topic of the project than me.

Answer 9

1. start-up hangouts - there may also be programmers whom you will be interested in with your idea.
2. special resources a la djinni.co

Answer 10

In my opinion, it is possible for one person to create a successful project, but it is very difficult.
Had experience in creating a project (Android application) Hiddecall . For those who are interested, look in the play store, just enter hiddecall in the search.
Design + code working with a database connecting a lot of api was not difficult for me, but I'm failing in promotion. I could not promote it, although the thing is interesting.
Let's summarize the results of the project:
- Application creation time is 118 hours.
-Time spent on the release of updates to the project 12 hours.
What I got for 4 months of the application:
-2,000 users.
-Monthly income 29 - 34
tr
--To sum up the full result, then 130/8 - for 17 days of work, I increased my income by 30 per month.
I believe that if I understood the promotion of the application, then this figure would be 10 times more. But it is impossible to be a universal soldier.
Therefore, I will describe 2 points that should be present in each project.
1 - Simplicity of design and interface
2 - Innovation - The project must be original and will not be repeated !!!!
