@Clueless for outsourcing frontend / app dev effort, i’ve had good experiences with
https://digitalknights.co/
they actually interview and audit the parties they offer access to The tech talent gateway for businesses, entrepreneurs, and startups. Fast, efficient, and trusted outsourcing with a network of verified teams of developers

only bringing up as you half endorsed upwork on discord
Rotonen
2018-09-20 08:02:22
eh, I didn't mean to so much endorse. someone directly asked me where I was going to look.
Clueless

goes and modifies his "endorsement" so it doesn't.
Clueless
2018-09-20 08:04:23
but FWIW i’m so far 8/8 on successful projects with parties contracted through that agency, YMMV, and dunno if we outsource in the same budget range - talking five figures per quarter cash burn
Rotonen
2018-09-20 08:04:46
but asking is free
Rotonen
2018-09-20 08:05:30
and in any case do use multiple platforms and avoid parties whom are eager and hungry on multiple platforms
Rotonen
2018-09-20 08:07:41
and re: endorsing
if you are on a pedestal, even a soapbox, anything you say is an endorsement / diss
and on that discord you are per structure on a pedestal
Rotonen
2018-09-20 08:09:40
you're right, thank you for calling that out, I respect that and have altered the message (albeit too late) as a result.

maintaining a separate PR personality, as is traditional, is hard and uninteresting - look at phil fish for a highly public story on that
Rotonen
2018-09-20 08:10:21
i mean, you can pick and choose there on how to roll
Rotonen
2018-09-20 08:10:40
just do it deliberately, under your own control
Rotonen
2018-09-20 08:11:23
I tend to be very verbose about who I am, what I do, and what I handle, no BS.

normally i've been adamant about preserving my "self", but I've found myself on various platforms more and more, so I think you're right that I should look at that presentation more seriously.

3 second splash screen? Do you hate the users?
Fireduck
2018-09-20 19:21:49
100ms, tops
Fireduck
2018-09-20 19:22:02
If they can't take it in a tenth of a second it is a waste
Fireduck
2018-09-20 19:57:24
@Fireduck allow for them to tap/click it to bypass it entirely.
Clueless
2018-09-20 19:57:38
it's easily editable. :P
Clueless
2018-09-20 19:57:51
bah, I still hate slash screens
Fireduck
2018-09-20 19:58:05
I hate ones you can't skip the wait on
Clueless
2018-09-20 19:58:05
it just says "hey, my branding is more important than your time"
Fireduck
2018-09-20 19:58:25
hm. perhaps 0.5s and allow tapping
Clueless
2018-09-20 19:58:30
will play with it
Clueless
2018-09-20 19:58:42
I actually have never tried tapped a splash screen. Does that usually work?
Fireduck
2018-09-20 19:59:29
Usually no, because companies are idiots. (or waiting for things to load (rarely))
you can set it whatever you want, I don't mind at all.
Clueless
2018-09-20 19:59:51
but if you have one, allow it to be click skipped.
Clueless
2018-09-20 20:01:31
makes sense
Fireduck
2018-09-20 22:21:25
a splash of urine screens i call them
