Contact
Two kinds of messages reach me here: questions about my apps, and projects you'd like help with. I answer both myself.
About an app
Bug reports and feature ideas work best as an issue on Codeberg. Others with the same problem find the answer there, and you can follow what happens to it.
If you don't have a Codeberg account, or would rather not post something in public, email support@jeanlucmakiola.de.
You can help translate the apps into your language on my own Weblate: Calendula and Agendula.
About a project
I take on client work remotely, in English or German: Android and iOS apps, websites and web apps, backends and APIs, and moving a company's data off US cloud services. Write a few sentences about what you're planning. You'll hear back from me within two working days, and if I'm the wrong person for the job, I'll say so.
Or write directly to info@jeanlucmakiola.de
What helps in a first message
The project in two or three sentences
If you don't know yet what you need, describe the problem rather than a solution. That is often the better start.
Whether something already exists
An existing system, an older version, a contractor who worked on it before. Or we start from scratch.
When it needs to be ready
And what depends on that date. A product launch is not the same as a preferred date, and each leads to a different scope.
The rough size you have in mind
Even a loose range helps. If it doesn't fit, I'll tell you right away rather than after three calls.
What happens next
- Within two working days
A reply
From me personally, and about what you wrote.
- About 30 minutes, free
A call
By phone or video, at a time we agree on by email. Afterwards you know whether I'm the right person, and I know whether I can do the project justice.
- No obligation
A no is a result too
If either answer is no, I'll say so and, where I can, point you to someone who fits better.
Where I am
Brandenburg an der Havel, Germany, between Berlin and Magdeburg. Most of my work happens remotely, so the distance rarely matters. I take calls in English or German, and I'm on Central European Time.
