HMO:

I'm building a dating website for kinky folks. I'm hoping to have it ready for launch at the end of the year.

So pretty much, I need kinky folks! Specifically:

(1) I'd like to find a lawyer to be COO / President.

(2) I'd like to find kinky business owners: we have some freebies to give away during launch month, so if you want to provide your customers with some extra goodies let me know!

(3) The site will need some design. Right now we're scraping by with bootstrap and cider.

(4) If you're a kinky person yourself and you'd like to be kept in the loop when the site goes live please get in touch!

You can contact me via reddit. Check profile for details.

How I can help: I build and market websites.

== Help Me Out: Try out https://wsend.net wsend.net is an easy way to send files from the command line. Trying to figure out how to get more people using it. Tell your friends about it / Tweet it out == I Can Help: * Someone to talk to * node.js, Python, PHP, MySQL advice. * A ride / drink / hangout in the NJ area. a-at-abemassry.com

What's the main reason I would need to send files from the command line?

If this is for person-to-person sharing, the person on the receiving end has to know the url that I sent it to - how is that normally accomplished? Usually the way that I send files to people is the same way that I would communicate to them that I have sent files, e.g. HipChat, email.

I think you need to give your definition of the word "kinky" before posting that message ;)

HMO/HYO: I'm a PhD candidate in experimental physics looking to get some experience in real-world product development. I have lots of experience developing and fabricating one-off devices for our research, and I'd like to bring that background to bear on problems outside my field. I'd be happy to talk with anyone working on hardware problems. I'm probably not the guy to talk to about making a polished final product, but if you need a quick and dirty prototype or are hitting technical problems, I might be able to help.

Contact info is on my website: http://guavaduck.com. I'm in Seattle.

Hey, I don't really get the app. Can you provide a quick introduction on what it does?

Currently, it's a distraction-free writing program that syncs your writing across devices. People find the austere layout ran in fullscreen mode to help them focus on long writing sessions.

My wife and a friend of mine both "won" NaNoWriMo using a previous, desktop-only version. It was very similar to programs like ZenWriter or FocusWriter.

I've since rewritten it as a single-page web app to start to target a few features at smartphones. To that end, it sports a responsive layout that automatically drops you into a snippets form on mobile devices for quickly jotting down and saving ideas. The writing mode is also useable on a smartphone as well, but nobody has used it significantly for that yet, so I don't know if people find it very helpful.

I'd like to eventually build in better management of book-writing projects, basic formatting and ePub export, text analysis algorithms for honing the writing, and "creativity encouraging" minigames that serve to stimulate the writer out of writer's-block or teach us better writing habits.
