Ask HN: Who's Looking for a Co-Founder?

I am. I’m building an automated design tool that converts design tool files into auto generated code or a templating language that can be used to render views / flows natively on web / native mobile. I’m looking for someone who can help with web front end and backend, I work horizontally across the stack on iOS / Android building SDKs and native mobile experiences. I have 6 years of experience in the industry, have been part of a successful acquisition and now mostly highly interested in building this design company idea.

Why am I building this? Companies waste too much resources on building design then handing off later — essentially 2X the work. Giving designers / product people this sort of technology would empower them to validate their ideas quickly — essential to finding product market fit quickly.

Where I’m currently at: - I have an exceptionally fast text editor - I can convert 3 of the major mobile design tool files into a templating language than can be used to render native views on the fly - Mac app centered around this technology - Lots of hard problems solved around the current idea

What I’m looking for: - someone who is as excited about this idea as I am - someone experienced in backend and web front end - Next steps are finalizing UX / porting a web app for people to use (sort of like Figma) - integrate in analytics services - versioning system for designers

Reply to this post if anyone is interested I’ll post an email to connect to if anyone cares.

I am building a very simple status page app, that actually works. Think like zoom of status page. A very simple easily integrated via apis. Offering On-prem/Saas version of the software which integrates with all most of the services.

I had to start working on it, cuz I wasnt happy with any of the solutions out there (statuspage / statusio / hund ... etc)

I have worked in sysadmin/devops roles in the past and have fairly extensive knowledge on how SRE/OPs culture work. I have built SRE teams in the previous jobs.

you being in bay area would be helpful, but not an absolute requirement.

Hey, would love to chat on this. Can you share your email?

I've been building this crowdmapping tool for a long time now, and would love any help I can get.

TypeScript and React skills would be great.

But what I really need is some sales and marketing hustle. I have been invited to be the tech provider on some research funding proposals, but aside from that don't have much time to hunt down more customers, or to lay SEO ground work. My extra time and energy goes to coding.

It's niche. No unicorn here. Although I'm still confident there is a market out there because it's supporting much more expensive and cumbersome competitors!

If you are even slightly interested shoot me an email at info@canvis.app
