Ask HN: How do I write a detailed outline of my project for a developer?
I am preparing to hire a developer to take over an amateur coding project from me. I would like to make this my first full-time employee. I have laid out in bullet points the languages, libraries, services, frameworks, and implementations that I would like to have the developer develop. How do I present these in the most effective manner? Are there forms or templates I could work from?

There is a whole science behind communicating requirements to developers. Some of the keywords you might be looking for are: roadmap, user story, UML, technical specification, business requirements, and ui/ux prototype/wireframe.
I have tabs open on my browser with materials relevant to your suggestions. I'll work through them. Thanks for the guidance.
This book has templates for some of the things you are asking about:
