Just get an Upwork.com account, post a job, read through the multitudes of people begging for your job and pick one. My due diligence is usually just reading the comments about the person. Admittedly, I don't quite understand the tasks you're requesting in that github post but I'm sure there's a Ukrainian or Indian who does.

Are there any individuals or services any of you chaps would suggest?

After five minutes on Fiverr, I've been blocked as being spam and of the thirty people I've contacted, none of them have the skillset. It isn't a matter of price, they just aren't able to do the job.

Huh. I'm just gonna say you guys have had very, very, very, very different experiences with this than I have.
Oh, there are lessons learned alright. Love to hear your anecdotes.

Full disclosure, my autocorrect has learned to insert Filipina after "fi", go figure.

Every Ukraine dude or female I have worked with also got the job done despite language barriers. Broken English is the world language lol.

Half the jobs ive had do all their development in india. I love using Filipinas for cold calling, though you have to buy them generators and watch them like a hawk. If i was a coder I'd probably consider outsourcing my job like I've heard some people have done. Once i get some more commissions at this new job I'm thinking of hiring a Filipina to get me extra leads.

I'm going to put in bounties for the issues I just submitted for the Yet Another Pomodoro App v2.

Issues #62 - #70 at -
https://github.com/YetAnotherPomodoroApp/YAPA-2/issues

Wanted to give you folks first dibs to earn the cash on these assuming it's at a rate that won't empty my entire account. Also would like Trello / JIRA task and card integration if possible, but I have no idea how long any of these would take.

So if you'd like to or know someone who is willing to, please give them and myself a heads up as I think these should be pretty simple (in truth, I do not know). I haven't actually posted the bounties on any sites yet as I thought to pay someone without them taking a cut.

Thank you fellas!
