I agree with Beau for two reasons. One, you are never going to find someone who cares about your idea as much as you do. Revenue splitting works when both sides are invested and want to see something succeed together. When you have the idea and you have the passion to see it through you are going to have a hard time finding someone that essentially wants to work for free with a potential for a payday down the road because they don't see it through the same lens as you. If you want to go this route you need to pay for quality up front. Whenever I quote projects for people they are usually shocked at the actual development costs for a production-ready product. Second, even if you don't end up doing the entire project yourself, having the understanding of what it takes helps you to have educated conversations with potential partners or contractors down the road. You'll know where the hard parts are hiding and what sort of complications may arise. You'll also know which parts are the low hanging fruit that you feel comfortable tackling on your own which will save you some money on your project if you do decide to hire the complex parts out to someone else. Either way you wind up with a better understanding of your project and the work it will take to get it into the real world. Then you can properly decide if you want to bring someone else on board because now you understand what they offer and why the price should be high (if it's too good to be true, it is), or if you want to keep pushing your own limits and see if you are actually a builder/shipper at heart.

Hey Jon. The lovable to Claude Code/Cursor/whatever-IDE-you-like transition is an important one. I think a lot of people find themselves in your position. Lovable/Bolt/v0 will get you to a point and then you realize you will need to get a bit deeper in the weeds to really push it across the finish line. But, that is what separates you from the pack. Take that step and build something that you can get excited about.

Thanks for the intro, Beau. I'm excited to see what folks in this community are building and see how I can help. I love all things Claude Code and OpenClaw so if you have any questions at all feel free to reach out.
