Yes. Web developer here looking for someone with a B2B idea they are confident they can sell to a niche market. Prefer no social media related or physical products. Can PM me on reddit if you want to get in touch: https://reddit.com/u/beeboopp

> Can PM me on reddit if > you want to get in touch: Unless, of course, I'm not registered on Reddit, and have no interest in being so. Edit: OK, I really don't know why I'm being down-voted, and I guess I don't care. Let me just add, if ever you're interested in connecting with people and getting work, making it easy to contact you is probably a good idea. Only giving someone the option of being or getting registere…

Do be honest, for someone who is interesting in pursuing an idea with a given individual, creating a reddit account shouldn't represent a barrier. If it does, no problem, it wouldn't have been a good match anyway.

Not a co-founder, but certainly a web front-end programmer required: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11634804 Initially a short term paid project, but this has the potential to become a long-term project. It's never going to be a unicorn, though, so if unicorns are all you're interesting in, this isn't for you, except potentially to mark time and add to your portfolio. But if you're interested in a small, paid p…

Hey, I'd love to hear more. What email can I reach you at?

Looking for a software engineering cofounder.

I'm working on a project automating tasks around physical product development, and eventually leading into a SaaS/platform with some intelligence to take advantage of new directions in digital manufacturing. I have a feature roadmap and connections to some early users for sales/testing, but my background is not software engineering (MechE, manufacturing, and some EE/embedded systems). Currently I'm evaluating freelancers to get an MVP built since I have a small amount of money to work with.

Similar to these? https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ip+remote+power+switch

Kind of, but a bit more elegant and much more general in nature. The idea is to put this device between the electricity outlet and whatever device. I could then go to a website and toggle the electricity switch.

These things exist, and while that is of itself no reason for you not to do it out of interest, I just wondered if you were aware. We've used versions of these for some time.

Except the person here is a technical person looking for a potentially non-technical person. You might over-estimate the willingness of non-technical people to go to yet another site to create yet another account.

Airborn OS ( https://www.airbornos.com/ ) - A secure alternative to Google Docs. Has been in development for 1.5 years. Looking for a cofounder to help with marketing. Email here: https://github.com/twiss

OS makes it sound like it's a whole operating system, instead of an office suite.

edit: after playing with the demo it does have more of an OS feeling and no google docs replacement feeling

Creating a reddit account takes less than 10 seconds, I just tested it.
