Who wants to collaborate?

I'm a front-end developer / artist / father. I'm trying to make a software application for families common in my situation. I have an 8 year old daughter who is very autistic and there is a huge lack in tools I feel that a family and kid can communicate with. To that end - I am trying to make a communication board tool. In my mind think of Trello board but there's not much in the way of words only symbols. Right now I have mockups and am evaluating whether to do this in unity 2d or Web/JS. Throw everything you know of UX and common UI frameworks out the window this is for kids the world keeps turning it's back on to enable them to participate.

I work on ways to write programs that help outsiders understand their big picture (rather than insiders understand incoming contributions).

The goal: you (any programmer) should be able to use an open-source program, get an idea for a simple tweak, open it up, orient yourself, and make the change you visualized -- all in a single afternoon.

Lately I'm spending a lot of time thinking about the sandboxing model. I'm giving a talk about it at FOSDEM this weekend: https://fosdem.org/2022/schedule/event/lastmilesandboxing

As a concrete stress test, consider a file browser like Midnight Commander (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30137864). How would you craft policies for a file browser that give it just the permissions it needs to scan directories and open files, but prevent malicious code that creeps into it from scanning directories or opening files?

An open source bicycle computer.

The goal: a privacy-preserving, standalone fitness assistant on which you can load custom apps.

I always wanted a bicycle computer that I could program, which would help me not gethurt while training, and which would remember where I like to cycle. The modern ecosystem is full of devices, but I haven't seen a programmable one, much less one that can also survive for weeks on battery and wouldn't sell my data.

The moment has finally come, and I found a decent base!

I bought a Bangle.js 2 smart watch and a couple sensors, and have just started adapting it for this purpose. I'll need help getting the Bluetooth stack running, as well as creating an application to download and compare GPS trails.

The project is not formally announced yet, but feel free to contact me over email or Matrix (see profile).

Edit: obligatory mention of Rust as the preferred language ;)

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 on page, manually downvote, etc), then the signal/noise ratio would be really good.

Obviously if I wanted to do a really broad search, I'd use a typical search engine, but if it's tech related, I wouldn't mind pages that have been browsed by HN.

The web has gotten boring.

I'm starting a static web host where every page is remixable by default.

One click and you have a copy of any web page hosted on the platform.

Not only that, but the front-end code (HTML, CSS, JS) is treated as the source of truth. Whatever changes the owner makes to a page (through DevTools, some custom JS, or clicking a button that does something) is saved permanently to the DB.

This makes it possible for front-end devs to create interactive applications just by adding a JS plugin to the page.

I'm hoping projects like this idea will lead to a renaissance of blogs, personal websites, and remixable apps that push our normal conception of what a website is to the breaking point.

(Email in my profile if you want to discuss. This is a new project I haven't started yet.)

I'd love to work with people who want to create free educative games for kids, games fun enough to keep kids playing while developing their brains in positive ways. Most games I found are infested with ads (hence not free), sprinkled with lots of dark patters and the games are not good enough I'd even pay for them. Maybe there are some free gems out there already but are quite hard to find. My kid is 4yo and it has been quite hard to find anything worthwhile for his screen time (something free at least).

I'm in a volunteer role as CIO for a nonprofit focused on human trafficking, and we're building a new investigations and case-management platform using Svelte/TypeScript/SvelteStrap, Rust/Rocket, and Postgres (and likely Neo4j at some point) because the options out there are either poor or very expensive. Once we have something working and solid, we're going to open-source it and provide it to other groups in similar spaces.

This project is a great opportunity to learn or expand your skills if any of the stack is interesting to you - a big part of our goal is to help build up the technical skills of anyone who wants to dive in somewhere.

We've got a number of investigators on staff and are starting to get a decent feedback loop with them to iterate on what we're building.

We've also got some unique and useful ideas that haven't been implemented before, and if things go well, we really think this could give a kick-in-the-pants to Maltego and Palantir's offerings, amongst others.

If anyone is interested or wants to know more, please let me know!

I'd love to work with people who want to find ways to build low cost 802.11ax mesh implementations. Think high powered raspberry pis (or their equivalents) being customized to compete with the crazy high costs of Orbi implementations. And I absolutely have zero interest in the monetary value here. RPi + wifi shields + fun is what counts. If you're interested, I'd love to team up! And I bring all kinds of nerdy engineering skills to boot and I'd be doing this for fun with other engineers. The goal would probably be an implementation that would one day show up on hacker news as a post for other folks to build and enjoy!

