#142Hey I’m Yasser, and I have been working on a meditation/audio book platform where users have the ability to select different narrators, sounds and languages for any meditation they select. It’s a community driven project meaning that anyone can contribute their own narrations or translations as long as the original poster allows it.
The other aspect is live journaling, which means when a user is asked something they can reply verbally and it automatically records the response.
I’m currently at a stage where the whole web app is pretty much complete, will be adding in subscriptions, mobile apps, programs and a teachers portal in the upcoming months.
Currently looking for someone to help with marketing and sales. Given it’s entirely bootstrapped hiring someone is not yet an option. Would love any form of advise and discussions on next steps and possible collaboration.
The app is live at https://samarambi.com, but still in beta so expect some odd behaviour now and then.
PS. Just launched (soft launch) on New Years so content is pretty much minimal!

The fastest way to know if someone is the right cofounder is to
1. Work with them in a high pressure / time boxed environment
2. Live with them
This is the perfect environment to do both.

#144I am looking for someone interested on building a quantitative finance API based on QuantLib. See where it is now at https://quantra.io.
I have been working with it for a couple of years discontinuously. This is for a small niche but some people showed interest on it during this time.
Looking for someone interested to help on the development and to define it. Although is not close to a commercial product I see it being used as a SaaS service or as a pricing engine to integrate with banking systems.
Re: Ask HN: Who's looking for a co-founder?
#145These are great threads to have, but I do worry some underestimate the amount of interviewing they should do for a co-founder they've just met from here. As a rule of thumb if you can't imagine yourself being close friends with this person, it's probably not a good idea to have them as a co-founder. It's a much more important, long-term, and intimate relationship than a simple partnership or internship is. I'd sugges…
I have to agree. Starting a venture with a less-than-compatible partner made me realize I would need to do as much emotional labor to stay in the game as I would with a romantic life partner. To be honest, that really put me off from starting a company with anyone I don't already know.
My wife called my first business partner my "work husband". We remain close to this day. I think we got extremely lucky because we were a great fit for each other as co-founders, but we did take almost 6 months of getting to know each other before formalizing our arrangement (equity).

#146Hi there, I'm Alex.
I'm a freelance engineer who works on devtools.
I am interested in data infrastructure, and just released a tool for analysing docker image disk usage https://github.com/treebeardtech/whaler.
My long-term goal is to create SaaS products which complement my open source contributions. Very happy to chat with others with similar goals.

#147Hi ya'll. Health nut here. Specifically within the realm of digital therapeutics (think using wearables to produce better clinical outcomes). I've built a couple platforms for a "device agnostic health monitoring tool" and am currently working with the Quantified Self community - looking for help pivoting into a world that has revenue model potential.
I'm an engineer-minded sales person looking for a SME within the healthcare industry. Are you familiar with health insurance, medicine, clinical trials, reimbursements, CPT codes, ICD codes, etc? Let's talk !

#148I'm the founder of Bookmark OS, an all-in-one organizational tool - https://bookmarkos.com
Planning on a B2B version with cloud document organization (connect google docs, Slack, Box, Dropbox, etc) so you can search everything in one place.
Anyone interested with b2b SAAS experience contact me on Twitter https://twitter.com/DRLynam
Re: Ask HN: Who's looking for a co-founder?
#149I've been working on a b2b SaaS side project in the computerized maintenance management space for the past ~4 years ( https://salientforms.com ). Revenue is great for a side project, however I'd like to build the feature set out to appeal to more clients, and generally do business development. My background is compsci/software/hardware engineering, as well as the practical and physical side of how this sort of produc…

#150I'm the technical founder of Kanopi and I'm looking for a co-founder.
https://kanopi.io
Kanopi is...
- a tool that blurs the line between private note-taking and public linked data
- a part-time project from 2015 - Sept 2020, full-time since then
- my attempt to explicitly support more of the thinking/learning process (capture, collection, organization, synthesis, analysis, and maybe recall)
--- excluding functionality for presentation and real-time collaboration
- in private alpha - request an invite at kanopi.io!
The problems I'm trying to solve with Kanopi are:
- remove frictions from note-taking by using data on the web to suggest notes and links
- make notes useful across contexts/projects by adding outlines (Trees) and mind-maps/diagrams (Maps) on top of your notes
--- notes are not contained in these tools, they are referenced
- make notes more meaningful over time by encouraging smaller notes, with titles, that have labeled links to other notes (how is X related to Y?)
From user interviews I think academics and professional researchers experience these problems most acutely so they are my focus at this stage.
As some on this thread have discussed -- I don't expect to make this decision lightly, but if this sounds interesting and you feel it is a good fit then please reach out.
