Solo Mobile App Developer Needed for Polished V1 App (Quality-Focused)

Job ID: 40142678

Budget: $1,500 – $3,000 USD

Hello,

I’m looking for a solo mobile app developer (not an agency) to build a high-quality, production-ready V1 of a mobile app.

This is a focused build, not an overstuffed one. The goal is a clean, stable, and well-implemented app with a strong core experience. I am not looking for shortcuts, throwaway code, or “we’ll fix it later” work.

I already have:
• A clear written scope
• Screen-by-screen onboarding flow
• Defined core user experience

What I’m Looking For:
• You will personally build the app (solo or 2-person max)
• You care about code quality, UX, and stability
• You’ve shipped at least 1–2 real apps end-to-end
• Comfortable with Firebase, Supabase, or similar backend
• You understand how to build something clean now and extensible later
• You communicate clearly and raise concerns early

What This App Includes (V1 Scope)

This V1 focuses on doing a small number of things extremely well:
• Onboarding with age confirmation and terms:
• Username and profile setup
• Photo, video, and text creation
• Sending content to a limited set of random users
• One-to-one chat threads
• Basic safety features such as block and report

No feeds. No AI. No unnecessary complexity.
Just a solid, well-executed core loop.

Quality Expectations:
• Clean architecture
• Stable builds with no obvious bugs
• Thoughtful UX
• Proper permission handling
• Basic edge-case and safety handling

This app should feel intentional and reliable, not rushed.

Budget and Engagement:
• Budget is realistic for a solo developer delivering a quality V1
• Fixed-price milestones preferred
• Long-term collaboration is likely if this goes well

If you’re an agency or plan to pass this work to a team, this project is not a fit.