I'm working on https://ubikom.cc, end-to-end encrypted email service based on the concept of self-sovereign identity. Basically, you keep the encryption key, and all your messages are encrypted, on the wire or at rest. The core platform is open-source, the code is available here: https://github.com/regnull/ubikom

Billions of users use GMail (or similar services). These companies are making money by selling ads, and their "free" email service is just another way to improve ad targeting. Furthermore, your account can be disabled at any time and for any reason. Sure, you can switch to Protonmail, Tutanota, etc. because they are "good" companies. But why do you have to trust to any of them? Keep your encryption key, and have communication providers move around encrypted bytes on your behalf. Store your identity on a blockchain (maybe), so that no one can take it away.

That's the idea. If you'd like to work on something like this, get in touch. lgx (at) ubikom.cc

I've been working on a city builder/simulation video game for the last few months. If that's something you're curious & passionate about, send me an email (see profile).

The game is built from the ground up with SFML and C++. The graphics are sprite/tile based. The game is top down, 2D, and will display the interior of buildings so you can watch your citizens live their lives. You'll be able to change z-levels for multi level buildings.

The focus of the game will be more on the simulation (Dwarf Fortress is a huge inspiration) than on building pretty cities (e.g. Cities: Skylines), although I do care about the art direction.

I have a long runway to take off from, about 2-3 years, so I have the time (and patience, and desire) to care about quality and efficiency.

What Im working on now:

Here's a brag & demo of the pathfinding I am currently wrapping up:

https://i.imgur.com/vtKXKLK.mp4

Note a few things:

* All possible paths are found in O( m + n log n ) time, even though there's a binomial coefficient number of possible paths in this grid. The tree is stored in memory for constant time access. Im using parallel flat hash maps to significantly lower the memory footprint.

* The units choose the shortest path that match their preference (i.e. the color of the unit), thus choose a path that contains the most tiles of their color.

* Pink units dont have a preference and will use any of the paths available.

* I'm not an artist!

* Currently wrapping up multi-lane road pathing (which is quite tricky!).

* In the game, preferences will be history, tourism, beauty, food, neighborhoods the unit can relate to (religion/nationality), etc.

This may be the edge of what is off topic, but I’ve looked for a long time.

I’ve worked on a compiler for a HM type checked language for a while. Since September last year I’ve been stuck trying to implement tagged unions (such as Maybe). I’ve got all other features.

I’m looking for a tutor who would write a type checker with me in a screen sharing session. I’m located in Dalarna, Sweden atm, but can do any timezone that fits. I want to pay for this as I am really really curious to find out how it works! It’d probably be no more than around 100 LOC for just the type inferrer.

I want the web to be more end-user programmable. Web apps big and small should offer plugin extension mechanisms! Ideally plug-ins are frictionless to author, and powerful enough to build fun UIs. Today, only really big premier apps like Figma and Google Docs have this kind of feature.

One problem is that it’s very difficult for an app to run arbitrary, untrusted user code in a way that’s secure and efficient, especially in the browser. Apps need to worry about XSS and unintended remote code execution, much less try adding those things as a feature.

I started working on a Typescript/WebAssembly library around the QuickJS JavaScript runtime to address this need. QuickJS runs modern ES2020 and provides an API for the host process to set CPU and memory budgets for the execution environment, which is completely sandboxed. My work so far exposes a basic interface to create VMs, expose APIs from the host to the guest, and evaluate code.

Repo: https://github.com/justjake/quickjs-emscripten

NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/quickjs-emscripten

Areas of work:

- Make the library importable as ES modules on the web without a Webpack build step.

- Design higher-level but still security-conscious APIs for building plugin systems on top of the existing library.

- Expose more QuickJS C APIs to library users.

- Performance or ergonomic improvements.

If you share any of these goals or would like to help out, please drop me a line on GitHub (eg by opening an issue), or via any of the links on my HN profile.

I'm building out a new budgeting/personal finance app born out of frustration with YNAB. Would love someone skilled with UX to help me out with it. The front-end is a react application, and the backend is Elixir/Phoenix.

Some of my frustrations with YNAB:

* Rigid categories. This makes you do a lot of work up front. I am envisioning letting people just assign categories on the fly without having to pre-define them.

* What do to with my money? In YNAB, every paycheck you are a supposed to give each money a job (a category). In practice, there is a very little guidance around what to do if you have too much, or too little money. I'd like a little less flexibility here, as well as the ability to create/define rules to help make actual assignment of funds more automated. ( I have some ideas about this).

