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

Cool, want to shoot me an email and we can zoom sometime? There was a point in my life where all I did was play Magic ;)

Anyone know anything about getting a hardware product to market and interesting in working together? I’ve got an idea for a new kind of power outlet. Edit: my email is in my profile if you want to get in touch.

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…

Just wanted to jump in and say this sounds like an amazing project and I hope the best for you!

Make sure to do a Show HN when you get it far enough!!!

I'm building a new task manager. I'm aiming it to be like HEY of email apps - Kinda opinionated, but hopefully fits workflow for a lot of people. https://focustask.app Building this in my free time, and would love to talk to anyone who might be interesting in helping with either coding or with marketing. My email is vojto at focustask.app

I find alot of my job as a consultant is assigning ownership to tasks, following up with clients, writing meeting notes, and pushing priorities.

I've never found a productivity app/ task manager for consultants. I would love the ability to self generate follow up emails based on tasks for another person.

I would love the functionality to assign tasks to another person in my task manager, and on the day those items are due ("analysis", "Documents", etc.) it automatically creates an email for me saying i'm following up on this task.

OR a 'these are the tasks i am currently working on' automated email. So during the meeting i can be inside the app, writing down deliverables from the meeting and at the end it will generate a meeting email with each deliverable and who the owner is. If i have a task for a certain date and the next day i sign on and don't check off the task, it will generate an email saying 'Hey, sorry have been swamped, working on X today/ will get you this on X day. '

I’m creating a set of hands-on learning activities for high school students that use the Donkey Car (donkeycar.com) AI self-driving platform. Each hands-on activity teaches a lesson about engineering or machine learning. This is a not for profit collaboration with a group of college & high school students.

Please reach out if you have experience with Keras/Tensorflow and can help explain fundamental behavioral cloning concepts at a beginner/ high school level.

I wish there was a way to connect law firms or attorneys in states where you can read the law or become an apprentice with those wanting to become a lawyer without law school. I know there are only a few states, CA being the big one.

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…

So you get them hooked and hand them off to where they can lose real money? Even if you are hoping not many people move over, and are mostly focusing for the people who will stay with you, your revenue model is that funnel.

You could put it that way. I'm a huge fan of sports betting, poker, blackjack, you name it and have been gambling for well over a decade and this is something I enjoyed back when it existed as CentSports (2008-2011 era). So I'm just building something I wished existed (and is legal), and I'll leave the morality judgements to others.

It’s a bit of a wacky idea, but there are a bunch of outdoors clubs that have sub-par technology solutions. As these groups are small, usually minimal hardware and a FOSS tool or two is all they really need. Meaning their actual cost is probably way less then their expected cost (or what some hungry web dev quoted them at). The idea is to bridge the gap between these groups and some tech that would add value to the g…

I'm working on an (usually) open-source hardware designs - mostly HID devices. I'm pretty experienced with embedded programming. I do a lot of 3D art, which often inspires me to build devices. Currently I'm working on a BLE knob - here is a USB version https://ciesie.com/project/magknob/

I'm not focused on these making money but I'd like to reach a point where I can sell some devices. My main goal is quality and great user experience. I do lack some knowledge in PCB design which usually slows me down. Feel free to reach out via the linked website or the email I have in my 'About'. Even if you just want to pick my brain.
