I am embarking on a research-focused initiative and need a bespoke desktop application built from the ground up. This is unequivocally a software-development project; the end product will be used strictly for internal R&D rather than for commercial release. Here’s the outline of what I can provide and what I expect: • I will supply a clear functional brief—my “edifitas”—detailing the workflow, data structures, and every research requirement the program must support. • You translate that brief into a fully operational desktop application, complete with an installer and well-documented source code. • Windows is the primary target platform. If you see merit in a cross-platform approach (macOS, Linux) we can discuss it, but Windows delivery is mandatory. • A clean UI, responsive performance with medium-sized data sets, and code that I can continue refining after hand-over are crucial acceptance criteria. Tech stack suggestions are welcome—Python (PyQt, PySide), C# (.NET/WPF), JavaFX, or another desktop-friendly toolkit you prefer—so long as it meets the R&D brief and can be built locally from the source you provide. Deliverables at project close: 1. Compiled desktop application (installer or portable exe). 2. Complete, well-commented source code and build instructions. 3. A short setup and usage guide (PDF or Markdown). If you need any further clarification on the “edifitas” or timeline, let me know and we can lock in milestones right away.
