Ask HN: Who wants to collaborate?

#1
This thread is similar to the monthly "Who is hiring?" and "Freelancer? Seeking freelancer?" threads.

But this one is for people who don't want to work for money and are not looking for people who want to work for money. But for people who want to work together on cool projects.

For free to make the world better or to start a startup.

If you do, please post your project or your skills!

I am building an open source web framework comparison.

The idea is to put together a project that gives an overview of how to set up a minimal viable web application from scratch via all the different frameworks.

For each framework the project features a self explanatory shell script that builds a web app with routing, templates and user accounts. So there is no ambiguity of how to reproduce the results. And it is even possible to just copy&paste the steps into a docker container and see the framework in action.

Here is the repo:

https://github.com/no-gravity/web_app_from_scratch

So if you want to compare how the frameworks do templating, you can look at the "Let's use templates" part and have a quick overview of how it is done in Django, Laravel, Flask, Symfony, NextJS...

I wrote the beginning of the Django script and two developers contributed Laravel and Symfony scripts. So far we have routing and templates. All three still need user accounts.

If you are experienced in a web framework, feel free to add to one of the scripts or a new one and send a pull request!

The web has gotten boring.

I'm starting a static web host where every page is remixable by default.

One click and you have a copy of any web page hosted on the platform.

Not only that, but the front-end code (HTML, CSS, JS) is treated as the source of truth. Whatever changes the owner makes to a page (through DevTools, some custom JS, or clicking a button that does something) is saved permanently to the DB.

This makes it possible for front-end devs to create interactive applications just by adding a JS plugin to the page.

I'm hoping projects like this idea will lead to a renaissance of blogs, personal websites, and remixable apps that push our normal conception of what a website is to the breaking point.

(Email in my profile if you want to discuss. This is a new project I haven't started yet.)

I am working on a Java UI kit that works on both desktop and browser:

Demos: https://www.reportmill.com/snaptea/

Repo: https://github.com/reportmill/SnapKit

There is a lot of benefit to this - fast, traditional desktop development with great deployment. It also has built-in developer tools and online access to a UI Builder. I hope this could make Java Client development interesting again.

I need collaborators to help write demos and improve the kit.

I'm building a live video cdn backed by a kademlia dht (the BitTorrent one). https://github.com/muxable/cdn

No major benefit of using a dht except it's kinda cool that the entire thing runs sans centralized database.

If you're interested, the space is what my startup is working on but the cdn specifically is mostly a fun tangent to learn about kademlia for me. It's always fun to work with more people in the live video space since it's a small community overall.
