App development for a calendar/scheduling based app

Jobs / Freelance
1

Hello,

I am looking for someone to work with me on developing an app for iOS and Samsung. The app is Business to Consumer. I would also like the app to work on iOS desktop and laptop as well.

(Calendar app)
Basic Framework of the app:

  1. Create a user database, where users can add each other as friends
  2. Users can create events on their calendar that are intuitive, and simple.
    -What do I mean by intuitive and simple? Intuitive enough so you do not have to guess what buttons to press like on Apple Calendar. Not as simple as Apple Calendar where there are not enough features to do what you want. And also not complicated like most other calendars that have too much clutter and some overly complex features.
  3. Emails can be sent to the app for the app to receive.
  4. AI integration
  5. Calendars can be manipulated for collaboration optimization.
  6. Messaging is also a feature of the app

Other note Payment I am particular with, someone with a good payment system I would be interested in working with. Whether it’s commission, or by page, etc. but I will not do hourly. Whatever deal is made, it will be contractual.

I’m keeping it vague, but if you are interested and can provide me a portfolio of any sorts that would be appreciated.

If anyone has any suggestions to what I can add to this post to make it more specific, please do not hesitate.

Thank you,
Carson

Hi Carson,

Your calendar app idea sounds ambitious and full of potential! However, based on my experience, I’d like to share some advice to help you avoid a few common pitfalls and set you up for success.

Start Small and Solve a Core Problem
It’s tempting to throw every feature you envision into one big development assignment, but that approach can overwhelm both you and the developer. Instead, try breaking your project into smaller, focused pieces.

Start by identifying the one feature that solves your users’ most pressing problem—something they’d pay for immediately or at least download and actively test for free. For example, if event creation is the biggest pain point for your users, focus on building an intuitive calendar interface first. Once you validate this feature, you can expand into messaging, collaboration, or AI.

My Experience with Calendar Development
I worked on a project that also needed a calendar feature like the one you described. I assumed it would be simple to implement, but I quickly found that platforms like Adalo don’t offer many easy-to-use calendar functions. Development became tricky, and I ran into significant performance issues that ultimately forced me to pause the project.

If you’re planning to use a no-code platform like Adalo, I recommend testing the calendar functionality early. Ensure the app remains fast and responsive even as you add features, as performance can be a major challenge with calendars and heavy data use.

Explore Ready-Made Solutions
Before diving into custom development, consider looking into ready-made calendar or event-focused no-code solutions. There are many platforms out there specifically designed to handle event scheduling, shared calendars, and even collaboration tools. These solutions might save you time and money while providing a solid foundation to build on.

Finding the Right Developer
To find the right developer, start with a small, specific task that aligns with your core feature. For instance, building a basic yet functional calendar that your users can test. This approach allows you to evaluate the developer’s skills and gives you something tangible to launch early.

Open to Brainstorming an MVP
If you’re open to sharing more about what your app is really trying to solve and who your target users are, I’d be happy to brainstorm an MVP idea with you. Sometimes, having a fresh perspective can help identify the simplest, most effective way to start solving your users’ problems right away.
