I'm at the point where we use the tool continuously at my day job but I'm fairly time poor to take it beyond that. I'd be looking to connect with others that have built and promoted similar developer tools.

The EspUSB is a WiFi-controlled keyboard and mouse. A small dongle fits completely inside a USB port, and creates a WiFi network that you can connect to from your phone. It shares a web page, where you can drag the cursor around, or type in text, and have it appear directly on the computer. A video of it in action is on YouTube. [1]
The original open-source design is by [cnlohr], and is available on Github [2]. It was around from 2016, and I waited patiently for someone to manufacture it so I could buy it on eBay/Tindie/AliExpress/etc. Nobody built it.
Finally I studied the design files, figured out the BOM from the schematics, guessed a load of manufacturing parameters, and got PCBWay to build me 3 prototypes. They work!
I've since updated the firmware to let me type in Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Russian, Arabic, Thai, etc - not only English and German. This is particularly important for foreigners in such countries, where it's easier to type on a virtual keyboard on a phone, instead of putting stickers all over a laptop keyboard.
Now I'd like to order more EspUSB devices, so that other people can get them too. 8 people have expressed an interest so far, and one of them wanted 10 units. I can afford to buy 100 units at $25 each from the factory, if I'm confident that I'll have either the money or the devices at the end. I do not want to make a profit on it; if you do, you can keep the money. If you're willing to handle the business side (FCC/CE certification issues, tax, import duties, etc) and assure me that I won't be sued, then I can get you the devices.

Our tech is a 'lingua franca' of APIs. We started with newsrooms but the benefits apply pretty much to any large Enterprise. Newsrooms were a good first vertical because they are desperate for innovation.

I’ve been working on a mobile app since 2014 when I became fed up with $300 badge scanners at trade shows while in a tech sales position. It’s pivoted towards a short-and-sweet point-and-click cloud organizer for business cards and contact data syncing and is built with the Azure OCR computer vision API in mind for signal processing. It’s in the Apple App store called Sales-Linked (rebranding to Slink or Slinked). I’ve been searching for a tech lead for the software development team in Armenia and for rapid prototyping while going to market (beachhead is professional networking events such as Network after Work).
Roommate of 3 years is returning to the East Coast, leaving a private master bedroom and bathroom in a 2-bedroom 2-bath apartment open Dec. 1. He will be taking all the living room furniture.

This is a very Silicon Valley move (where I’m from) to incubate a SaaS product toward commercialization and seed capital from institutional investors. Looking for the right person who is ready for the next adventure in their lives towards financial freedom. 50% equity stake for the risk. $1250 monthly rent.
About me: From Sunnyvale, son of an immigrant who was in the start-up scene in the 80’s. Been in LA since 2010. Dropped out of my Graduate Program at USC in Biomedical Engineering to join the LED lighting manufacturing world. Currently busy growing TopGrow Lighting with my co-founder and high school friend (who still lives in Sunnyvale) manufacturing LED lamp replacements for marijuana cultivation, and my personal brand on Instagram as an arts & culture writer (@jhazani)
I’ve been the crash test dummy for the app while doing the field sales of TopGrow and have found it indispensable with all the contacts I gain as a necessity of being customer-facing. But it falls short as a full product with the necessary features of contact filtering and above all else: OCR scanning and data exporting.
If you’re intrepid enough, I invite you to check the place out and see where things go.
For the past several years I've been working on a novel computing interface, and approach to software creation. I've failed to launch or even complete a satisfactory demo because without funding I just can't seem to finish anything; every road looks too long at some point, and I reboot. Or I take on some paying work, and when I come back to it my thinking or dependencies have changed, and I reboot. The result is many broken projects and no demo / MVP.
I'm obsessive and highly resistant to compromise, and I need help managing time and money. I need a strong business partner who can understand my vision and help me to stay on track, and make things happen while my head is down (or in the clouds).
I need help getting funding. I need help scoping an MVP and getting it in front of early customers.
But what is it? See the deck linked in my profile, and please ask questions. I can't seem to get people to see it without very lengthy discussion. Even then, I know they aren't seeing what I see. I can't express how frustrated I am.
I can't stop. I feel like, because I see it, it's my responsibility to the world. I imagine all the people that it will help, and know that if I fail I will have let them down.
I'm doing unrelated work now to feed myself, and making very slow progress. Please, somebody unshackle me so I can do this!
Have a bunch of experience in Social, B2B SaaS, Machine Learning. Looking for a co-founder who can write code and is willing to learn and unlearn quickly.
Yugal is a peer-to-peer service marketplace where Youtubers hire other youtubers to help with specific tasks in the creation workflow such as editing, sound, script, thumbnail design etc. Running a successful YouTube channel requires you to be good at a number of things - script, editing, voice-overs etc. It is nearly impossible for a single individual to be good at all of these. Yugal makes creators successful by letting them skip over their skill gaps and get work done by other creators who already have those specific skills.
TypeScript and React skills would be great.
But what I really need is some sales and marketing hustle. I have been invited to be the tech provider on some research funding proposals, but aside from that don't have much time to hunt down more customers, or to lay SEO ground work. My extra time and energy goes to coding.
It's niche. No unicorn here. Although I'm still confident there is a market out there because it's supporting much more expensive and cumbersome competitors!
If you are even slightly interested shoot me an email at info@canvis.app
Why am I building this? Companies waste too much resources on building design then handing off later — essentially 2X the work. Giving designers / product people this sort of technology would empower them to validate their ideas quickly — essential to finding product market fit quickly.
Where I’m currently at: - I have an exceptionally fast text editor - I can convert 3 of the major mobile design tool files into a templating language than can be used to render native views on the fly - Mac app centered around this technology - Lots of hard problems solved around the current idea
What I’m looking for: - someone who is as excited about this idea as I am - someone experienced in backend and web front end - Next steps are finalizing UX / porting a web app for people to use (sort of like Figma) - integrate in analytics services - versioning system for designers
Reply to this post if anyone is interested I’ll post an email to connect to if anyone cares.
Still doing this part-time as I have a day job as a Data Scientist at a UK Fintech Alt Lender. Although I have technical skills (I can code python), they aren't that great and I'm looking to partner with someone technical.
I see a big opporunity for this so very likely to go the VC route rather than the Indie route.
If anyone is interested please shoot me an email freddie@earnedit.co.uk.

