My little programming project has been all about the data model, and a ton of fun.

But I don't enjoy UX work at all.

So if I can get it to a "mud fence" level of usability, I'll need people with a shred of aesthetic sensibility, since I'm done around vi with the UI.

Maybe you are using a terrible technology for your UX work, or you are going at it wrong? As with any kind of engineering: less is more. Think about how simple some of the CLI interfaces are to tools like make or grep. And then there are countless examples of ultra simple graphical UX. If you can pay someone to do it, fine. But if you have to do it yourself, make sure it does not make you misable :)
There's a couple of 95% functional apps lying around here, that work fine but the UX is a total mess.

The active target audience (me) is fine with it. Other potentially interested parties don't know that they exist anyway. Next!
