Highlights:
* Probably ~60 hours of work

Absolutely. I stand by my checkbox theory. A really well designed checkbox would sort all of that out for us ;)

I'm even offering to take on an apprentice designer that would get paid and help advise them and scaffold the foundation for them to build upon, while polishing it before shipping.

I think @h would be perfect for this, if she is interested!

So many simple iOS apps are bloated with third-party libraries when native Swift works just fine. Keeping my apps free of heavy dependencies is the only way I've managed to ship and maintain 27 of them as a solo dev.

Thank you! And yes, too many "of them derned kids" lean too heavily on frameworks. So far, all of my work is by hand. It's a little too raw because of it, but people are shocked at how fast a webpage can be without 12MB of junk piled onto it. :)

Thank you for your referrals!

It's been a long time since I hired anyone, so I'm asking people to give me their hourly rate when they reach out.

Do you think that's okay? Or should I just pick a number and run with it?

I'll pass this along to a couple of freelance web devs in my network.