* Its very common to budget intermittently. But you can come back to your budget after a month and have 100s of transactions to go through, your categories are all underfunded, and you don't know what to do, so you click "Make a Fresh Start". I also have idea around this

* Reports: The default reports in YNAB leave a lot to be desired. Extensions like "Toolkit for YNAB" help, but good reporting should be a first-class citizen of a finance app.

* Tagging transactions. related to the above, tagging transactions will help with reporting and seeing where your money is going.

-------------------------------

If any of the above interests you, my email is in my HN profile. This is a side/after-work project, not a full-time one.

I'm building a new task manager. I'm aiming it to be like HEY of email apps - Kinda opinionated, but hopefully fits workflow for a lot of people.

https://focustask.app

Building this in my free time, and would love to talk to anyone who might be interesting in helping with either coding or with marketing.

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, reverse indexes, huge in-memory databases, etc. Squeak ports bit-identically to more hardware than Linux and can run at almost compiled C speeds. We can also run it on our smalltalk microprocessor (FPGA or ASIC) to speed it up more than current ARM and X86. I'm not stuck on Squeak, we use David Ungar and Alan Kay's [1] VPRI research [2] and write entire operating systems and apps in less than 10,000 lines of code by make high level DSL languages in Ometa and compile them to (supercomputer)hardware. Of course we try to get funding but meanwhile we make demo proofs. Morphle at ziggo dot nl

I created https://www.dotheysupportit.com/ to help people track politician's stances on bitcoin and cryptocurrency innovation.

Would love to find editors/journalists who are interested in adding their own commentary to the site and helping rack and stack people as for or against.

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'm building a live video cdn backed by a kademlia dht (the BitTorrent one). https://github.com/muxable/cdn

No major benefit of using a dht except it's kinda cool that the entire thing runs sans centralized database.

If you're interested, the space is what my startup is working on but the cdn specifically is mostly a fun tangent to learn about kademlia for me. It's always fun to work with more people in the live video space since it's a small community overall.

I'm looking for an accountability partner to meet with for 30 minutes once per week for the next few months over Zoom. I have a cert that I'm working towards completing and am procrastinating on. The way it goes is we schedule a weekly meeting where I tell you what I'm going to have completed by our next meeting, and then you do the same. At the next meeting we ask each other how that went and repeat. It's honest and transparent, but we don't judge or try to fix it. I'm available during North American hours.

I'll start off with my prototype:

Anyone into electoral methods or game theory? If you've ever watched CGP Grey's videos on electoral methods or seen Nicky Case's *To Build a Better Ballot*,[1] it's very much in the spirit of that. It's mostly a toy that will run a single election in a large number of different electoral methods.

Currently I've implemented ~26 different electoral methods which is pretty neat. However, I've shied away from the methods that voting theory nerds love the most: Condorcet methods. I've implemented Copeland (although there's a mistake I haven't fixed yet) as well as Kemeny Young. However, Kemeny Young is implemented in the most brute force way possible and is O(n!) right now.

Mostly I think I'm just looking for people with a math/game-theory background that would be interested in helping out, but I'm open to anyone interested. I know there's a lot of optimizations I could make to the Kemeny Young algorithm, but I've been hesitant to do so because I can't find the right theorems to make sure certain assumptions are true. For example, I'm quite sure that a subset of weak Condorcet winners would be at the front of the winning path, but I haven't found a textbook that's stated this explicitly and it's been a long time since college so I'm kinda iffy on proving it to myself. I also don't think having to learn the proof everytime just to make sure my assumptions are mathematically sound is the best way to develop such a tool. Thanks

It's all open-source and won't have ads and will hopefully just be a static site so it's really just a hobby project.

I'm an instrument-rated pilot. I'm working on a Python library to model aircraft performance with just a few numbers specific to your airplane (e.g., the drag coefficient, and some measurements). I used performance data generated by the library to fly across the entire United States at altitudes and with efficiency beyond the POH.

Seeking other pilot-programmer-contributors: [redacted]

I'm interested in finding folks who can complement my skillset. I'm a front end dev and can design and build (imo) really good web apps. My tech stack is Next.js + Tailwind CSS deployed on Vercel or Netlify (jamstack fan boy). I am opinionated about the tech I use not because its the greatest thing out there but because its the tool I know best and enables me to move really fast and effectively. I'd love to partner with a backend dev and/or marketing guru to build a cool project. You can check out some of my projects here: https://www.hackyexperiments.com/

I've started doing programming language research, specifically in three topic areas:

1. How to tamp down program complexity by compartmentalizing side effects? Are hexagonal architectures, monads, and algebraic effects the best ways? What are their pros and cons and are there other potential candidates?

2. How would abstract concepts like data structures and architectural structures be reified visually? Is there a Tufte for data structures? Do they actually help in understanding a program?

