I'm looking for someone who can complete my needs quickly

Hi, we’re a nonprofit time bank. We’ve created a web app with bubble.io. Since it’s not our job, we’re very slow and need someone experienced to finish the job. I’d like it almost ready for use (I’ll enter the data, I’ll complete the design).

What you absolutely need:

SUB-CATEGORIES (categories already visible/editable/deletable) with WF - admin page

“EXACT MATCHES” and “SUGGESTED MATCHES” (using categories/subcategories - preferences - match) - profile/preferences page and WF

! : hassle-free; mobile-friendly; fast; completely in Italian; stripe ID ready; only functional buttons with workflow; flexible, editable; Admin page is visible only to admin.

Button control, smooth operation, correct page workflow:

Index: log in, register (users can only see each other’s nicknames; only AFTER MANUALLY confirming admin can they be seen beyond the registration page); name, surname, phone number, email address, nickname, acceptance of terms and privacy policy with checkboxes; easy to insert stripe ID (selfie + front/back document saved to stripe)

Admin: credits can be manually edited by admin; exportable user list and exchange list (with date, participants, exchange, credit, exchange status feedback); insertion of categories and subcategories - list visible, editable, deletable, with automatic workflow profile page - preferences; user list: editable nickname, name, surname, email address, phone number, credits, registration status - exportable, filterable, editable, and deleteable by admin; exchange list: date, participants, category, credit, exchange status, filterable and editable; alerts, support chat, customizable automatic emails

chat: create From match cards; 1 to 1 + admin; window filled by applicant/offered credit. 1 hour, 1 credit (cannot be activated if applicant does not have enough credit); exchange must be confirmed/cancelled by the offerer, with a button. If canceled, returns workflow to home. Otherwise, the “conclude” button remains active only for the applicant. Can only be performed after feedback (visible only from the admin page). Completed - Credit transfer (update); upon completion of the exchange, the chat is archived; chat archived even if cancelled.

Home: Check wf and updated credit

Matches and exchanges: “Exact matches” (applicant subcategory = offerer subcategory) and “Suggested matches” (applicant category = offerer category); if none, button returns to profile, select preferences - wf to profile/preferences; exchanges

Profile: if modified, notify admin; “Services I offer”, “Services I’m looking for”, multiple selection with drop-down checkbox (mobile-friendly!!), visible only Clicking on the categories displays the subcategories. If you use the automatic save option, it creates “exact matches” and “suggested matches.” If you use the pause button, it doesn’t create anything.

reset_pw, 404,

When the job is done, I’d like help attaching stripe IDs (selfie and front/back document, save to stripe) and linking the URL to an already active WordPress website.

Since we unfortunately have a very limited budget, I’d like to know how much this job would cost. Thanks.

Please include the price (lowest) and the timeframe. I’ll reply if we’re interested.

Time Estimation: 160-170 hours
Budget: 800$

Since the app is built by in-experienced developers, the work might require a complete go through if not complete re-building.

Hi @pinktime.padova

I just sent you detailed response along with my allocated time to complete the project, some of my previous projects and allocated budget

I’m very surprised at how many hours people think this will take as well as how low the prices are.

A typical custom app is usually 80-100 hours for us. Most people can’t afford us though.

We usually work with businesses that are already established and need to automate their business with custom software or help them reduce the cost of their current setup.

We do offer coaching, which is a 1 or 2-hour session with you over zoom to walk you through how to fix things yourself. Sometimes this is helpful for the right driven person that wants to do most of the work themselves and learn valuable skills.

Anyways, hope you find someone to assist you that will do a good job. You just never know with the low prices what you are going to get. Please double check your privacy rules and security setup in the Security Dashboard at a minimum.

Hope that helps! :blush:

You’re absolutely right, security and privacy rules are very important :+1:

That said, this project isn’t a full custom build from scratch , the nonprofit already has a working Bubble app. The request is mainly completing workflows, matching logic (exact/suggested matches), admin tools, exchange logic, and Stripe identity attachment.

Estimated hours can vary a lot depending on scope and developer location. Lower pricing doesn’t necessarily mean lower quality, especially when working with nonprofits or when the foundation already exists.

Given the requirements shared, it’s reasonable that different developers arrive at different timelines. Hopefully the team finds someone who can help them finish the platform efficiently and within their budget.

