Developers: TextShop Live Review for Hackathon Prototype

Engineering & Software • Paid Survey (Usability study) • Remote • via Terac

Overview

The Developers: TextShop Live Review for Hackathon Prototype role is a remote contract position. It suits experienced professionals who want flexible, project-based AI work reviewed on a rolling basis. You collaborate directly with client teams on real deliverables that help train and evaluate next-generation AI systems, with no long-term commitment required.

We are running a paid study to evaluate a minimal TextShop prototype built during a recent hackathon. We need software developers and technical writers to test the interface and provide live feedback on its usability.

What We're Researching

We're running a paid study on a new TextShop prototype developed as a proof of concept during a recent hackathon. Help us evaluate the core text editing capabilities and overall user experience of this early build. Your feedback will directly influence our upcoming product roadmap and design iterations.

How It Works

You will join a remote video call to interact with the TextShop prototype live. We will ask you to share your screen while you complete a series of basic text manipulation tasks. As you navigate the interface, you will talk through your thought process and point out any bugs or friction points. Finally, you will answer a brief wrap-up survey about your overall impressions of the tool.

Who This Is For

This study is ideal for software developers, technical writers, and product designers who frequently use advanced text editors. We welcome frontend engineers, backend developers, content strategists, and UX researchers. Candidates should be comfortable navigating early-stage prototypes and articulating their feedback clearly.

What you will do

• Join a remote video session to review the TextShop prototype