3. Is it possible to run programs on a remote machine you don't control and be assured that it was executed correctly?

If there's anyone else that's looking along these three avenues or even tangentially related to local-first software, tools for thought, or dynamicland, I'd be happy to trade notes on interesting areas.

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: Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed, etc.

Currently this is a one man project, namely me, and I would welcome support in any area that people could help: development, design, documentation, graphics, copy, etc.

The project can be found at https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr, and if anyone is interested there is a mailing list where people can get in touch: https://lists.sr.ht/~mariusor/activitypub-go

Some details about the project can be found on its wiki: https://man.sr.ht/~mariusor/go-activitypub/brutalinks/index....

[edit] for the curious, there's also a demo instance at https://littr.me

https://platelet.app https://github.com/platelet-app/platelet

I'm working on a project to develop a dispatch system for volunteer emergency couriers, aka blood bikes. They deliver samples, blood, donated breast milk and equipment between hospitals around the UK, as well as supply blood to air ambulances.

The app is meant to replace a system of pen, paper and spreadsheets that the service is mostly being run on. I've been working directly with the charities for it to best suit their needs.

It uses React, JavaSript, Material UI, Jest, Redux, Amplify and React Testing Library. Eventually I'd like to develop a React Native mobile app too.

There are some details on the issues page https://github.com/platelet-app/platelet/issues about some of the work that still needs to be done.

I have a Discord too although it's a little quiet - https://discord.gg/tWhCM98ckB

I'd be glad to hear from anyone who feels like they'd want to contribute. If you have any questions, feel free to ping me (Ducky) on Discord.

I'm building an opensource GitHub for Flashcards. Basically Anki Online (though there's an offline first client). The idea is that it should be easier to collaboratively build flash cards. The project started out with F#/Blazor, but for various reasons I'm (sadly) moving to Typescript/Electron.

https://github.com/dharmaturtle/cardoverflow

Typography of code : Design meets the IDE. How can the visual presentation of code be made more functional and aesthetic. Syntax highlighting doesn't have to be the zenith of how code is displayed. (Once upon a time indentation was a radical new idea!) I'd love to ideate and build prototypes with like minded coder-designers.

Blog post I wrote about the steps in developer experience up till now: https://wanderingstan.com/2020-02-04/the-evolution-of-develo...

I am building an open source web framework comparison.

The idea is to put together a project that gives an overview of how to set up a minimal viable web application from scratch via all the different frameworks.

For each framework the project features a self explanatory shell script that builds a web app with routing, templates and user accounts. So there is no ambiguity of how to reproduce the results. And it is even possible to just copy&paste the steps into a docker container and see the framework in action.

Here is the repo:

https://github.com/no-gravity/web_app_from_scratch

So if you want to compare how the frameworks do templating, you can look at the "Let's use templates" part and have a quick overview of how it is done in Django, Laravel, Flask, Symfony, NextJS...

I wrote the beginning of the Django script and two developers contributed Laravel and Symfony scripts. So far we have routing and templates. All three still need user accounts.

If you are experienced in a web framework, feel free to add to one of the scripts or a new one and send a pull request!

I recently took over maintaining https://github.com/capacitor-community/camera-preview, an MIT licensed Ionic and Capacitor camera plugin written in Swift, Java and Typescript. I stepped up because I needed it, and lots of people wanted to embed a camera in their apps. Thanks to contributors I got a new release out yesterday.

I'm not a Swift programmer, or Kotlin programmer, and haven't touched Java in a decade. I would love to collaborate with people on this project. I can offer lots of enthusiasm, and if you like programming without hassle I'll handle all the user-facing stuff and managing GitHub issues and support requests, project admin and writing documentation :)

There is much to do (and users really want video recording on iOS), but I've not got the coding skills to start. Picking up one language would be a nice challenge; keeping the iOS, Android and web versions at feature parity... I can't do it on my own.

I'm working on a website where you can play a 2-player version of Conway's Game of Life.

https://github.com/lukew3/congol

I could use someone to help out and keep me motivated.

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.

I volunteer for a healthtech charity building mobile apps to support HIV prevention.

Our first product, Preptrack, helps people to use PrEP, the medicine that eliminates the risk of HIV infection. It's live on the App Store and has a strong and active community of users who love what we do.

We're always looking to talk to software engineers who would like to do a little good in their spare time or as a side project.

Feel free to check out our website (https://preptrack.co.uk), our volunteers page (https://preptrack.co.uk/volunteering/engineer/) or shoot me an email (sam [at] preptrack [dot] co [dot] uk). I'd love to hear from you.

