This is a great thread! I'm wondering if creating an ideas-people matchmaking site for it makes sense- it could be a collection of ideas along with their stage of development (idea only, prototype ready, production ready, etc) and a similar collection of skills/people who are willing to/interested in projects. All opensource/free of course.

I'll be up for putting this together if someone wants in on this. I'm a generalist with mastery/expertise in [python, go, nosql dbs, aiml, bigdata] have product and business experience as well.

I'd love to work with people who want to find ways to build low cost 802.11ax mesh implementations. Think high powered raspberry pis (or their equivalents) being customized to compete with the crazy high costs of Orbi implementations. And I absolutely have zero interest in the monetary value here. RPi + wifi shields + fun is what counts. If you're interested, I'd love to team up! And I bring all kinds of nerdy engine…

I'm interested in the hardware side of this but also the software side - building a resilient, E2E messaging system not reliant on cell networks or centralized national inter/intranets to work. Is the latter too off-base for it to be worthwhile for me to reach out?

I am surprised that there have been no responses to your question as this would be like the holly grail for people interested in privacy oriented and robust peer to peer messaging. I wouldn't be able to add much know how to the technical aspects unfortunately.

I'm a front-end developer / artist / father. I'm trying to make a software application for families common in my situation. I have an 8 year old daughter who is very autistic and there is a huge lack in tools I feel that a family and kid can communicate with. To that end - I am trying to make a communication board tool. In my mind think of Trello board but there's not much in the way of words only symbols. Right now…

Definitely interested in collaborating. My skillsets range from web (NextJS, React), React Native, native iOS, native Android, embedded systems (firmware and hardware).

I have a 12 year old autistic son. He attends ABA therapy. I am also looking to create tools and apps that can help him communicate better. Also, he's very musical, so I am looking at better ways to help him learn piano (he loves Simply Piano but I want something that let's me define a custom lesson plan based on MIDI files of songs he loves).

I'm the designer of Par2, employee #7 of a successful startup (Broadway Technology LLC), a former Wall Street quant, and winner of two research grants.

I'm looking at starting a company/public-benefit-corporation/non-profit to support formal math. The Lean prover (similar to Coq) is gaining traction, but academics and large corporations are not always good at innovation. There are multiple potential products to consider creating. Near-term plans are to pick one and apply to "America's Seed Fund" (SBIR) for initial funding. Will also consider angel funding and, obviously, applying to Y Combinator.

I'm looking for someone else who wants to join me and can fund themselves for 6 to 9 months, until initial funding arrives. Ideally, someone experienced in formal math and with startups. But I'm open to anyone who is passionately interested in math and has significant skills to bring to the table. Skills include: running an early startup, running scalable online systems, growing an online community, grant writing, and ... a lot more than I can list, but those are the big ones. I'm based in Austin but am willing to move to work together.

P.S. Just finished the draft specification for Par3. https://parchive.github.io/

Earlier quoted context omitted.

One thing I've been looking for is a simple to-do list app that allows sharing/syncing cross platform. There are some nice and simple to do list apps (eg. Notally on Android) that have no syncing. Then there are some platform specific solutions (eg. the Apple's Notes app) that work well on platform. I've been looking for something just to share a shopping list with my SO, and all I could find were elaborate SaaS prod…

Sounds like something todoist should well be able to handle: https://todoist.com/ They have been around for years but they really focus on being just 1 thing, a good to-do list manager. Sharing lists/tasks amongst people is as far down the collaboration rabbit hole as they went. If your use case is really just groceries there is even an app just for sharing shopping lists with others (some friends use it and like it,…

Thanks for the pointers, but I'm not sure those are what I'm looking for.

Todoist sounds more like a "Get Things Done" style task tracker (like OmniFocus). Due dates and assignments and priorities are way beyond what I want a todo list to do.

As for Bring, yeah that looks like it's way overengineered.

Can I invest?

Typography of code : Design meets the IDE. How can the visual presentation of code be made more functional and aesthetic. Syntax highlighting doesn't have to be the zenith of how code is displayed. (Once upon a time indentation was a radical new idea!) I'd love to ideate and build prototypes with like minded coder-designers. Blog post I wrote about the steps in developer experience up till now: https://wanderingstan.…

Interested in learning more/working on this. Any reading you recommend beyond the blog post you linked?

I'm in a volunteer role as CIO for a nonprofit focused on human trafficking, and we're building a new investigations and case-management platform using Svelte/TypeScript/SvelteStrap, Rust/Rocket, and Postgres (and likely Neo4j at some point) because the options out there are either poor or very expensive. Once we have something working and solid, we're going to open-source it and provide it to other groups in similar…

I am interested to learn and also contribute. Please let me know. I am at ghirniguru at gmail.com
