GAE-Board | Freelance Projects on Google App Engine..

Why choose GAE-Board? Google App Engine is a cloud hosted service on which you can run robust web applications. App Engine greatly simplifies the development process, and is free to use up to a generous quota. If you think you've got the next great web idea, but don't have a clue on where to get started, GAE-Board is a great choice for many reasons.
Show Reasons For: ( Clients | Developers )

Simple All you want is a website or service with a bit more functionality than say a Facebook Page, Myspace Profile, Blogger or Wordpress Blog etc. But if you go to general freelance boards like "elance.com" or "scriptlance.com", you will confusing jargon like "PHP/Apache/MySQL or LAMP or .NET or ASP" etc. For the uninitiated, these are different ways of setting up a web server using different scripting languages and databases. On GAE-Board you need not concern yourself with any of this. Simply describe what you want done and wait for someone to do it for you.

Cheap GAE-Board wants to ensure that only serious clients post projects so that we don't waste the developers' time with false leads. As a result it costs $10 to post your first project, and $5 after that. However we do not collect a fee when a bid is successful, or prevent users from contacting each-other directly (unlike other freelance boards). So you are more likely to get the deal you want. Plus, you could save even more by choosing existing Templates, which are existing apps that could be modified as per your desires.

Quick So your really excited about your idea and can't wait to get it off the ground? You could save time and money by browsing through existing Templates to find one that can be easily modified to suit your purposes.

High Quality It's an unfortunate, but real, fact that developer communities are not created equal. App Engine Apps are written in Python or Java, two languages used extensively within Google itself. They are also languages with a higher "cred" in hacker culture than say, PHP (the most commonly used language in web development). As a result the talent level/conversational ability of developers within these communities is significantly higher. And the quality of your completed project will likely be, as well.

Simple: Someone wants a web app hosted on App Engine, you know how to make a web app hosted on App Engine. GAE-Board helps you find each-other, and eliminates quibbling over servers, databases and the lot.

Pro-Active: Tired of bidding on elance etc. for projects whose creators never respond? Set up your Developer Profiles, Project Notifications and post Templates to have clients (and their cash!) come looking for you.

Efficient: Why re-invent the proverbial wheel each time you start a new project? GAE-Board allows you to market existing apps as Templates. You can charge a base price as well as a customization price for any client-requested modifications.

How GAE-Board came to be.. Arjun, GAE-Board's founder and developer, started experimenting with App Engine after learning Python for his lab work. Soon enough a friend asked for help in setting up a website, one that was slightly beyond the capabilities of a Facebook/Myspace Page or Blogger/Wordpress blog. This friend did not know/care about which database or server to use, only that she had an idea and it needed a website. That's the basic concept behind GAE-Board: free-lance web development for the rest of us..

What are Bits and how do I use them? Bits, denoted like ¢100, are the currency unit on GAE-Board. Both Clients and Developers spend bits on various services such as posting or bidding on projects. New accounts start with ¢100 bits and you can recharge your balance on your account page. The aim of the Bit system is to keep up the quality of projects, bids and templates.

How can I pay or get paid on GAE-Board?. Currently GAE-Board leaves it up to the developers and clients to work out a payment method, for example PayPal via email. Soon we plan to allow developers to enable Google Checkout as a payment option for convenience. GAE-Board has no plans to charge any "closing fee" on successful projects.
