Bobby Clapp asked 2 weeks ago
Hello, my name is Bobby Clapp and I'm the founder of Tech Maven Consulting and I'm here to introduce a new endeavor that I'm calling App Benevolence. The idea behind this initiative is to work with members of the formidable forms community to develop some exciting and useful apps while also documenting the process and sharing it with you in various forms of media (live streams, pre-recorded video, and documentation). You can submit a project request and if selected, your app will be developed completely free. Some of the content shared will be free and some of it will require a paid membership.
You might ask: "Anyone can create a web app with Formidable Forms so why you and why App Benevolence?". I've been working with formidable forms for more than a decade at this point and have helped numerous clients develop business changing web applications. I once supported the Formidable Forms helpdesk in its infancy and have long fostered the formidable forms community. To be clear, I'm not directly affiliated with formidable forms or strategy 11, the team behind Formidable Forms. I'm a third-party champion and proponent of the product.
If I were to answer the question "What separates you from other web developers in the community?" my answer would be this: I like to think of myself as a user experience and design aficionado when it comes to pulling everything together to make a web application. My experience with the frameworks of Formidable Forms, WordPress, and web design, I'm able to facilitate creating complex, yet extremely useful, intuitive, and efficient web applications.
We'll work on some interesting projects and I expect that you'll be surprised at the in depth creativity of the architectural design considerations and methods I put into my work.
I hope you'll join me on this journey. It's a completely fresh and new initiative and I'm not entirely sure what the future holds, but I'm excited to see it come to life in the coming weeks and months.
I'd be glad to be able to gauge the interest in this endeavor. If you have some feedback to offer, please leave a comment. Thanks!

Hey Bobby - it sounds like a cool idea, however, I don't understand whether you're asking for people to work on projects, people with projects that need work, or both.
Thanks for the comment, Rob. I'll look to make that more clear on the website then. This is people submitting projects to the website. Then if selected, I develop the app free of charge, but then I can package it up and resell it.
I think your site is clear on that. It was the following in your post that confused me - "...to work with members of the formidable forms community..."
I added a line after that to make it clear. Thanks!
