I'm pretty close to having a private beta and accompanying newsletter ready to release. This entire process of learning to code and building an app has been with the ultimate intention of finding a real developer partner to help me build (I've just been learning what's necessary to build the mvp)
Should I include a section in my newsletter/private beta that I'm looking for help? Or should I be playing it cool and pretending like it's already a developer-backed product ready to grow?

Thanks! I like that. And I do hope to be in the position to hire soon.
I'll be looking for a partner before I can hire somebody, I think. But seeking partnership seems like a more delicate and subtle thing, like dating, which is why I'm thinking I should avoid saying on my newsletter "I'm looking for a partner!" But still want to make it apparent that I'm open to it.
