Free React Developer Upwork Proposal Template

A free template for inheriting an existing React or Next.js app: name the library you will keep, name the first PR, and ask one routing or state question.

Use this when the client already has a React codebase. Do not use it to pitch a greenfield rewrite unless they asked for one.

Template

Hi [Name],

I would keep [library or pattern they named] and [specific change: URL state, new screen, performance pass] without [rewrite they did not ask for].

I did [adjacent project] where [constraint similar to theirs]. First PR I would open: [one bounded change].

I would not rip out [their data library] unless we hit a real limitation; [one sentence why].

[Answer their listed question.]

Questions:

  • [App Router vs Pages / existing design system / test setup]
  • [What must not break for current users]

Filling notes

  • If they named TanStack, Redux, or Zustand, say it. Guessing the wrong library is obvious in a repo review.
  • “Beautiful UI” is not a first PR. “Serialize filters to searchParams” is.
  • Worked example: [React dashboard proposal](/examples/react-development).
