Flutter Developer for App Restoration and Firebase Replacement
Overview: I am exhausted by the endless stream of applicants claiming to be Flutter experts when their profiles are filled with irrelevant skills like Shopify, React, or video editing. If you don’t have serious expertise in Flutter or are just here to "figure it out," do not apply. Every day, I see applicants boasting about having completed "400 projects" and calling themselves "experts," yet not a single Flutter project is reflected in their feedback or portfolio. This is beyond frustrating. If you are one of these individuals wasting clients' time, save yourself the embarrassment and do not apply. Yes, I cancel projects frequently, because developers fail to deliver. When I assign a project, I expect: 1. Immediate action—start right away. 2. Proper environment setup—be ready to work. Instead, I get so-called experts who: - Cannot configure their Mac M1/M2 in compatibility mode, even with Rosetta installed - Struggle to pull code from Git because their environment is a mess - Constantly ask what they should do because they don’t read instructions or lack basic competence To make matters worse, some developers have the audacity to dismiss the provided code as "full of errors" when it has been extensively reviewed and analyzed with zero critical issues. Others claim all their references are under NDA and cannot share anything. When I request a simple demonstration of their abilities by creating a small piece of code based on provided files, they instead demand the full code. Let me be clear: this is a job you are applying for. The code in my hands has cost real money to develop, and it will not be handed over freely to anyone. The behavior I see here makes me wonder if all the incompetents have suddenly decided to become developers. Then there are those who finish the coding, show me a recording of the app, and demand full payment before I even get the code. Let me educate you: this is not how it works. You do the job, show me the results, and then deliver the code once the project is complete and payment is made. If you think otherwise, you are not ready for professional work. Let me make this clear: I have 46 years of coding experience, from Fortran and COBOL to PHP and Python. If you cannot meet basic technical expectations or follow clear instructions, do not apply. What You’ll Do: Phase 1: Restore Functionality - Restore menus (M16a, M16s, M16l) from stable Git code - Fix product count display in the menus - Restore the saving of analysis data until the user logs in - Cocoa pods in ios, flutter method channel is Estimated Time: 8 to 9 hours (The errors have been present before, and a previous developer corrected them in about 2 hours, so I know by experience this is a small job. The same code exists in the Google Play and App Store versions that are working. I can provide APKs and TestFlight versions as proof that this is functional.) Phase 2: Replace Firebase with SSE - Remove Firebase dependencies entirely - Implement Server-Sent Events (SSE) for real-time notifications - Update and test notification handling on both iOS and Android Estimated Time: 12 to 13 hours Estimated Total Time: 20 to 22 hours Time to Deliver: 3 days, including testing and setup. Setup time is estimated at 1 to 3 hours. Developers who know what they are doing have completed this in as little as 1 hour. and I do not care about new year or any holidays, this is business and not a holiday camp. Requirements: Proven Flutter Expertise: Your profile must demonstrate actual Flutter projects, with verifiable feedback. No irrelevant experience or fake claims. Immediate Action: You are expected to start working as soon as the project is awarded. Environment Setup Competence: You must know how to configure your tools, including Git, compatibility mode on Mac M1/M2, and Rosetta installation. This is basic knowledge. Deliver Without Excuses: The code has been analyzed—there are no critical issues. If you claim otherwise, you either didn’t read the instructions or lack competence. Professional Conduct: Understand that this is a professional job. Do not demand the full code, deliver incomplete work, or attempt to dictate terms contrary to standard professional agreements. Timely Completion: Start immediately and deliver within 3 days. No delays, no excuses. Penalties: Missed Deadlines: Contract terminated without payment. Low Quality or Excuses: Work that does not meet requirements will result in non-payment. This job is for serious professionals who know how to deliver results, not amateurs looking to waste time or milk the clock. If you cannot deliver with precision and efficiency, do not apply.
I need a Ghost Writer for Computer Programming Book...
Num. of words: TBD Tone: Instructional/Educational Extensive research needed: no Extra notes: You will not receive a writing credit for this assignment and this project will be kept confidential. This project was already given out previously. However, as you'll see, the previous Ghost Writer plagiarized virtually all of the information, thus, rendering it unusable. However, the format, aside from the plagiarism, was viable. I'm sending you sample of the previous work done and all of the other written work products are (or should be) similar in style/format. In quotations, are some of the original deliverables, most of which have been complete but in plagiarized form. I will need you to re-write the information that I will provide for you, in your own words, and ensure that the content CANNOT simply be found by a basic Internet search. "This book is about computer programming, in general. It will touch on a number of different programming tools. You will not receive a writing credit and will need to agree to a non-disclosure agreement. I will give you certain general topics to write about related to programming on these topics. HTML, PHP, ASP.Net, C, C++, Java, Perl, SAP, Basic, COBOL, Fortran, Pascal, C#, Visual Basic, SQL, GameMaker, Python, Ruby on Rails Each tool will have a format in which to write about it: 1.) History - (1 to 2 pages) 2.) Primary uses Strengths and Challenges (1-2 pages) 3.) IDE/Compiler information - (1-2 pages) 4.) Sample program (Hello Word), and explanation (1-2 pages) 5.) How to get access it - (1-2 pages)" Most of the above programming topics are covered. You will be adding the few topics which were not covered (Such as GameMaker) as well as ensuring that there is NO evidence of plagiarism. While I understand that certain facts and dates will be consistent across many literary references, when reviewing the work, one should NOT simply be able to do an Internet search to find redundant verbatim work. This book is NOT designed to make the reader an expert in computer programming. It's just designed to be a primer that provides a general overview of programming and programming tools and a general history of programming. The price for this project will be fixed. There is no firm deadline. The budget for this project will be what the most efficient Ghost Writer can complete the deliverables for. You will not paid until all of the deliverables are completed, the work is verified as not being plagiarized, and rating(s) will not be completed until such time.

How to get access it - (1-2 pages) You don't have to to into a great deal of detail. ...just enough to explain it. Other general topics that will be covered in the book are: A.) The history of programming - (...up to 5 pages) B.) Syntax errors versus logical errors - (...up to 2 pages) C.) open source versus proprietary - (up to 2 pages) D.) Fundamentals - (i.e., proper back-ups, up to 5 pages) This needs to be all original content. It cannot be plagiarized from other sources. You may cite/reference sources for historical and professional accuracy (use APA, if necessary). This book is NOT designed to make the reader an expert in computer programming. It's just designed to be a primer that provides a general overview of programming and programming tools and a general history of programming. Additional Information - Give me your best bid up front. - There is no firm deadline for this project, but I'd like it completed by this summer. - My budget is whatever it takes to reasonably complete this project. - Please read all of the information prior to contacting me. - I will be writing portions of the book and editing/modifying the content that you provide. - Please proof your spelling and grammar. - The page(s) requirement is(are) outlined and the minimum/maximum amount of pages should match the recommended guidelines for each section.
