Hey guys! We’re in need of an experienced OS X UI developer who is fluent with Core Animation and creating custom views. Some background first.
We have been working on a desktop port of our iOS app for awhile, but because we are a very small team we also get a lot of distractions so we’re not getting there as fast as we’d like. Plus we’re spending a lot of time just trying to figure out things that an experienced OS X developer probably knows already.
We are looking for someone to help us out in the following areas:
Some major pieces like:
1) Build out our custom Day View for our app - one that we’d normally build using a UICollectionView and a custom flow layout on iOS. This includes some custom drawing, custom views coordinated with keyboard/mouse interaction, drag and drop, editing of the elements on screen by dragging handles, a never-ending horizontal scroll by column, etc..
2) Help us finish out some of our popover editors.
3) Adding spotlight search and building out or own search pane
4) Printing
5) Our Today View panels that live in our sidebar
6) Helping us get our map functionality working in the editors and other places. This includes picking locations in the location field of the editor (auto-complete) via Apple’s location searches, map editors to pick locations, and to show a map of a specific day’s events and their locations
Some small things like :
1) We’re using custom checkboxes, but we don’t want to lose the Yosemite look of a custom animation when you check/uncheck the box.
2) Status items with global hotkeys
3) Some code review to make sure we’re doing things right
We haven’t moved to Swift/Xcode 6 yet and we’re open to Swift in the future, but not with our tight deadlines just yet. We are Mavericks + only.
We’ve got a budget and a timeline in mind, and we’re looking for someone who has immediate availability and time to knock these items out over the next 4-6 weeks. Cost and time are based in what we can fit into our budget. We’ve been talking to a couple developers already, but we want to make sure we find the right one. Another thing that’s important to us is that you fit how we work. We’re iterative, so we like to see, adjust, see, adjust. We’re not great with super detailed specs so asking us questions on details you come up with, and again - being iterative - is important to us. Sometimes we find the best ideas as we’re working with our designs in real-time.
If you’re interested - please email me directly at email@hidden or email@hidden - and I can share a lot more details with you. Make sure to let me know your location (its nice to know timezone differences), availability, and your hourly rate. We’re estimating about 140-200 hours for this job. Sample code, projects, or App Store apps you’ve written or were majorly involved in would be nice references.
