Ask HN: Who wants to collaborate?

#1
We have the monthly "Who is hiring?" and "Freelancer? Seeking freelancer?" threads. But what about people who don't want to work for money and are not looking for people who want to work for money but still want to work together on cool projects?

For free to make the world better or to start a startup.

If you do, please post your project or your skills!

Hey, I want to put together an open source project that gives an overview of how to set up a minimal viable web application from scratch via all the different frameworks.

The idea is to format the tutorial for each framework as a shell script. So there is no ambiguity of how to reproduce the results. And it is even possible to just copy&paste the steps into a docker container and see the framework in action.

Here is a demo of how this could look like for Django:

It would be cool to have one column for each framework and then align them visually by feature. So if you want to compare how do you use a template, you can look at the "Let's use templates" row and have a quick overview of how it is done in Django, Laravel, Flask, Symfony, NextJS...

Each framework section could link to the developer(s) who wrote it.

If you want to contribute to the section for your favorite framework, send me a message!

I don't have a side project to recruit for right now, but I've wanted this very thread in the past. My current projects all revolve around reducing my dependency on commercial SaaS products. A hypothetical project I'd be interested in contributing to would be an ActivityPub Strava/Ride with GPS clone.

I'm building iOS Apps as a solo builder. Sometimes it's a little lonely. If you are interested in sharing experiences, advice, or just chat about ideas/programming/tech or collaborate, say hello at my contact is in my profile.

I am a UX/UI designer who always struggled to pair with the right developer, and/or right business oriented extrovert person, to build things. If you struggled from the other side, let's talk, contact in bio.

My projects / areas of interest:

1) high-concurrency booking system (10,000 university students trying to enrol in classes for next semester)

2) real-time money streaming

I am trading crypto, options and stocks based on news (e.g. Twitter, YouTube, Reddit) in manual and algorithmic fashion (it feels a lot like Factorio: manual first then automate it).

I don’t believe in technical analysis, and I think the efficient market hypothesis is mostly true and love Fama’s work (and sometimes I am first!).

The biggest reason I do this is because it feels like a PhD that can actually pay well.

Are you similar? Let’s meet!

I want to build an ultimate SaaS boilerplate / starter as a commercial product.

The audacious goal is something like “build a Trello clone from git init to a live product in under 10 minutes”

Looking for like-minded folks with any of the following skills:

- strong React

- UI/UX design

- TypeScript

- AWS

- SaaS building

- writers for docs, tutorials, articles, evangelization

- product / project manager
