Looking for outsourcing FMX development

[Bob Baudewyns 3]

Hi,

I'm looking to outsource the development of a standalone generic custom dialog box framework that can be used from a simple MessageBox (error, warning...) with icon to flexible container to display almost anything

Can also act as message toaster

 

Based on the following specifications:

• FMX Framework. Compliant with FMX styling
• Independent unit as non-visual component
• - Non-modal mode like a simple pop-up message
  - Modal mode, interrupting execution proving same user feedback as standard dialogs when clicking outside
  - Toaster mode with duration
• Fully localizable
• Size: Fixed, Autosize, Sizeable (Win, OSX) 
• Screen Position: Top, Center, Bottom
• Options to modify
  - Dialog Background (Color, Fill, Gradient, Image) with opacity
  - Margins
  - Dialog Borders (Color, stroke), Corners (Radius), Shadow (Color, opacity)
  - Shade or Blur the background application behind it
• Screen Position: Top, Center, Bottom
• Appearance and disappearance with animations.
  i.e. :
  - Fade in / out 
  - Fly: scrolling from a side (top, bottom, left, right)
  - Grow / Shrink
  - Split / Wipe, etc...
• Generic methods to open, update (i.e. progress dialog) and close the dialog
  Modal result

 

1. No dependency with another third-party library
2. Full code source delivered. We are owning that code (negotiable).
3. Shipped as a Delphi packages (10.4, 11).
4. A demo application must also be provided to validate the deliverables
5. Need an invoice

 

Please send me your best proposition possibly with additional features in private message

Don't hesitate if you have any question to discuss or any comment to improve this project

Is there anything else you would like for free? How 'bout we all pitch in and pay this month's mortgage for you?

Hi Patrick,

Yes but I would prefer a standalone implementation not relying on another library

Not sure I understand your point here.
I'm asking for a proposal meaning that I'm, of course, ready to pay for that.
Sorry if this was unclear in my message.
I just need an invoice.
Are you interested ?

Coming up with additional features or ways to improve the project is what some people do to make money. That's creativity and innovation. Asking for those things up front means they would be doing free work.

 

Design, requirements, architecture are all activities that people should be paid to do, not asked to do for free. Also, those things should be 75% of the project. Coding should be an easy 10% of the work, done just before testing.

Well, this is not the feedback I was expecting from my post here more than one year ago.

I guess this approach is not working that well.

 

Two heads are better than one. I see my request as a potential collaboration with a developer.
Even for additional developments.

Just keeping an open mind for other suggestions.

I assume that additional works shall be included in the final price anyway.
 

Again, I am not asking for free stuff. We are in the "Job opportunities/Coder for hire" section.
I'm not a native English speaking person. Sorry if my wording was poor and unclear. 
I sincerely hope that this unproductive discussion is now closed.

I didn't understand Rick_Delphi's reaction either, when you are asking for an invoice it should be very clear that you are willing to pay for the service.

This could be a communications issue, but these things:

 

with additional features

any comment to improve this project

 

would be discussed after hiring someone to work on requirements or design, not for the proposal. They would be discussed while people are on the clock and getting paid an agreed upon rate.

Hi Fajar,
 

Thanks for your feedback

If you are interested, please contact me at contact@smallconsult.com
I'm looking first for a budget estimation for this development based on above description.
Final specifications and cost will be agreed together before starting the job. (Trying to be cautious here )

Excellent!, asking for things in addition to the specifications, like additional features, comments that improve the specifications, etc. Could possible be argued to be requests for work at the person's going rate. So, if my going rate is $150/hr USD and I provide you with additions to the specifications. I've just completed work for you at $150/hr.
