I coded up a proof of concept. It's been neglected for a few weeks, but having a partner would definitely be the kick I need to continue working on it.
This is definitely side-project territory. I am not looking at spending more than 10hrs a week on this until and unless it is successfully monetized.
My first venture gingrapp.com was recently acquired (good kind) and am looking for a new adventure. curbd.app is a MVP product I’ve been messing around with. Not sure if it’s got legs, though. Also have this concept app that’s the anti-Amazon app. It’s an app that lists all local stores inventory/pricing that consumers can use to one stop shop brick and mortar. Haven’t built that MVP yet. If you can’t tell, my passio…
the anti-amazon thing has legs, but the angle of attack to get beachhead might be difficult. Open problems: 1) fake review/counterfeit problem 2) support mom and pop Google Shopping is trying to go after the "amazon prime for the rest of the internet", which seems like a good idea. On 2), One thing to do would be to do what doordash did, just go to 50 mom and pop retail stores in one region and talk to them. see what…
Re: talking to users first - 100%! I am fairly active in my community and talk with local business owners all the time. This is where I got the idea in the first place ;). Agreed though that doing this formally and generating some user stories before any development could help focus MVP.
Negative review is definitely a big problem and I'm not an expert on that topic, at all ;). If such an app were to have a review system it would be imperative to ensure the trust-worthiness of reviews shown to users.
Though, I'm not sure you would need reviews at first, at all. I generally trust most of what I buy from a given shop X... I trust their purchasing and supply chain departments to have done the research for me. I never think twice about buying X electronic from Target, for example, wondering if that night light for my son's room is going to combust. One of the benefits of brick and mortar, I suppose.
Recent Project https://pipecontent.com Wanted to evolve this idea into a go-to platform for knowledge workers. (A second brain for the content) Located in India, currently looking for a partner. Also, wanted to share all my research on various markets, opportunities, tools. That can help us uncover better opportunities together. Let's connect on Twitter! @notoriousarun

Hola, I just launched https://noisycamp.com , an AirBnb for Musicians. I'm trying to make it easier for music studio owners and musicians to reserve, pay and manage their practice spaces. I just released the first version of the web app, and I'm starting to reach studio owners to create a base inventory of studios. I'm looking for someone with strong sales and product skills, able to help me developing the business s…

I'm about 90% code complete with the MVP, would be fun to find someone else who is interested in this kind of stuff (preferably US based) and might want to help work on expanding the functionality or coming up with other interesting things to do with it.
Platform is React, Node, PGSQL.

We've been growing an open source & academic community fairly well, but I want to hire more full-time engineers, and money's becoming a limiting factor. Looking for a partner on the business and PM side, so I can focus on the technical. The huge disclaimer is that I'm unwilling to compromise on the project being open source, so I have no idea how to squeeze a business model in here. I've also done a terrible job so far of actually getting public transit / cycling advocacy groups on board, so the need for a PM is pretty severe to make sure we're building the right thing.
