Are any coders looking for a side job? 😊

[alex_pi]

I bet many of you are coding not only for yourself but also to help others as freelancers or co-developers. From our perspective, we’ve noticed that there are people who are seeking technical assistance to implement our API and more.

Let’s use this thread as a platform for coders who are open for side jobs. The rules are simple: Reply here with a brief introduction about yourself, your tech stack, and links to your portfolio/Git/etc. If you’ve already implemented our API, feel free to showcase it and provide details on how and where it’s being used.

From our end, we’ll direct individuals seeking technical assistance for their projects to check out this thread. Let’s see how it goes!

PS: Please refrain from company promotions, as we’ll be removing them. The idea is to facilitate connections between independent developers and people with ideas.

I’d be happy to help anyone, my specialty is data and ETL pipelines!
I’ve implemented most broker APIs and lot of data providers for equities and options.
All of my stuff has been private or behind a paywall so have nothing to show to the public.
My tech stack is .NET, C#, SQL Server, Python, and NoSQL.

Hi. Really happy to help. I’ve used EODHD API for more than 2 years. I develop in my spare time trading data analysis and bots, using Python (but I’ve experience also in Java or NodeJS as well). You can see some articles at:

Hey @Xavier - I have an idea for a daily stock-market game, much like the daily games that have become so popular in recent years like Wordle, Connections, etc etc. I’ve fully mocked-up the designs of the game and how it would work, now I’m looking into the data realities of powering the game.

Would you be willing to hear me and have a talk about what I’m trying to do and how feasible it is?

[josh_whitkin]

Hi Will, i’m a retired video game designer, happy to advise on your project if you want. My thing was more 3D games but I have built 2D casual web games too. I’m not looking for paid work. I just like the sound of your idea and happy to offer my 2c if it helps.

Hi Josh!

Thanks so much for replying.

I actually took some vacation from work to try my hand at vibe coding, and made an initial test version myself.

I now have feedback and ideas for improvement, plus annoyingly the layout isn’t as tight as I had hoped (scrolling on mobile, have to zoom out on laptop).

So for now I’m just deciding my next move and furhter amounts of time and effort I an dedicate to it.

Feel free to try it out - on your phone go to dailyhold.fun

Just one example test day for now, and you can reload/refresh after selling to play that same day over and over.

Hey, that is a fantastic game! well done! i’m very impressed. and yes, i agree - the genius idea is holding down the hold button.
it played fine on my laptop. no zooming needed.

why do you enforce such a long cooldown before we users ca nplay again? i was keen to have another go!

i love your overall goals for the project and share them. i’m impressed you got this out in 2 weeks. you did a good job with yoru project scoping - i’m more wandering with mine mainly learning the ai coding tools - ive tried a lot.

[Will_Snow]

Hey Josh - thanks so much for the positive feedback, it means a lot! I’m super glad the simplicity and primacy of holding the button connected with you!

Re: the daily play, well that’s the unorthodox beauty of daily games - by limiting players to just one single game a day, I think it actually helps to build the habit and routine. E.g. Wordle, Connections, Fraed, Waffle … there’s so many!

Haha yes well it helped having had this idea in my head for many months before, helped me focus.

The only problem now is trying to find the time to continue building as I can’t really take any more vacation from work .

Thanks again!

I understand daily games - two player reactions m 1) I just didn’t feel the fit with this mechanic. The time pressure feels different to me from most dailies.

2. on the first go with any new game, you want players to end with hunger for more. They need to “get” your mechanic, and focused on how to win, not how to play.

Puzzles like wordle don’t have time pressure but still require a few goes and a tutorial. Do you remember learning the colours?it wasn’t obvious first try. But once you got that got pleasantly curious about the winning strategy, then you wanted more right?

As a player I needed a couple gos to understand the game and achieve that “ooh I’ll get it next time!” feeling. I assumed I was getting a practice run, because of the novel mechanics and overall first play tutorial feeling…and then I was locked out! Felt a bit annoyed. Give us 3 gos, or practises, is what I wanted.

Anyway that’s my firstime player reaction - if the game doesn’t take off, changing the cooldown will be an easy thing to experiment with .

What’s the most similar game you’ve found? I found a casual forex trading game that I’ll never forget the experience of (I have forgotten the games name alas - many years ago). I had my kids play it. The moral of the game was “forex trading is gambling not investing” or at least that’s what I took.

Vibecoding is such a huge time investment right now! I’ve been going hard at it for a week, loving it but doing nothing else. I’m retired so it’s like my job right now.

The only problem now is trying to find the time to continue building as I can’t really take any more vacation from work .

That is frustrating I bet. Great job building it and all the best. Lmk if I can help.
