I was hoping this would turn out to be more of a 'developers looking to collaborate' instead of a 'looking for developers to work on my idea' thread. I will post my profile and hope that somebody can suggest a nice project to contribute to. Anyway, I'm reasonably experienced in C, have some experience in C++, C++, SQL, VHDL, Python, some HTML and Javascript as well. I have a good mathematical basis and some basis in…

I'm still going at my bike computer - you know, the open source, hackable one. I spent the past 2 months improving Tock OS - added GPS and file system - and yesterday got the display running: https://github.com/tock/tock/issues/2846#issuecomment-108617... I could use some help adding new drivers (esp. Bluetooth, but also simple ones like touch screen) and if someone explained Bluetooth Low Energy or Apache NimBLE to…

I'm not sure I 100% follow. It says "bike computer" do you mean a literal computer attached to the bicycle? I saw the github it shows some software runing on PineTime. Edit: actually I guess that is not the PineTime in the photo, knob is on the right side.

A bike computer is the name for a device you put on your bike to show you useful info like speed etc.

Typically they are about as flexible as calculators, but this CPU has been shown to run Doom, so it's a general-purpose computer too :)

Whoa that's pretty neat. Do you have a physical prototype yet like a 3D printed case around it, battery, etc? I know you mentioned GPS but wondering if you would consider a hardware input like an rpm reader on the tires.

If anyone has decent experience in C#/.NET and/or graphics programming, you are welcome to join the developer team of the Stride game engine. https://github.com/stride3d/stride The code base is already mature and very professional. The quality standards are fairly high, but that's a nice challenge and you can even learn a lot, depending on your level of experience. As for the history, Stride was developed commerciall…

Yes, I have ordered a batch of smart watches that go on the handlebars, same as the prototype on the photo.

I will sell them together with a Bluetooth wheel/cadence sensor once I figure out Bluetooth.

would you share your project here please? that's kind of the point of this topic.

I have no code skills but I have an idea for an app that would help volunteers get paid by donation via qr codes and social media. I believe that would help lower income people who want to volunteer or introverts who want to get out and do good for the earth without joining a group. The main goal would be picking up trash.

I’m a software engineer trying to build open-source, DIY friendly carbon capture machines in my spare time. My current project is an electrolyzer that turns a pure CO2 stream + water into other useful molecules.

I’d love to collaborate with anyone with anyone who wants to make a dent in the climate change problem. Chemistry experience a plus, but not necessary. Come find me in the OpenAir discord (https://openaircollective.cc)

That sounds pretty cool. Good luck.

I'd be curious on design choices like waterproofing, battery life, things like that. Also I think you mentioned your site is getting worked on but pictures to clarify what it is about would help sell it.

We’ve (our team) been working on a generative, always-on interactive television show/game that uses a combination of machine learning, generative algorithms, and more, to create media content fully autonomously. We’ve been at it for 3 years now and have a fully working prototype, but recently our backend developer took a job at Amazon, so we’re short a dev to continue developing the project. Our stack is a combination of JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python. Happy to share videos and links to our Twitch livestream, if interested.

We think the world is trending toward niche, hyper targeted entertainment, and that generative methods are going to be the dominant way to create games, television shows, movies, and more heading into the future. You can contact me at skyler at mismatchmedia dotcom.
