Hello,

This one is on behalf of our company:

The company I work for is looking for a Hybrid Mobile App developer who uses or who can use the Ionic Framework, the company wants to develop a app.

I wish I could, but I can't give any details about the app publically.

If any of you are interested (this will be an ongoing thing since it would require maintenance and ongoing support once developed), please contact me on mybroadband@mordor.co.za (note: the company is not mordor, it's just an E-mail forwarder I have)

It would be most ideal if you can send some example work and rates if possible I understand rates are very much near impossible to give without a spec, I understand that, hence why if possible please add it if not, it's not the end of the world, the examples however or experience indication if that makes sense is a must.

Just a heads up, you would be required to have a fairly good understanding of the hosting requirements as well concidering the app will have to be hosted and the data stored, I assume that went without saying, but just in case :)

I will have a little NDA which I will send to the interested people.

Okey, cool I think thats it.

How many people in your company? 2 including the person you will hire? :D
Rather call yourself a startup then.

Company is quite big, and they are not looking to hire someone, not sure where the confusion in my OP is if you can point it out I will change it.

They want to outsource this project and not have this done in house if that makes more sense.

but even worse this: "Ionic Framework" -- good luck with that :whistling:

Just interested to know - what's wrong with the ionic framework?

... It's not a permanent or in house position.

I really thought I layed my OP out better than this.

:confused:

I'm actually just finishing some work on a hybrid app which relies on the ionic framework. Only got into this kind of thing recently though, so I'm sure there are candidates better suited for the job.

Open to correction but Droid is a purist. Do iOS dev in Swift and Android in Java. Do it properly or not at all. Xamarin and the likes make him sick.

Spot on... but if you catch me on a good day even Xamarin is acceptable.

IMO if it's not native it's crap/slow. Had many of experiences. May cost more but works better.

Native is better without a doubt.

But sometimes constraints in terms of time and money (or even the profile of the app) might not justify native development. It's a tradeoff. I can totally respect the point of view of the purist though.

I think they would want to go the AngularjS + ionic route in order to avoid having to spend 1 million dollars since hiring a ios dev and Android dev can get ridiculous expensive very fast.

(NO! This is not a do it for as little money as possible thing. I can reassure you. However if the app functions perfectly as a hybrid app surely then there is no need to fork out for native developments. )

Good luck with that.
Success is probably directional proportional to the dumbing down of your requirements.

Isn't property24's app a hybrid app?

I hear you, well I don't think the company is closed to the idea of native development, I think it just becomes a issue of the code base since with a native app there is only one code base.

I'm not here to debate native vs hybrid we all know the outcome I just think price and entry into market would be easier/faster/affordabler going the native route vs hybrid.

So I guess if your a native developer feel free to contact as well it can't hurt.



(I still believe native app development is a intermediate technology it has to exist now, but it will die out as Javascript HTML and css grows up) - that's just my personal opinion in my personal capacity, not related to this job offering at all.
