Hi everyone, nice to meet you here! As the title says, I’m looking to recruit a short-term pair programming partner to work with me on a product I’m currently working on—a feature of MarkMark. You may be seeing my text for the first time, so I would like to introduce myself and the background of this project first.
who I am
My internet nickname is Tula Ding, and I live in Liangzhu Cultural Village in the outskirts of Hangzhou. Currently an independent developer, focusing on the development of native efficiency applications in the Apple ecosystem. The first work is Manico , an App launch and switching tool, which has just turned ten years old recently and is still being updated and maintained.
In the past few years, I have independently developed or cooperated with my friends to develop several products, and they are currently being maintained and updated, and have a group of loyal users. Such as One Switch , efficiency control , PasteNow and so on.
What is MarkMark?
At the moment, I am focusing on developing a “read later” product called “MarkMark”. It is currently in the public beta stage and is constantly developing new features. About MarkMark, you can read this article: “A new reading tool for later – MarkMark is officially open for public beta” .
MarkMark is a product I “Build with public”, that is to say, after I define the core functions and tone for it, many functions are slowly grown in the communication with users. For example, “reader mode”, I didn’t plan to do this at first, users need it, and after I did in-depth research, I felt it was really necessary, so I did it.
Now there is another new function that I am sure to do, and that is the “marking” function. When I have a good-looking reader mode, I have the urge to highlight the key points and write notes on the article. So it was decided to develop this feature as well.
But I have only one person, and I am currently focusing on the experience of native functions. Marking this function requires my not very proficient web front-end technology to do it, and time and energy do not allow it. So I thought about recruiting interns or part-timers.
Rough plan for the “Markup” function
The annotation function will be developed with the goal of developing a general web front-end library. You don’t need to consider the data persistence function, because these will be done on the native App side. Just define a flexible data structure and negotiate the communication (data reading and writing) with the native App.
As mentioned earlier, the annotation function will be used in “reader mode”, and only when the webpage can open the reader mode can it be marked. In this way, the annotation function can be more focused, without having to consider parsing complex web pages and elements.
If you want to find a benchmark product, it should be marked like the web version of WeChat Reading, or the mark like ReadWise.
In short, this role is suitable for developers with rich front-end experience but no native application experience.
what kind of programming partner do i need
I hope you are:
- Have experience in web front-end development, familiar with JavaScript, and have some experience in advanced framework Vue/React, and have requirements for code implementation and product details;
- It is best to have experience in developing browser extensions (not important, you can learn now);
- It is best to be in Hangzhou, and it is best to come to Liangzhu Cultural Village regularly. I believe that face-to-face communication is indispensable and cannot replace remote collaboration, especially in the early stage of running-in;
Because it is a part-time job (it can also be called an internship for the student party), I hope that I can work on this project at least three days a week, and the project cycle will be at least one month.
what i can and can’t offer
I’m an indie developer, or “one man company”, not a big or famous company, so I have to make it clear what I can and can’t offer.
What I can provide :
I can guarantee that your results will be used in the products that will be launched. I cannot give this product an expectation of how many users it will gain. Similar to my previous products, it will gain a group of loyal Power Users who have requirements for product experience.
If you have an idea, this component can even be made into an open source component. You can be one of the signed authors and maintain it as a long-term project.
As a one-person company, I cannot provide part-time or internship remuneration comparable to that of large companies, but I will try my best to provide basic remuneration.
If the project is successfully completed, I can provide the necessary internship certificate, or make this component your signature portfolio.
I cannot provide :
- I can’t provide a stable office, we can only collaborate in coffee shops and bookstores.
- I can’t provide a latest computer, if you don’t have a Mac, all I can provide is a 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro for you to use.
- I can’t provide “employment” after the project ends. Financially, I don’t have the conditions to support a full-time employee for the time being. Maybe we will have this opportunity in the future.
If you have other requirements, you can come to talk to me.
at last
If you are interested in this, you can submit your information through this form, and we will further understand and communicate. Because there may be many people who need to communicate, I will end this recruitment process with finding the right person. If I did not follow up or contact you in time, please forgive me, we will have a chance in the future.
