I recently took over maintaining https://github.com/capacitor-community/camera-preview, an MIT licensed Ionic and Capacitor camera plugin written in Swift, Java and Typescript. I stepped up because I needed it, and lots of people wanted to embed a camera in their apps. Thanks to contributors I got a new release out yesterday.

I'm not a Swift programmer, or Kotlin programmer, and haven't touched Java in a decade. I would love to collaborate with people on this project. I can offer lots of enthusiasm, and if you like programming without hassle I'll handle all the user-facing stuff and managing GitHub issues and support requests, project admin and writing documentation :)

There is much to do (and users really want video recording on iOS), but I've not got the coding skills to start. Picking up one language would be a nice challenge; keeping the iOS, Android and web versions at feature parity... I can't do it on my own.

I'm with a friend and we're focusing on building cool SaaS projects as a way to improve our product building skills and possibly make some money.

At the moment we have a HR platform that one client is using and we're looking to build other stuff - we have some ideas in the making.

If anyone wants to join

I'm looking to support any climate-tech projects. I'm a mobile dev but can pick up any language / framework / tool. Particularly interested in ReFi and the intersection between web3 and climate.

Hello there! Send me an email (check profile), I've never thought about web3 + climate, but we do a lot of climate tech so let's talk.

This is a cool idea. Thank you to post your imaginative idea!

Recently there was a post reminding people about the excellent "polling" feature on HN. Suddenly there were a bunch of polls with great discussions that followed. It would be helpful if this page (https://news.ycombinator.com/submit) included tips about how to create a poll.

I'm interested in collabs on the make-inspired build system I'm working on, macrome. Repo is here: https://github.com/conartist6/macrome

My goals are:

- Restore the ability to use git repos as packages to the frontend ecosystem

- Simplify tooling needs by encouraging devs to check in a readable version of their product compiled down to standard javascript

- Provide the first interoperable way to package components, even those with styles

- Make it all Just Work as long as you run `macrome watch`

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 ev…

Here is a similar project: https://medium.com/@ericsimons/introducing-realworld-6016654...

Yes, there are a couple of these "build the same thing in different stacks" projects.

The main difference is the "no ambiguity" approach I take. When you look at the Django part of the project you linked to, you see it starts with 8 manual steps and then a bunch of optional steps in case it does not work.

I want to have no ambiguity. No manual steps. That is why every framework is handled by a script that is guaranteed to work on Debian 11 and leads to a running web app.

Hey there, I'm interested in your HR Platform and maybe expanding that? If you've got one client already, it might be scalable! Currently I'm working on wordpress plugin development to try and make small software that I cant bring to market quickly. Would you wanna connect?
