I am interested in collaborating on a project to make building local first software a simple reality for developers along the “seven ideals” that Martin Kleppmann lays out (see https://martin.kleppmann.com/papers/local-first.pdf ). There has been a number of attempts in this space, but none with a simple developer experience, and I’d like to experiment around fixing that. If anyone is already is already working in th…

Sending you an email. I am not working in this space per se but I am following it very closely, and I am super interested in seeing better dev tooling around the CRDT/Local first ecosystem.

Great - looking forward to talking

I'm full-time exploring VR, video, and some hard tech problems, primarily using rust.

A few things I'm poking around with:

- VR molecule visualization in bevy (a la pymol)

- real-time video production also in bevy

- VR instruments

Based in SF, always down to chat with people with similar interests!

I'm trying to reclaim the word Santa from the toxic concept Santa has become (judging kids as naughty/nice is a perspective that's subjective and denies the very real need for acceptance, name calling is also a recognized form of abuse). I'm hoping to build a simple first version of www.santaisdeadlonglivesanta.net with a bit of text and a few pictures. It's meant to be the launch of the SANTANET, the network of peop…

I'm studying mathematics. Now on chapter 11 in Spivak's Calculus. Interested in learning stats, differential geometry, classical mechanics, relativity, and quantum after. Would be interested in discussing math ideas, proofs, problems. Happy to learn/teach if you are close but above/below where I am at right now.

I am interested in discussing maths. You might want to add an email in your profile for contact. You can find mine there !

A couple of years ago I started to build a tool for my own personal use. It ended up being a metaverse full of sticky notes. I'm currently seeing if there's a market for it outside of just myself - https://www.temin.net/ Give me a shout if you're interested in turning it into something - email is in my profile.

I've thought of something like this, glad to see its been created. Love it. This is how I 'picture' things in my head so it makes it easy for me to organize. Now only if there was a file explorer like this I'd love to use one.

Thanks, glad you like it!

For organising information Temin has been an entirely positive experience for me. For the first time what's in my head matches what's on a screen.

Early on I expected that mental model to fall over as the amount information in a metaverse grew, but I have ~12,000 sticky notes/pieces of paper in my 'main' metaverse and haven't personally felt the need to add any search functionality yet. I'm honestly not sure if I know where everything is, or just how to get back to it. Speaking to a neuroscientist or similar would be great - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_memory#Current_theories

I'd also be keen to speak to anyone who has thoughts on Temin as a graph, as more recently I've been finding sticky notes mean multiple things and belong in multiple locations. https://temin.co.uk/#links does a rather poor job of explaining my current solution.

I'm quitting my full-time job this month (already gave my notice) to start a startup with my brother. We're trying to make cheap-but-performant prosthetic hands using 3D printers and Arduino, focusing on the north-west of Syria. To shed some light, it's estimated that around *50 THOUSAND* people suffer from minor or major imputations due to the ongoing war, and most of them need some form of prosthetics. Some estimat…

Sounds like a great cause. I have experience in building hardware, and can put you in touch with some folks who might be great contacts for your endeavor. Sending an email :)

I am a former principal software engineer at a MAMAA company turned independent educational researcher. My primary interest is in deliberate practice and how to use spaced repetition (i.e., Anki) to develop expertise. I have three primary areas that I am working on and would love to find serious collaborators: 1) I am building high-quality content for math, English language arts, chess, etc. (see [0] for a good expla…

> MAMAA took me a second, but I guess it's Microsoft Apple Meta Amazon Alphabet now

yep, exactly. When Facebook changed their name to Meta, people were looking for a good acronym for the biggest tech companies.

Hey, I want to put together an open source project that gives an overview of how to set up a minimal viable web application from scratch via all the different frameworks. The idea is to format the tutorial for each framework as a shell script. So there is no ambiguity of how to reproduce the results. And it is even possible to just copy&paste the steps into a docker container and see the framework in action. Here is…

Neat idea. Interested in this as a user - will reach out :)

I'm running a FOSS project building a Todo and collaboration (web) app. It's kind of a mix between Todoist and more pm heavy tools like Jira or Asana. It has the usual stuff like lists and tasks and then a few nice things beyond that like Kanban, Gantt and sharing capabilities. Written in Go and Vue js. We're always looking for people to contribute in reporting issues, fixing bugs, adding features etc.

Check it out here: https://vikunja.io

There's a bit commercial potential for it, given the enormous amount of paid project management tools out there, but I'm not really doing a lot in that direction right now. You can purchase a SaaS subscription but very few people do. Most of the users are people who self host.

I'm working on a platform for writing and publishing web-based/html books (not epub or pdf) over at pagespace.app (invite-only for now). Aiming for a sort of Substack for longer writing with one-time purchase and subscription options.

Always looking for collaborators if anyone is interested in the space. The stack is Elixir + Vue 3 + ProseMirror/TipTap + Stripe on Kubernetes for the moment. Authors welcome as well.

I've tried the Startup School co-founder matching, but no luck on there yet! https://www.startupschool.org/cofounder-matching