The fastest way to lose a project like this is to hand it to someone who treats Bubble like drag and drop design work. What you need is someone who can step into an existing app, untangle the logic, fix the workflows in the right order, and get it to a usable state without wasting your budget on trial and error. That is where I fit well. I am used to taking over messy or half-finished systems, finding where the real breakdown is, and getting them across the line.

  • I would start by reviewing the underlying database structure, privacy rules, user roles, and current workflows before touching surface-level changes. In Bubble, that is usually where the real problems live, and if those are wrong, everything else becomes fragile.

  • I would lock down the approval flow early so registration, visibility, and admin-only access behave correctly from the start. Since user exposure is tied to manual approval, that needs to be clean before the rest of the app can be trusted.

  • I would review the admin side next because that is where most of your control sits. Category and subcategory management, credit editing, export functions, user management, exchange editing, and visibility permissions all need to be consistent and easy to maintain.

  • I would clean up the category, subcategory, and preferences structure before building or adjusting matching logic. Exact matches and suggested matches only work properly if the relationships between services offered, services requested, and user preferences are stored the right way.

  • I would handle the matching workflow before chat. The chat should only open from a valid match, and it needs to carry the correct participants, credit amount, service context, and exchange state into the conversation.

  • I would then tighten the exchange lifecycle carefully. That means checking credit before activation, allowing the offerer to confirm or cancel, keeping the conclude action only with the applicant, requiring feedback at the right point, and only transferring credits when the exchange is actually completed.

  • I would make sure canceled and completed exchanges archive cleanly and do not leave active buttons or broken workflow states behind. This is the kind of detail that separates an app that technically works from one that is actually usable.

  • I would test the profile and preferences area heavily on mobile because dropdown checkbox selection, category to subcategory expansion, auto-save, and pause behavior are exactly the kind of things that break the user experience in Bubble if they are not handled carefully.

  • I would review all navigation and utility pages after that, including home credit refresh, reset password, 404 behavior, return-to-profile flows, and any dead buttons or partial workflows. That is usually where unfinished no-code apps expose themselves.

  • I would leave the design flexible so you can continue refining the visual side yourself, but I would make sure every active part of the app is functional, consistent, and ready for real users.

  • I would treat the Stripe identity step as a separate integration checkpoint and verify the best way to capture and store selfie plus front and back document data correctly through the Stripe flow without creating broken records or confusing handoffs.

A few of my past projects line up directly with this kind of engagement.

Bluegill Tournament Platform
I stepped into an active platform that already existed but had broken workflows, incomplete logic, and payment-related issues that were affecting real use. My role was not just to patch random bugs. I had to understand how the system was supposed to work end to end, stabilize the product, fix the critical workflow failures, implement Stripe Connect properly, and improve the reporting side so the platform could actually support live operations. That ties directly into your project because your app is also at the stage where the difference between working and usable comes down to workflow control, state handling, and cleanup of incomplete logic.

EZP SaaS Platform (ezp.biz)
This was a rescue situation where the product was incomplete, unstable, and not ready for launch. I took over the existing system, worked through the unfinished flows, fixed structural issues, reduced the instability, and pushed it toward production readiness. That is relevant here because your project is not about inventing a brand new app from zero. It is about stepping into something that already exists, identifying what is broken or half-done, and finishing it properly without wasting time.

The Property Plug (thepropertyplug.org)
This platform required structured matching logic, admin-controlled configuration, calculation rules, user-facing workflows, and a system that had to stay editable as the business evolved. I handled the logic architecture behind how users interacted with data, how admin controls affected the experience, and how the workflows stayed manageable instead of becoming chaos. That matters for your project because your app depends on categories, subcategories, preferences, admin visibility, and workflow-driven behavior all staying aligned.

For cost, if the existing Bubble setup is reasonably organized and I am refining and completing rather than rebuilding major structural pieces, I would expect this to fall around $2,500 to $4,000. If the database and workflow setup are significantly off and need heavier restructuring, it could go higher. Timeframe would likely be around 2 to 4 weeks depending on the current state of the app and how much cleanup is really needed.

I am open to a call if you want someone to review the app honestly and tell you what can be finished quickly, what needs to be reworked, and where the real effort is.

  • Is the current database structure already finalized, or are categories, exchanges, chats, and preferences still being reshaped?

  • Is Stripe already connected at all, or would the identity and document flow need to be set up from scratch?

  • Are exact matches and suggested matches partially built now, or are they still just planned?

  • Is the admin area already functioning with partial controls, or does most of that still need to be wired up?

  • How close is the current app to live use today if I ignore design and focus only on working logic?
