Earlier quoted context omitted.

One thing I've been looking for is a simple to-do list app that allows sharing/syncing cross platform. There are some nice and simple to do list apps (eg. Notally on Android) that have no syncing. Then there are some platform specific solutions (eg. the Apple's Notes app) that work well on platform. I've been looking for something just to share a shopping list with my SO, and all I could find were elaborate SaaS prod…

Have you looked at Workflowy ( https://workflowy.com/ )? Allows you to share a subtree of your overall knowledge universe, works on all platforms, etc.

Looks nice! But I'm not sure I need all that complexity for a shopping list, and $60 a year is a bit steep if I'm only going to use it for a shopping list.

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

Myself working as a product manager, I'm always happy to improve my product building skills as well. I'll be glad to help.

I'm working on www.ghostly.kitchen; An operations forecasting platform which predicts sales & production demand then generates recommended solutions for foodservice operators.

The approach is to depart from client-side ERPs UX & simplify the (data) analysis process. The goal is to reduce decision fatigue / information overload in the operator's day-to-day ops.

I launched two foodservice companies in the past and have experienced this issue firsthand. It takes up substantial resources to maximize efficiency.

Working on the MVP & signed two pilots in SF. Target markets are cloud kitchens, catering/causal foodservice companies. My background is in sales/bizdev/ops, happy to discuss my background in detail.

If you're an experienced developer looking for a cofounder position in the saas/sustainability/ML space - please reach out to mo at ghostly dot kitchen Otherwise, still reach out. I'm excited to share this project

I just released a barebones MVP yesterday for a sports betting site with a little twist: We give users a little bit of money each week to play with ($0.50 right now) and if they can run it up past a certain point we'll pay them out in cash. If they lose the money, we put another $0.50 in the next week. It's legal in the US since the users aren't allowed to deposit and mainly for entertainment purposes. The plan is to…

Reminiscent of the old Centsports?

Haha exactly, actually talked to one of the cofounders before writing any code to figure out what happened to them. TLDR: when the DOJ cracked down on offshore sports books it cut off their revenue.

I'm interested in collaborating on video games, maybe especially card games. I built a game similar to Hearthstone (deckzap.com) where the players make the cards, but it doesn’t feel fun. I think I would work better in the game space with a collaborator.

I used to make a hiking app for a living, but now I’m just tinkering with side projects and writing.

I work on ways to write programs that help outsiders understand their big picture (rather than insiders understand incoming contributions). The goal: you (any programmer) should be able to use an open-source program, get an idea for a simple tweak, open it up, orient yourself, and make the change you visualized -- all in a single afternoon. More details: http://akkartik.name/about What I have so far: https://github.c…

This is related to the goals I have for https://github.com/conartist6/macrome, except that my focus is on restoring forking potential for frontend development.

I expect if forks become more abundant that the need for trust will be a major driver of merges.

I'm a front-end developer / artist / father. I'm trying to make a software application for families common in my situation. I have an 8 year old daughter who is very autistic and there is a huge lack in tools I feel that a family and kid can communicate with. To that end - I am trying to make a communication board tool. In my mind think of Trello board but there's not much in the way of words only symbols. Right now…

Cool sounding project, are you thinking of this as a hardware project or something that would run through a browser or as a stand alone app? Also what kind of art do you make? Im an artist working as a dev as well. I know we're out there but we're a bit rarer than I was expecting.

I'm thinking it'd be an app running on android/ios atm. Kids typically seem to gravitate to an 'app' and something running in a browser could lead to unexpected consequences if a parent wants to protect their kids from the greater web. I'd like for it to run in a browser if needed but it'd be easier for a kid to manage as an app. Look at youtube kids app as an example.

As for art I love watercolor, gouache, ink and brush. I trained professionally to be an animator so I love cartoons.

I do plain old boring FE/BE in JS, looking for stuff to do for boring evenings after work.

Looking to contribute to some nice project ideas, browsing GitHub projects usually gets me nowhere.

GMT+2, email address is in the About section of the profile.

I have a card game app I’m working on, focused on the mtg community. I would be interested in collaborating.

I recently bit the bullet and started building my first SaaS. It’s an ordering tool for restaurants I am building with Django + HTMX.

If I order out I usually phone the place directly because delivery app markup (plus delivery fees) are ridiculous where I live. Then I pickup. But I’m really not into phone conversations, for reasons.

There’s already established products but I feel there’s space in the market where I’m at. At the moment I’m doing market research (talking to local restaurant owners) and designing the user journeys.

Reach out username at gmail if you’re interested in chatting about it.
