I work for a national park in the Democratic Republic on the Congo as a tech lead. Some of the things we are doing: LoRaWAN for tracking and emergency response, ML to identify gorillas by their unique nose prints, and long-range drones for mapping and surveillance, and a management web app. If you’re interested in conservation / sustainable development and associated technologies let me know! Always looking to collab…

This sounds incredibly interesting and would love to know more about it. Where to read more or get in touch with you? (your profile doesn't mention any contacts or links)

The timing of this post is amazing me. Just an hour ago I was doing an internet search for how to host or participate in screen sharing while working on pet hobby projects. My thinking was “coding a side project on your own can get lonesome and stall. Wouldn’t it be neat to hangout with devs while coding, even if not speaking that much. Can share screens, be supportive.”

Sounds like Twitch for devs.

Right. But instead of one presenter with viewers its many to many.

If you are looking to do some collective good, consider a wildlife conservation project.

I created a GUI wrapper around a popular AI model for object detection for wildlife conservation [0]

The idea is that most ecologists don't have the technical expertise to run such models, so making their life easier is an important task. The use of AI also saves them loads of time. The project was born when I got in touch with New Zealand's Department of Conservation for volunteering opportunities.

I haven't had time to continue working on this; help is welcomed!

Hi there.

Seeing as you are in DRC. I've worked on a number of projects there. Maybe you might be interested in checking out an app we made to help NGO/media etc learn about and manage their digital and physical security? Lots of groups on the ground there have used it in situations like kidnap, targeted malware etc.

It's called Umbrella. It's free, opens source, on ios and Android available in many languages. If you are interested, have a look at at https://www.secfirst.org or ping me via the email in my profile! :)

I'm a product manager looking for a talented technical co-founder for a niche SaaS tool venture. I have validation, unique domain expertise and a strong "why now". The plan is to exit within 4 years at a $5-10M valuation taking minimal or no external funding. If this piques your interest, please drop me a message. Email on my profile.

What programming language, field, complexity?

If you are into autonomous sailboats, robotics, rust, or combinations thereof, let me know :)

Nice! Let me know about this project. I'm not a dev, just a sysadmin from old school always wanting to learn more stuff. I was teaching robotics for kids and teachers also.

I want to build an ultimate SaaS boilerplate / starter as a commercial product. The audacious goal is something like “build a Trello clone from git init to a live product in under 10 minutes” Looking for like-minded folks with any of the following skills: - strong React - UI/UX design - TypeScript - AWS - SaaS building - writers for docs, tutorials, articles, evangelization - product / project manager

I would think that actually thinking about and defining everything that a Trello clone to do would take more than 10 minutes... Are you imagining a "software requirements" -> "product" compiler type of deal? Or what do you envision the workflow would look like?
