Re: Ask HN: Who is looking for a co-founder?
#32I'm looking for a co-founder, or really a partner, because my company is already founded. My product is currently in Beta and I should be releasing V1 soon. You can download a copy of my product here: http://www.transactor.com If you are interested, please send mail to: cofounder@transactor.com I'm looking for an engineer who can help start work on V2 of the product. The basic qualifications that I'm looking for are:…
Maybe you and jcrocholl should touch base with each other. Also: what platform are you developing on? Is this a C# application?
Maybe, but I don't qualify for all points, especially number 6 -- I'm a terrible snob and will avoid the Windows platform whenever I can. Also, I don't see the need for Transactor Code Agent if you have good version control (e.g. git).

#33We're a team of 2 applying to YC and willing to bring in a third founder. E-mail in profile.

Yes. Code Agent is written in C#.

Okay, maybe I was wrong. I'm terrible at developer matchmaking :D
As an unrelated point, what's the startup scene look like in Seattle?
I'm looking to start-up and willing to relocate, but my wife hates San Fran, so unless I can find a SV suburb that's more midwestern (read: strip malls and yards) then I have to look elsewhere.

How often do you commit to your git repository?
Once a day? Once an hour? You are still vulnerable to any mistakes you make in between checkins. The laws of the universe state that the one time you forget to commit is the one time you will need access to be a backup. Or, you might revert the wrong change.
Also, even if you checked in every 5 minutes, the big question is why? You shouldn't have to.
Source control should be used for what it was meant for: managing change.
Backups should be simple, automatic, and easy. You shouldn't have to work to make sure you stuff is backed. It should just be handled for you.
That's what Code Agent does.

You mean like Jott? ;-)
Yes, but for transcriptions of hour-long material like podcasts, interviews, speeches, essays, long emails. So it would be more like castingwords.com but faster and cheaper because of speech recognition.
I'm working on speech stuff as well but geared towards telephony. Its a hard task.How far along are you?

I appreciate the attempt. Thanks.
Seattle has a very healthy startup scene. If you want to you should come into Seattle and checkout Startpad (startpad.org). That's where I have my office at. They lease office space specifically to software startups. There's a good mixture of early stage and later stage companies there. The "biggest" company there is Rescue Time (I think they were funded by YC).
In any case it's in Pioneer Square, which is basically startup central. I'd be happy to show you around (and of course try to convince you to come work with me).

#39I live in Southern New Hampshire (Nashua, NH), on the border with MA.
Anyone in the area looking for a hand, or at the very least someone to talk to about their project?

I would be interested to meet you for coffee and a Startpad tour.
