I'm a solo founder building a SaaS product for freelancers. I spent six years freelancing myself, and the most repetitive part of the job was writing proposals. Every job post needs a tailored response, and most people either copy-paste generic templates (and lose) or spend 30+ minutes per proposal.

I want to fix that. The idea is straightforward. The user pastes a job post, chooses a tone (professional, friendly, confident) and adds a couple of points about their experience. The AI then generates a tailored proposal draft they can edit and copy.

That's the core MVP. Where I'm at:

- Wireframes and main user flow are done in Figma

- Validated the idea with a waitlist of around 400 freelancers

- Branding is ready (logo, colours, fonts) What I need from you:

- Frontend in React (Next.js preferred) with Tailwind CSS




- A small Node.js backend that handles OpenAI API calls securely, with no keys exposed in the frontend

- Basic auth (Google sign-in is enough for now)

- Usage limits per user, so free users get a set number of generations per month
- A clean landing page to convert the waitlist Later phases, if we work well together, would include a user dashboard, saved proposal history, custom templates and Stripe subscriptions. I'm not looking for an agency or a team. I want one solid developer I can talk to directly, who cares about UX and will push back when something I suggest doesn't make sense.

Please include a link to something you've built with React, and ideally anything you've done with AI APIs.
