NameinProgress | Bay Area| Instant group chat for nearby loosely affiliated people (who don’t necessarily know each other). Unlocks value and solves problems of current options. Maintains some privacy, keeps out randos (no, isn’t one of those been done million times, who is around you app just based on GPS). The magic happens in the backend, looking for someone who will focus on development of all server-side logic,…

Is this mobile and browser based? What is a use case for someone?

Have you ever been to a meetup or small conference, looking to talk to people with a certain interest but out of 40 people, you only get time to speak to 4? Thereby missing out on possible valuable conversations.

The app solves this problem*

Instantly attendees get access to a group chat. No one has to set it up, no one has to add others. Only people who are/did attending get access, no random unaffiliated people.

It "just works" solution.

Current solutions are sub optimal and they involves virtual schlep and so people don't use them.

*this is one use case, but there are broader uses cases where you would use it every single day.

Think: SwiftUI meets React, runs anywhere and provides a beautiful app kit for building desktop apps (designed to go mobile soon). Then: add an App Store built in, all together as a sort of operating system layer that lets you build many types of apps incredibly easily. Finally: apps in a shared workspace all can communicate with each other using typed APIs. Read gmail messages, write to a Postgres database. All conf…

Ooh I like this idea. Like retool meets IFTTT.

These threads always interest me. Who is really willing to bring on an absolute stranger to their early-stage startup and heap a bunch of responsibility (and equity) on them? It seems a random individual from the internet would be very likely worse than no partner at all, considering you're pretty well locked together and you have no idea how that person handles conflict or pressure or really anything. And why would…

>.. if the existing founder can't recruit a cofounder from their network? For immigrants like me, who didn't grow up in the US, the "existing network" is largely absent / non-existent. So we always have difficulty trying to find co-founders as the people you can trust the most in your network are your "butt buddies" (in hindi we call them Chaddi-dost) and they are not here. And most engineers, esp. technical engineer…

wait what. "chaddi dost" is literally, "underwear buddies," not "butt buddies." "chaddi" in some cases also generally means just shorts, not necessarily what's closest to your skin. The connotation is you and your friend knew each other from when you ran around in diapers.

I’m looking for CEO/CMO. I have built numerous stock and option trading algorithms that are successful. I have struggled to market all this information. I’m a register investment advisor / SEC online advisor. I have an existing website and lots of data to back my claims. Primarily I’m a great chief algorithm builder/coder, but a poor marketer.

Email? Let's talk.

5 years ago I founded https://hackclub.com after dropping out of high school. We're now one of the fastest growing after-school programs in the US with over 3,000 students attending Hack Clubs each week.

I'm based in NYC. Seeking someone super passionate about audio engineering. I'm working on an ambitious product that if done right has the potential to be a staple on every television and broadcasting device in the world.

I myself am an engineer, have held multiple CTO roles before. Have exited a startup to a fortune 500 company and failed a startup before. I know a ton of super talented engineers, but want to find someone really passionate about audio engineering.

Email is in profile, would love to chat with anyone that finds this interesting.
