I need a web developer for my startup

So i hired 3 different freelance devs in the past year for a small saas i was building. all three had clean portfolios, good github, decent reviews. first one delivered late and the code was a mess. second one ghosted halfway through. third one was actually solid.

the catch was, the third one had the worst landing page of the three.

trying to figure out if theres a real way to filter for actual delivery vs surface polish. some things i tried that helped a bit:

a tiny paid trial task before the real project. costs me 50 to 100 dollars but saved me thousands.

asking for a video walkthrough of their last project, not just a link. you learn a lot from how someone explains their own code.

checking how they handle one or two pointed questions in dm. fast clear answers usually predicted good work later. vague answers predicted ghosting.

curious how others here filter when hiring. anyone found a method that actually predicts who delivers vs who disappears

Looking for a senior dev (6+ yrs) who can own projects end-to-end — design to deployment, solo.

Must have: Flutter/React Native/Swift/Kotlin + frontend (React/Vue/TypeScript), API integration, CI/CD.

✅ Competitive salary, stable long-term role, real growth in a mission-driven team.

💬 DM me and send your CV if you're serious.

Hi, I'm the CEO of PeacePlot, a fashion & apparel brand, and I'm looking for a CMS and Google Tag Manager expert to help build our online store the right way.

I'm not deeply technical in this area. So I'm not just looking for someone who executes. I need someone who understands what I'm trying to build, recommends the right CMS for a fashion store, explains the decisions, and sets everything up with long-term growth in mind.

Here's what the project covers:

CMS: I don't have a platform locked in yet, so I'm open to your recommendation based on what makes sense for a fashion/apparel store. Setup should be clean, scalable, and easy for me to manage content on my end.

Design: This is a fashion brand, so the look matters a lot. The store needs to feel premium and polished. No generic templates. I want a design that actually fits the brand.

Google Tag Manager: Full GTM implementation is required. Proper event tracking, conversion tracking, and any integrations needed to measure performance from day one.

Strategy: I want someone who can think beyond just "building it." If you can advise on SEO basics, analytics, or what to prioritize to grow the store after launch, that's exactly the kind of partner I'm looking for.

Budget is $1,000 for the initial build. After delivery, I'm open to discussing ongoing management and maintenance with the right person.

⚠️ To be considered, your application MUST include:

✓ Resume

✓ 3 live CMS site links you've personally built

✓ Relevant certifications (GTM, CMS platform, etc.)

✓ Portfolio site or GitHub

Anything missing from the above won't be reviewed - no exceptions.

Drop a comment or message if this sounds like you.

I am launching a premium digital streetwear brand built around a heavy neon/cyberpunk aesthetic. We are looking for a versatile Full-Stack Roblox Developer who can handle finalizing our 3D Layered Clothing assets and building/scripting our functional flagship storefront.
I handle the creative direction, concept design, and base clothing meshes, but I need a technical lead to take the project across the finish line.

Hey,

I’m building a startup called Novella (book tracking + social reading app), but doing it alone is getting really tough and inconsistent.

Looking for someone to join me as a partner/co-founder.

Skills (any of these help):

• Python / Django
• Frontend (HTML/CSS/JS)
• Backend / DB
• UI/UX
• Marketing / Sales

Honestly, skill matters less than consistency and commitment.

It’s early stage (no pay yet), but real potential if we build it right.

If you’re interested, just comment or DM — let’s talk.

Hello, Expert/Intermediate coders/developers!

I’m looking to hire a website developer, preferably one with experience in e-commerce. I could set up a Shopify store but I don’t like their payment processes so I’m looking for talent that is skilled enough to build a website from scratch. Though, if you know a way around Shopify’s terrible payment processing I’m willing to work with you as well.

About Me: My name’s Vaunt and I’m a reseller. Business has been decent but I’d like to move from 3rd party seller platforms to having my own store. I’m willing to pay anywhere from $300-$800, depending on the quality of your work. I will not just hand you money though, I want to see references or projects to ensure you’re a truly capable individual.

For whoever I choose, I will trust in you and give you freedom to be creative but I will still be working closely with you to ensure the site is up to my standard.

Also, since I don’t have experience in coding, I will need revisions and improvements to the site, occasionally. This means I can easily become a recurring client for whoever is interested. If you’d like to take me up on my offer message me here. I hope we can do great business together, let get to work, my friend!

From,
Vaunt

2-3 month project, fully remote, Mexico-based. Looking for someone strong with Python, GCP, and production REST APIs. You should be comfortable jumping into existing codebases and collaborating closely with frontend engineers.
Wagtail experience is a plus.
DM me if interested.

We’re building a fully bootstrapped tech company from India focused on software development, AI solutions, automation systems, SaaS products, and scalable custom platforms.

Our team includes developers with 13+ years of experience working across startups, enterprise systems, and high-scale applications. We work on product engineering, AI integrations, backend infrastructure, cloud systems, and custom software for businesses across different industries.

At the same time, we’re also building our own product in the security space.

Without revealing too much, the product is focused around controlling and monitoring how teams, APIs, and AI systems consume resources, permissions, and infrastructure access — especially as companies scale and multiple people/tools interact with the same systems.

We started exploring this because we kept noticing the same operational and security gaps across growing teams.

Still early, still validating, and we genuinely want market insight from founders, developers, and security people here:

• Is this a problem you’ve personally faced?
• Do companies actually care enough about internal usage control and visibility?
• Would teams pay for something that prevents misuse, leakage, or uncontrolled consumption before it becomes expensive?

No funding. Fully bootstrapped. Building while servicing clients.

Curious what people think.

I’m looking for someone experienced in programming to help with a task related to SEB.

Budget is around $180–230 depending on experience and quality of work.
