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.
Creating a reddit account takes less than 10 seconds, I just tested it.
It's not the creating of the account. It's then having the account. Some people - me included - have account fatigue, and my heart sinks every time I need to create Yet. Another. Bloody. Account.
Seriously.
Having an account is like owning stuff. Buying it is trivial, then you have to store it, and you end up asking yourself - will I ever use this again? There is an on-going mental costs to having things, and accounts on services come into this category.
Not everyone will agree with me. Fine. But please take a moment to try to appreciate an alternate point of view.

#43Not looking for a co-founder for a business idea, but a partner for a hobby project this summer. Someone who knows hardware. I can do the software/firmware. I want to build a simple internet enabled on/off toggle. Preferably looking for someone in Southern California.
Wow, this is actually something I've also been interested in making. I do hardware and I'm located in the San Diego area. When were you thinking of starting?

#44Yes - I am a technical founder, I have two products: One is a mass media monitoring startup, and the other is a deep learning startup that trades forex (ramen profitable) Both products are finished, and in production, but I have zero selling skills. I'm in London. Looking for someone to help me develop the products further.
Just dropped you an email :)

#45Airborn 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
Yeah, Airborn OS is supposed to be a whole operating system, but it has the classic problem of having not enough apps. But, apps written for Firefox OS can run on it, which in turn are not much more than normal web apps.

Use it once to contact the guy and forget about it.
You don't have to become a reddit power user...

#49Looking for a technical Co-Founder
The product is a simple SaaS solution, which is already (slightly profitable) up and running with really just a few paying customers. I have developed the MVP with a freelancer and lost him on the way, as he changed his focus and went back to a fulltime job.
The service itself is a multi-million $ business in US, with currently only two competitors in Europe. One competitor is massively pumped with VC, but is technically not able to deliver what clients are looking for. The other competitor is only operating in two countries. So there is more than enough space for a third player on that market. ;)
Needed skills:
- Javascript/jQuery/AngularJS & Node.js
- Great communication skills both written and verbal
- experience with tracking / web analytics would be a plus
If you are interested, but need some income from the first day, we can also talk about hourly / project-based payment. Just ping me, if you are interested.

#50There needs to be some sort of Tinder for co-founders. There's so many people interested and so many terrible opportunities to scare people off.
