Have you tried raising a flag out there for anyone to help?
I have and I have a few people offering to help and a few more offering to help - for a fee. The frustration comes with the problem that the people who offer to help never do and the people who I hire to help often move much slower than my patience can allow for. This is mostly due to the fact that I am broke and can only afford people who do this on the side.
Don't get me wrong it's not that I cannot program, thus solving my own problem, it's that after years of trying, learning and effort I still suck at programming. What takes me hours to do takes [you] minutes. That's hours away from everything else. Hours of frustration and hours of face-bashing.
I am actively attending meet-ups, I am here and numerous other places and I am actively 'socializing'.
The great irony is that it is easier to find users than it is to find a partner.
