Nice. We do this on sideprojectors too.

https://www.sideprojectors.com

Our pitch is “find a co-founder / collaborator” for your project. We have had a number of matches but as people would know finding a right person to work with is always a challenge even if a platform exists to connect (still necessary!) good luck!

My challenge has to be to find developers who want to work in "grey space" where things are legal but might not be ethical with good money making potential.

I don’t think it’s so much the space but it’s a tough proposition to go into business with possibly shady characters who are willing to do unethical things.

For the right $$$, I’d be willing to build anything but I gotta make sure I get paid.

I always wonder how these platforms would sustain long term?

I mean, if this service would match existing companies with talents they seek, the obvious case is that the company might pay the platform for the match.

So this service would instead have to make the users pay for something like premium?

Or maybe handle the infrastructure for the matched talents for a fee?

We are college students who got tired of having limited options for side project partners. So, we built a platform where you can discover and recruit team members to build software with. redsand.io is a community of software developers who are open to collaboration. You can filter users by specific skills and find your ideal teammate.

This is a useful idea. I’m a junior studying CS and I can’t seem to find anyone in my cs department to collaborate on projects with.
