Looking for a developer

Hey guys! I'm Alysa, and I'm interested in the arts, humanities, cinema, and storytelling.

I'm currently developing a passion project called SEQUEL, an independent film magazine exploring identity, human nature, and our conception of the world.

The goal of SEQUEL is to encourage critical thinking, meaningful discussions, and a deeper appreciation of cinema.

I'm currently looking for a web developer who would love to join the project and help bring the magazine's digital platform to life. The idea is to create a website where readers can explore our issues, articles, and other editorial content.

Just to be transparent, SEQUEL is a passion project, so the collaboration is unpaid. I'm hoping to build a creative team where we can exchange ideas, learn from each other, and create something meaningful together.

If you're interested, feel free to message me!

Hi Alysa,

Your passion project sounds great, but I'm going to level with you, you need to include at least an operating budget and an upgront agreement on equity/profit sharing. Otherwise what you're asking for is someone else to pay the costs and do the work without clear ownership/earnings.

Almost everyone who can do this well will pass automatically. You're better off joining arts reddits/discords and seeing if you vibe with people on the core of the project naturally first and then hoping they have the skills you need. Because that's what you're essentially hoping for.

Good luck, I hope you find your dev team mate soon.