What I am building unlocks value and solves problems of current options. Maintains privacy, keeps out randos.
No, isn’t one of those been done million times, who is around you, just based on GPS, apps).
The magic happens in the backend, looking for someone who will focus on development of all server-side logic, You can make mobile apps that can handle lots of concurrent chats/chatrooms, thousands of users. It starts out simple but gets complex, lots of interesting problems to solve. More concerned about it works than how it looks, so basic frontend skills would be nice, but again back matters more
Basic MVP already built with React Native. You would not be building from scratch, but adding features (some very basic like social login and images) then followed by more complex things. Later we can do swift/kotlin apps for iOS/Android if needed.
You being based in the Bay Area would be nice but not a requirement. Built other chat apps before or something like that? Say hi. email in profile.
Looking forward to working with someone who likes to move fast and make something pretty cool. Its a big market we would be targeting.

Based on my market survey, there is a clear possibility of disruption since the big giants have completely ignored that huge chunk. Currently, I am involved in building the model side and I am looking for someone who has exposure to full-stack development, can build the android/ios apps. I can team-up with backend work. The target is to have an MVP by January 2020 (tentative). I am very open to the tech-stack as long as it can scale and breathe for a good time.
We can discuss more the intricacies of the idea. There needs to be a hustle, passion to build the product and faith in our team.

My side hustle is Electron/React + USB label printers: https://label.live.
If there’s someone out there that wants to work on a modern label printer app - send me an email at help @ label.live.
Or .. If someone had an idea for an electron app that interfaces with challenging hardware - I just might have an existing solution to leverage.
I’ve also had to solve per-machine Electron app licensing and built a nice solution using React, GraphQL and JWT.
I’m a software engineer with 15 years of startup experience including two IPOs. I have an idea for accessory subscriptions that fills a niche that seems to have no competitors.
I have need of the following, any help on any would be amazing:
- full stack generalist engineer: I cant code all the time if I’m doing everything else - business statistician: revenue models around subscriptions are fairly difficult - marketing guru: I’ve coded my entire life, never been much for marketing campaigns
I'm a full-stack developer .. can do backend (Python, PHP, Ruby, etc.), web frontend (React, Vue, Tailwind, Bootstrap, UI and UX design) and mobile apps for Android and iOS (native - Java / ObjectiveC or with React Native).
Trying to figure a way out to convert all the technical skills to a startup. Would love to collab with someone..
Anyone interested ?

There's one other technical co-founder who has been working on our mobile software. Located in Chicago, but would like someone in the Bay Area. I will likely be flying there this November if you want to meet up.
Here's my email: sauzciok@outlook.com
Thanks!
Remote collaborations would be great, but probably not something I'll explore until after I relocate (early 2020).
Looking For: A: Help as a primary co-founder building a back end, or the core infrastructure. B: I have an idea I've been working on for content creators, initially authors and editors. But it is very design / front end heavy. So am looking for a front end dev.
1. The web is completely broken. We need the equivalent of an immune system for it to filter through the rapidly-increasing pathogens and misinformation. Facebook sucks, but so does Google.
2. A tech community centered around collaborative research, curation and content discovery. This turns out to be a good way to connect smart, capable people together.
