Alright, how about an honest-to-goodness new search engine? I've been working on this piecemeal for a while. I want a completely new alternative in the search space. I think a lot of other people do too. I want to focus on highly personalized results from personal data sets: ingest people's bookmarks, crawl them, crawl their second-order links, and so on. I want discussions from HN, Reddit, and other publicly-accessi…

Re: Ask HN: Who's looking for a co-founder?
#242I created https://fullprice.no (as in, "wanna pay full price? No!"), my goal from Day 1 was to make it the easiest way to find some restaurant deals nearby, right now, with as little distraction as possible.
Like many sites, there's a chicken/egg problem... getting people to visit without fresh deals, and getting restaurants to add deals without a huge audience. I did all the deal inputs by hand for a while, one-by-one, but it got to be too much. As far as audience, I got very frustrated after adding a whole lot of specific, Google-recommended structured data and then seeing no results.
I'd love to work alongside an enthusiastic marketing, social media, "let's rally" type of person who can develop an audience and generate excitement -- that's just not me.
just some technical notes: I've already enhanced the base concept with direct links to Doordash, Grubhub, etc, and maps and Yelp. Also already built the infrastructure for restaurants to manage their own listings and to be honest, that is some of the coolest tech.
any and all comments are appreciated... fp@ or info@ the domain above
best of luck to everyone reading or posting in this thread!

#243Am Raaghavv, and am looking for a technical co-founder for my company Starcast.
Am based b/w Mumbai & Bangalore, India, and am building a platform/community/market-network ecosystem ala angelist/airbnb for the media & entertainment industry which is focused, to begin with, on acting talent finding opportunities & resources.
Following the do-things-that-don't-scale approach, I dropped my career as an actor and started an actor management agency where I personally represent and manage other acting talent (pitching, negotiations, coordination), thanks to which I now have even more credibility and networks across all verticals in the industry (casting, production, direction, PR), as well as profitability based on our commission model.
Am looking for a technical rockstar who can benefit from my domain expertise and networks to help build a management software for actors as a starting point, as most actors in India are unrepresented until they become famous. This would track project information, dates, monies, contacts, and so on, and gradually we can add service providers and other members of the industry to create accounts and build workflows, micro tools and tech enabled services to create a sticky ecosystem which makes day-to-day functioning of the industry, which is currently run a bit ad-hoc, more streamlined, organised and systemised.
With the help of a technical advisor friend and an intern, I have managed to get built an influencer search engine as that’s what developed traction over covid, however, now that the industry is getting back to its feet, we’re expanding to allow for submissions of talent enquiries across other talent types as well (actors & models).
Please write to me at raaghavvchanana@starcast.com, and we can schedule a time to zoom.

#244Always, a little bit? I've founded one startup and sold it, and I've been part of 2 others that got sold. I'm currently enjoying being a PM at Slack, but at some point that'll get old and I'll want to do another startup. B2B SaaS is my jam. I'm technical enough to build as necessary, but I'd prefer to focus on the go-to-market side. I'm always up for talking to folks who are thinking about it. I've got a history of w…

Otherwise, have you really thought how'd you do distributed crawler & storage/cpu/ram/bandwidth for it ?
What will you be using for search-engine ?

#250I am working on an inventory management system as a service.
Currently my friend is also already running an online shop, which is integrated with it and I am planning to provide this as a service to everyone, kind of like shopify.
The guy with whom I started, who was supposed to deal with everything non-technical is too caught up with his job, so I am looking for someone who could replace him. It's probably mostly sales/marketing.
