I wonder if there would be any interest in anonymous application or website development?
I have over 20 years of professional experience in this field, and it occurred to me that many people might want access to professional development skills, but due to the nature of the projects might be wary of approaching professional development firms.
I could offer:
- mobile application development
- custom scrapers / bots
- custom site development (tor or clearnet)
- custom API development or integration into an existing site
- custom tools to process files or information
- desktop applications for linux, mac, or windows
- customization or support for an existing site or framework
I would not be able to:
- write viruses
- hack facebook accounts
- ddos someone's server
- create a kiddie porn site (I could technically do this, just would not be interested)
Basically anything from customizing existing software to fully custom solutions. Pretty much anything you could hire a clear-world development firm to do.
languages / platforms could include:
- c / c++, c#, java, ruby, python, lua, javascript/coffeescript, perl, php
- rails, several java frameworks, several python frameworks, node.js, several php frameworks
- vm frameworks include: adobe air, silverlight, and haxe
I would use escrow, and part of the agreement would be payment only if the project parameters are completed according to an agreed-upon project specification.
The specification itself could be encrypted with me and the customer having the password, and placed as encrypted text right in the listing, with the password only revealed if there was a dispute. That way, even SR would not know the exact contents of the project unless it entered mediation.
This is even better protection for both parties than some clear-world situations where you could complete a project perfectly, yet still not be paid.
So what do you guys think, might there be a market here for anonymous professional development services?
