OT: Wanted: Android App Developer $??? Reward ...

[Paul Mooring]

Not to discourage you from trying to make this happen, but a bit of
perspective might help.  Currently android/java developers are in great
demand, where I live the average salary is around $110,000/yr or roughly
$2100/week.  Having done a bit of contract/outsourcing work myself, I can
tell you the experienced contractors/developers intended to lose as much as
a weeks time on any project just trying to understand what needs to happen
and working with the stake holders to make changes along the lines of "one
more simple thing".  The take away is there's going to be a minimum
price/complexity to justify taking on a project for a skilled/competent
developer and if your app doesn't meet that benchmark you're going to have
hard time finding a U.S. based competent developer interested in it.

This doesn't mean it's a bad idea or you shouldn't do it, just keep in mind
that while you may be really passionate about your idea to developers it's
one of many offers to work on a contract for an individual  offering below
market rates.  That's a great fit for  contractors in India, students or a
dev trying to expand her skill set (web dev still learning mobile apps,
etc.) but not so appealing to established professionals.
