Paid or free consultation for project needed.

Thunder_Child

Hey folks. Big project idea...backed by a potential client. He doesn't know he will be a client. Lol. But when I show him my 2 ideas....jaw drop...hook set....reel him in or For myself.

But first I need a consultation with a "guru" to see if GameSalad is capable of my idea. I am asking...if someone would be willing to have a consultation with me. Most likely it will lead to a paid job either teaching me how to get it started or building the front end and tables. It would end up a contract job whatever happens and a confidential policy included.

Sure I've been tinkering with games but it's not my day job...I'm very good at my day job...so "good" I'm ready to make 2 apps to make my "millions"....and it's not even a game, however I do believe it totally within the realm of capabilities of GS.

Scope: Bidding Software.

Uses an excel sheet/s to grab variable numbers. Has multipliers. Allows user defined inputs (numbers).

It would be for iOS and Mac. Eventually all Platforms (nook, Windows 8, Kindle and so on)

I really hope to hear from someone. Someone with advance tables knowledge.

Please PM me soon.

Hmm. Bidding. Interesting. Updating values etc is possible, Sure, but I don't see how you'll send payment within the app?? Obviously I haven't heard the big picture yet so I'm not sure exactly how it'll work.

Let me elaborate a bit....there would be no pay from within app...bidding means you provide a general cost as not to exceed.

Imagine me sitting at my Mac or iPad at a desk looking at prints....I gather I formation, wether it be 15 light fixtures...200' of conduit with wire and such. I then use this software to generate a cost I then tell the customer. They then accept it decline. (Not from within app...they don't know about the app....this is on the contractors side of bidding....not the customer side of project I may be bidding.

What would be the specific benefit over a spreadsheet?

Thunder_Child

@Armelline‌ Currently my bidding guide I have created is in an excel spreadsheet. If modified correctly I assumed in could be part of my quarterly update to laid customers who buy the app. Again I don't know tables. I am assuming. I DO want the user to have some control over the numbers...some of them...but the guts of the app would be locked and I thought grabbing numbers from a spreadsheet. And...and....if thus asynchronous server thing is what I think it is....I would want the info on one so the app would grab the info there. But now I'm going places my body can't cash....lol

Thunder_Child

It feels and sounds large scope. It probably is but there are absolutely no real bidding software a available like I want to provide....Even my boss has to use a PC to bid...so do I. I want it on Mac...and so I want to rule that.

Thanks for the reply via thread and PM. I'm not in a rush. My first priority I to know can it be done. Maybe then a small test version. Just a few rows of "assembles" to test ad hoc. Once I know it can work...and what values to put in....over and over and over....I would take over the project.

As far as benefits vs spreadsheets...I can't market a spreadsheet as a tool for bidders in construction. Via the App Store and Google Play...platforms I believe I can.

Sounds interesting. I've used tables for a few projects but nothing with any server hooks ups yet. The back end coding of server connections scares me... lol

These Server thing is secondary. My primary objective is a stand alone app that I provide updates for....versions quarterly or 6 months.

I have been working on a couple of business apps (One for a client has been released) and have a lot of experience working with tables and different methods to display them. I sent you a pm.
