I'm building iOS Apps as a solo builder. Sometimes it's a little lonely. If you are interested in sharing experiences, advice, or just chat about ideas/programming/tech or collaborate, say hello at my contact is in my profile.

I've been building iOS apps as a solo builder for nine years and definitely agree that it gets lonely, both in the development of it and then waiting for users to stumble across it.

Maybe its time to focus on marketing and product fit ;-)

I’m beyond frustrated with modern web development. It feels hyper-inefficient when it could be streamlined. We currently use tools built by the biggest companies on earth (whose main preoccupation is solving scalability problems) to build the most basic applications. We’ve got infinitely nested component with jumbles of state being passed around, new build tools and framework versions being released every week, and w…

happy to join forces on a side project and make friends.

i'm a fast moving generalist, working on distributed databases and k8s. i am excited about many things, including mobile dev, compilers, generative art, building effective teams, etc.

i can invest anywhere from 2 to 10 hours a week into it, feel free to reach out to me at genmaicha123 at protonmail dot com even if you just want to chat and soundboard ideas.

Senior Engineer, semi retired.

Working in my spare time on various side projects, but i would really enjoy some input of which project to focus on, collaborate on and potentially incorporate.

1. Digital Assistant for on premise installation, already built that as lead architect for a customer of mine but want to take the concept fruther ( think star trek TNG computer )

2. Continous integration platform for ML Models, taking data collection, labelling and training as well as optimization and automate them as much as possible.

This is a very long shot, but I am looking for a marketing or design focused co-founder who has experience building social platforms or social shopping apps to help launch a new "Polyvore for makeup" with a few twists based on an existing site with a growing user-base and early revenue + monetization strategy. My email is in my profile! :)

I'm interested in partnering in some way, I'd want to run an ETL process on your data and export the customers and transaction data out of your system and into my own.

You may learn more, search my sibling post on this thread for "Make Post Sell".

My name is Russell.

I am putting together a podcast about the management side of engineering teams. I want to talk to heads of engineering, CEOs or VPEs, about how they have organised their team and how work is done.

What I have in my mind right now is for it to be very practical so going through the exact engineering process and probably things like hiring, etc.

The goal is to provide inspiration for teams who are changing in terms of size or in other ways to find things they can try out, but also be entertaining.

What I am looking for is guests, but also people who have already setup a podcast to give me some pointers on the practical side of things like getting in all the podcasting apps, smooth production, etc.

I want to put together a DIY water cistern out of a 55 gallon barrel by connecting an inlet straight to the tap water through a fine filter. According to the CDC it's fine to store water that way for like 3 months at least, so we can use a siphon to drain the barrel periodically to refill it with fresh water after sanitizing the barrel.

What I'd be looking for in a collaborator is people who are able to spread the word about why this is a good idea or perhaps even advance the idea by selling kits at cost to help get them out in the world for cheaper (assuming bulk discounts). I'd also be looking for a better biologist than I (or whatever kind of scientist I'd need for this part) to help me make sure that the filtration is adequate to ensure safety.

I want to learn more about the required filtering. I have a barrel and I've bought a lot of fancy cartridge filters from McMaster in the past (I do chemical engineering and am weaker on biology), so I feel like there must be a way for me to do this.

The reason I worry about this is because in a power outage the city water supply can go dead. Or an earthquake if you live in a region prone to them. Or a flood could contaminate the water supply. I think that in such a scenario you should have 10 gallons of water per person tucked away so that you can keep yourself healthy and also help your neighbors.

This is a simple project I can try to document and do in a way that is definitely safe (the last thing I want to do is give unsafe advice). It is a project that would likely cost someone a hundred dollars or a bit more, but increasing household resiliency seems increasingly important.

I remember growing up that we always had emergency supplies because it's important in a serious emergency to not depend on emergency responders (with limited time and lots of problems to handle) for basic stuff that you should be able to handle yourself with fairly simple preparation.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> 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.

It's kind of weird to use Alphabet in this context because people at Google seem to mostly still refer to it as Google, and the comp and hiring standards vary widely between the "other bets".
