Hi! I’m looking for someone experienced with Reddit’s Developer Platform (Devvit) to help finish or rebuild an interactive app for a subreddit I moderate.

The community gets roughly 3 million weekly visitors, so there’s already a large audience to test and launch the app with.
My goal is to create something genuinely fun that members will repeatedly interact with and, if it performs well, potentially qualify for Reddit Developer Funds. Which can help me with school, I am not tech savvy whatsoever. I did however create the bones of the app if that makes sense xo it's already started, but I'm not opposed to starting something new if you deemed the current app not worth pursuing any further**.**

I already have a Devvit app registered under my own Reddit developer account called cringitime. An earlier developer built part of the project and uploaded several versions, but ghosted before finishing it deleting their account after being paid..😭

The existing build is from an older version of Devvit and will likely need to be updated/migrated to the current platform.

The original concept involved things like:
Interactive trivia/games
Scores and a weekly leaderboard
Community participation/competition.

Repeat-use features such as challenges, streaks, rankings, etc.

I’m also open to improving or simplifying the concept. I care more about creating one polished feature people actually use than stuffing the first version with a million features.

I’m looking for someone who can:
Work specifically with Devvit / Reddit apps
Review any existing code I’m able to recover
Determine whether finishing the existing project or rebuilding is smarter
Update/migrate it to the current Devvit version
Test it in the existing development subreddit
Fix bugs and polish the UI
Help submit it for Reddit approval
Help get the approved version installed in my main subreddit

Give me the complete source code/project when finished
Important: The app and developer account remain under my ownership. I’m not looking for someone to create it under their account and hold the project.

I’m a student, employee and moderator, not a software developer, so I’d prefer someone who can explain things without assuming I already understand the Devvit ecosystem🫶🏻

I’m trying to keep the initial budget reasonable and would prefer milestone-based payment rather than paying the entire project upfront.

Please send me:
Examples of Devvit apps you’ve worked on, if any
Your experience with TypeScript/React/Reddit APIs
Your estimated cost
Estimated timeline
Whether you’d recommend rescuing the old project or rebuilding it.

If you’re genuinely familiar with Devvit, and willing to help me out, feel free to DM me. (:

Im going to say upfront that I am currently an independent college student working part time and do not have a ton of money but I'm willing to work something out that is worth it for both parties.

It’s like grasping at straws trying to make money off of these tragic deaths.
Netflix is making a shit ton of money off of this, the family and friends are too but I’m not gonna give them shit.

Netflix on the other hand. What the hell? Why spend who knows how much to make the documentary if there is no new information to be learned? We could just go watch the millions of other documentaries already out there. Didn’t Netflix already have its crack at the case?

Maybe I’m wrong, I never finished it. Like a little more than half way. Did you guys think it was alright?
