I'd actually like to see a monthly post along these lines, in the same was as the "Who's hiring" or "Freelancers required/available" posts. I don't think it works as well on a post by post basis but as a collection it'd make for good scanning.

#32Cool idea!
As for me, I've been working on a career finding tool to help people find good career fits. It's almost done, and I'm excited about launching it. But I'm not sure how to get the word out about it.
If you have any ideas, or would like to try it!, my email is dgurevich5 [at] gmail.com

#33We have build http://DoerHub.com to tackle this head on. You post whatever projects you are working on (hackers, researchers, scientists, are are 50%+ of the community, but there are also marketers, subject matter experts, designers, etc). Examples: http://www.doerhub.com/for/doerhub (dogfooding) http://www.doerhub.com/for/robopaint http://www.doerhub.com/for/surgery-boards-app http://www.doerhub.com/for/coincashcard…
Totally random, unsolicited, off-topic feedback: this project seems cool and I suspect I might well be interested in using it, and I just bounced because I couldn't figure out how to explore it a bit without signing up. Basically exactly the same thing as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7489870
This is probably a weird irrational hangup, but I tend to assign a fair amount of weight to account creation, and am in general extremely unlikely to register for anything before I am certain that I actually want it. I lurked HN and reddit for, like, a year each before I finally was compelled to create accounts due to people being wrong on the internet. I am unlikely to join your community if I can't lurk anonymously for a while first.
I have no idea whether this makes me strange, of if there is a substantial chunk of the population who acts similarly.

Is this oral surgery on a ship? The "FR137" marker and door structure suggest that it is.

Really appreciate the feedback. (you can also email us at feedback@doerhub.com ) We're thinking about doing that and will ask users as well. The primary reason is because we are making it personal - if you show are great at Perl and want to know more about Marketing we are trying to show you people and projects who know more about the latter and are looking for help in the former. For an early outside prototype (cheaply hosted so traffic crash is likely) you can see here: http://peoplesearch-doerhub.herokuapp.com/viz/ . We want to make people luckier by default, instead of just browsing a growing number of projects in unrelated areas.

I think that being able to browse a little - some kind of search function, perhaps - before signing up would be great.

Love the concept. I'll also add my own remarks:
-I agree with the parent remark. You can't even give someone a link to a project.
-The Purchase and Ownership sections of the EULA are a bit odd.
-Discoverability of projects is poor.
-Interest tags seem a bit random. I want to add programming to my profile. What do I pick? programming? web dev? X language?

I think it's oral boards exam for surgery people, not oral surgery. The photo is uploaded by the project creator and the project is now in beta after the two founders met on DoerHub as far as I know. A hacker reached out to the surgeon who posted the project.

We have fuzzy matching and graph and weigh relationships between terms so if you do Perl it will tie up to programming. Get as specific as you need to be, we do the rest and get better every day.
"You can't even give someone a link to a project." You can actually give links to projects that want to have a public link. The ones I've shared above have enabled public links to their projects for sharing - they show prominently on the project page. A project creator can also chose not to have a public link for project they want to just share with doerhub people and not with the outside.
