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.

Dude nice! Gaia was great. Instantly recognized you from back in the day! Cool!

I'd love to make a 2d pokemon like game based on real world interactions that can be fun to play, include teaching social skills and business skills and life skills, and have the same joy and fun adventurousness as pokemon.

Would love to find a way to work together on something like that. I have a ton of fun real world experiences we could build in / characters / etc. and a vast idea world. A friend actually has a sci-fi universe of sorts and we could do some fun simple design around some of his plots. Lots of ideas. Would love to collaborate.

I’m a full stack dev for a large media company, and made https://nftpaint.app/ in my free time as an experiment. I have some ideas for turning it into a social drawing NFT app, but would like to find some people to collaborate with, specifically people who know about promoting NFTs or Solidity development.

i made a similar tool to learn elixir and it's collaborative in nature, would be interesting to see if you could do a similar twist so people could work on a piece together.

Do you have a URL for your project?

Whelp, I'm about to break the first rule of TAPBE. Imagine an Earth where all interactions / relationships are voluntary, with a societal structure that's resilient to everything from solar flares to the rise of oppressive governments.

I dunno what that would really look like. But I'd like to explore gift economies, time banking, and brainstorm the strategies and games that could enable a more equitable Earth.

As for the software side:

In my head I am imagining a hierarchical set of nodes organized by geographical proximity each hosting a django application connected by "privately" operated physical links.

I'd like to leverage http://www.nncpgo.org/ to make sneakernets and dead drops a first-class component of any software systems involved.

I put up a README with two guiding principles for now while I iterate on the concept more (https://sr.ht/~danielganado/TAPBE/). If you've got a solarpunk or agorist bent we'll be fast friends so work out my email address from my profile and say hey!

I started a go project to create a link aggregator similar to HN and old reddit, but built on top of ActivityPub. It's targeted at small to medium communities, but at the same time it can reach outward through the federation mechanism that ActivityPub provides. Outside of immediate support to intercommunicate with other instances of its own platform, it will handle interactions from the larger fediverse at large: Mas…

Nice. I'm gonna send you an email. I can help in design, docs, and want to build some things on top of ActivityPub. Maybe we can help each other.

Want to reach out to me via my email please?

I’m working on a search engine crawled by users themselves. If I think about it, I'm not interested in 99% of the web. Therefore I don't need to deal with exhaustively crawling the entire web. Hypothetically, if I could access only the sites visited by the HN crowd, that would be fine by me. Somebody in an art community might feel similarly. If there were some metric the crawlers could use to rate a page (time spent…

do you have anything we can see ?

Still pretty early stages. And I still have some decisions to make regarding the architecture of it. I'd like to do a ShowHN (my first), in the near future.

Cool to see more AP projects! I assume you're aware of Lemmy; maybe you could acknowledge it on the README/wiki and explain in what way the platforms differ. From what I understand, Lemmy is more reddit-like while littr is more HN-like. Is this correct?

Collaborate with me on million times faster software with Squeak Smalltalk software for cloud- and supercomputers. A single virtual machine image with multiple cores and petabyte per second memory access speeds. The software also scales down to M1 Max or AMD Zen 2/3 with only 400 GBps memory speeds. You can speed up simulations, search engines, datamining all science papers, machine learning, pattern matching, revers…

This sounds fascinating! In HPC environments how do the images communicate -- I'm just assuming there's some form of distributed computing going on there?

Yes, either Alan Kay's Croquet [1] with manycore parallel extensions or David Ungar's RoarVM [2]. Contact me for the much nicer demo's, videos and scientific papers.

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.

Would you be willing to take a look at my JS game development book? Details here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30166371

Looks interesting, I have a simple canvas game published on gh pages, hmu at mynickname@protonmail.com

I don't know what your family's needs are specifically, but there are several fantastic Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) tools out there that are open source and in active development. The community is very friendly and they always welcome help from experienced software engineers. I personally contribute to Cboard ( https://www.cboard.io ) and a few others but check out the OpenAAC website ( https://w…

Yeah I'm thinking of contributing to and taking from Cboard. Basically I want to great an interface that uses the symbols to help a kid not just interact with peers to talk to them but also say write and send a note.

I'd love to research practical ways to apply modern machine learning techniques to video games. Video game AI techniques seem stuck in the 90s. Too many games have been limited by poor AI, and I want to fix that. I'm currently wanting to study bandit methods and tabular reinforcent learning. These are limited, but simple and predictable, which is important for games.

Hi, I'm the author of a C++ library focused on tabular bandits, mdps and pomdps. It's called AI-Toolbox, and it's one of the largest non NN libraries out there.

The library is fully documented, but the text is probably a bit dry. I'd love for somebody to help me improve its accessibility, and I'd be willing to help them along learning how things work.

My email is my nickname and Gmail, feel free to reach out if you are interested.
