Seeking motivated cofounder(s) interested in legaltech/edtech/govtech. I am a domain expert in Veterans Disability law, 1.7mil in revenue (me and 3 paralegals) in 2020, formed Veteran Disability boutique firm in 2021. Looking to build the "Clio for Veterans Disability Claims." Although this is a single, niche area of administrative law, there are more than enough customers on an individual (veterans with claims, accr…

I can tell you from my own experience that one of the biggest hurdles was obtaining accurate medical records from hospitals and clinics outside of the DoD (for those times when on-base providers were insufficient). Every VSO I tried to work with seemed overly burdened and unfamiliar with how to communicate with systems outside of the state they lived in, and definitely useless in trying to get info from private hospitals overseas.

The second biggest hurdle was (and still is) tying those records, however complete they may be, to a legitimate claim. Lots of barriers there, including personal "nah that's no big deal don't bother complaining about it" type things. On the other hand and simultaneously, it feels to me like I am missing several things I should be claiming but can't find the right terms to use (both for claims and for care, tbh).

Not sure if that's even remotely relevant to your project, but I figure it couldn't hurt to share some potential user pain points.

Why?

because the world is big and beautiful and people are the same all over. yes there is war and conflict in africa, but maybe read more to find out where, why and when. you need to confirm and rebut your sources and come to your own conclusions.

I'm just saying what the author of the book said because it stuck in my memory. This guy has hitchhiked through Asia, Americas and Africa - from south to north. He was just describing his experiences with people in the countries he's visited. I'm not sure what's your point.

Love this thread! I'm a PM at FAANG but I graduated this year with a CS degree and have web dev/ML skills. Would love to collaborate with people looking to build climate tech software (I have a few ideas of my own), but am open to all ideas. Ideally looking for tech co-founders, but would love to chat with anyone interested. My email is in my bio.

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…

Haven't find a match due to the stack or is there another reason?

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.”

I’m looking for collaborators for re-implementing “modern” machine learning and deep learning models/papers. Modern is in quotes as I’d actually like to focus less on the super recent, and more on those around ~5 years old, as the compute required is usually more feasible. As well as the implementation (which will be open sourced, well written and documented), I’d also like https://distill.pub/ style articles to go along with the implementations.

I’d also like to get into algorithmic trading, but this is something I’m at the very early stages of researching into.

If any of that sounds interesting, contact details are in my profile.

I have a few website ideas floating around - a news aggregator built for accessibility and (some day) internationalization. I think the toughest problem for this app is parsing all news sites' HTML correctly and would benefit from a group of people working on it. Another idea is to open source the translations so it can serve content from many different countries. Could use some feedback.

Another site is a group of easy to use tools (whatsmyipaddress clone, document grepper, proxy site). The main differentiator is that the tools can be used via API as well as by visiting the webpage.

I'm open to collaborating. Not trying to do anything bleeding edge here, just trying to build something that people will use.

I kinda would rather just keep calling it Facebook; Meta feels like a bad joke that we shouldn't repeat.

It reeks of “that’s so fetch!”
