Hello HN! I'm Dave. I've worked on https://kontxt.io for a few years. Kontxt's a multi-purpose online communication and engagement tool for 1.) ENTERPRISE productivity, 2.) interactive and remote EDUCATION, 3.) expandable native AD platform for digital publishers, and 4.) a SOCIAL network to share the best parts of the web. There's a different business model for each solution.

I've built out the product. I'm looking for a partner with notable business and sales experience in at least one of these categories: enterprise, education, digital publishing and advertising, or social. I know HN is a tech community, but if you know anyone who'd be interested, I'd love to chat and see where the future takes us. Feel free to contact me at dbodin@kontxt.io.

Hope the new year is off to a positive start for everyone! :)

I'm building a music hosting + streaming solution with web, iOS and Android apps. Currently running a closed beta with 50 ish registered users. Looking for a co-founder to help continue development of the apps. iOS and/or Android experience would be great! Located in eastern Canada. If interested, feel free to email me at jsmith@hey.com :) Link here -> http://relar.app

great idea, something like this (depending on the pricing) might be just what I need to quit my music streaming subscriptions (youtube, etc) and start streaming my files.

Hi, I am a technical co-founder but more focussed on growth marketing and growth hacking. I am looking for interesting project I can team up with as an investor. At the same time I am also looking at someone on technical side to build a product that is a marriage between Kahoot + medium + youtube contact on HN

I'm working on a site called textmyapi.com (site's not up yet). It's a little SaaS platform that allows you to quickly define commands that can be sent over text messaging to invoke REST APIs. I got the idea when I was out camping and wanted to get some stats from an API that I had but I didn't have great internet connectivity, so I thought it would be fun to wire up my APIs so that I could hit them via text message…

Cool idea. I played around with something using texting as the primary controller for users and I quickly found Twilio quite expensive. I stumbled upon SignalWire and it made the cost much more manageable for lots of small messages and for lots of individual numbers. Just wanted to mention it incase it is helpful to you!

I'm working on an app to create custom notebook layouts by drag-and-drop graphical widgets with the option to print on demand the result: https://notebookeditor.com/ I have a lot of ideas on how to improve it and I think there are many use cases, especially for creating custom educational materials. But I haven't found the product market fit until now and I don't have a clear plan on how to monetise it. The 'front-en…

This is fantastic. I'm not applying for the co-founder role, but I've added myself to the mailing list. Brilliant idea.

If you want similar thing instantly ive used https://www.trulymine.ink/ in the past. They are pretty but over time i've realized that "one usecase" notebooks are enough for me.

an idea that might be useful.. you may split the outgoing channel from incoming channel ; it's usually the sending/outgoing that is slow/difficult (small device not able to transmit too far, think a phone in a rugged mountain). Some satelite-internet providers work this way, using satelite for the send direction and some other usual channel for the receiving. good luck

I released WDR (Web Data Render) a few days ago here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25352385 and now I'm working on a blog platform around this concept.

I also created an open-source project called Evaluatly (https://evaluatly.com) to create dynamic multipage stories.

Co-founder or not, I'd love to chat with anyone interested in these projects. gpiresnt at gmail, or DM on twitter on my profile.

My first venture gingrapp.com was recently acquired (good kind) and am looking for a new adventure. curbd.app is a MVP product I’ve been messing around with. Not sure if it’s got legs, though. Also have this concept app that’s the anti-Amazon app. It’s an app that lists all local stores inventory/pricing that consumers can use to one stop shop brick and mortar. Haven’t built that MVP yet. If you can’t tell, my passio…

I've recently started working on a similar mission: https://giverrang.com

Hi HN,

I'm the founder of AgMaps (https://agmaps.us) -- simple and fast drone mapping software for Agriculture. Map 160 acres in as little as 15 minutes on your iPad while the drone flies, then locate areas of stress or damage and walk out to manually inspect. High resolution visual and thermal imagery lets you see issues quickly without walking thousands of acres, leading to faster and more accurate inspection.

I'm looking for a non-technical co-founder to bring this technology to market, primarily targeting agronomy co-ops, fertilizer, seed, and crop insurance businesses in the midwestern US. Individual crop consultants may be interested as well. If you can sell software to Agribusinesses, lets talk. devin [at] agmaps.us.

Alright, I'll bite. Long story-short: I miss google reader beyond reason so back in may or so when the wfh was already a norm I decided to start building it(along with several other projects in parallel as a matter of fact). I have build some of the internals but... I haven't been subtle about how much I hate dealing with frontend and the modern frontend even more so. So if anyone is interested, contact in profile.