I want collaborate on publishable ML research.

I'm currently working as a machine learning engineer, but doing a lot more engineering than learning. I'm also applying to PhD programs with focuses in knowledge graphs and common sense reasoning, but willing to learn any other field. If I don't get in then some independent research is still a good career move.

I have ideas of my own (goal oriented question asking) but happy to run support on other peoples stuff.

Seems like a well received thread. Please continue to post monthly.

I'm working on an (usually) open-source hardware designs - mostly HID devices. I'm pretty experienced with embedded programming. I do a lot of 3D art, which often inspires me to build devices. Currently I'm working on a BLE knob - here is a USB version https://ciesie.com/project/magknob/

I'm not focused on these making money but I'd like to reach a point where I can sell some devices. My main goal is quality and great user experience. I do lack some knowledge in PCB design which usually slows me down. Feel free to reach out via the linked website or the email I have in my 'About'. Even if you just want to pick my brain.

In a slightly different direction, I'd love to collaborate with someone on writing and producing low-budget short films in NYC. I have some plot ideas bouncing around, as well as some basic equipment and (mostly theoretical) skills in cinematography, sound, and editing.

If you're interested - Piano Gym is looking for others who are interested in building out our existing website and tools

Here's a quick video explaining it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faxNDhOjlh4

Piano Gym is a learning and practice ecosystem focused on prioritizing music theory and performance skills acquisition through the use of flash cards. We use flash cards in order to pair them with modern learning techniques like spaced repetition, graded feedback, and progress tracking so that you can practice material and work through content that is managed by Piano Gym, and all you have to do is enroll in a school/course/lesson and do your reps! Just show up every day and do 15 minutes of reviews. You're going to make progress.

Our website uses the Piano to navigate exercises as well as regular keyboard/mouse input. We work on browser technology and are looking to eventually make it mobile devices.

We provide content creation for everyone so that anyone can make their own schools/courses/lessons and the best part is each school gets its own landing page.

For example we're using the methods book from https://freepianomethod.com which is provided by Mayron Cole, and if you wanted to practice it without signing up or enrolling you could easily visit this link: https://pianogym.com/schools/Mayron%20Cole%20Method

Even better when you find the piece you want to practice you can share it directly like so: https://pianogym.com/schools/Mayron%20Cole%20Method?sheet_mu...

Our goal is to do this for free. We believe that no one should be blocked from learning. And one of the issues with this at the moment is that our team is very small and has been currently working nights and weekends to make this happen. We would love the chance to add a technical member to our team in order to build this product out to its full vision.

If you're interested please feel free to direct message me or reach out on social media :)

We're building the first political party that comes with an app.

Imagine if American democracy was improved 10x. A fairer, more representative, more effective government for everyone.

The goal is to start small, provide a 10x better experience for citizens, and gradually overtake/integrate with the 2 major parties: - The Software layer for the "hardware" of existing political institutions - Better voting - deliberate in app, and then vote all at once in a bloc - Better tools outside of voting - perks, feedback, and more

Work with me! Shoot me a message at ztang230@gmail.com. Would love to talk to anyone interested! (or tell me why the idea sucks)

It’s a bit of a wacky idea, but there are a bunch of outdoors clubs that have sub-par technology solutions.

As these groups are small, usually minimal hardware and a FOSS tool or two is all they really need. Meaning their actual cost is probably way less then their expected cost (or what some hungry web dev quoted them at).

The idea is to bridge the gap between these groups and some tech that would add value to the groups. There is a strong possibility of cross pollination between outdoors groups, and for individuals in these groups to require more specialized tech solutions.

It feels crazy enough that it might work, but the idea is still young.

Email is in my profile if you have any advice, think this is stupid/great, want to collaborate, or just want to chat!

I'm a dev-ops engineer by day. I creating a simple to standup and use message queue(similar to kafka and rabbitmq) in Golang. As of right now, the project is solely to learn more about Go and internals of the commit log.

https://github.com/bdkiran/nolan

General things that could help with this project:

- Single node only, add distributed support(based on raft?)

- Improve or replace the custom protocol for sending and receiving messages(I wrote the current one, it's not pretty)

- Update the CLI to allow for managing topics

If you're interested in contributing to a Go project, in the area of distributed systems check out the repo or send me a message with your ideas.

Hi everyone, I was bored during Christmas and I decided to implement plan9 semantics inside the browser. I have 9p2000 working, file servers and I've imported namespace logic from linux. My objective is to be able to mount one browser into another, and eventually implement a network stack similar to GNS. My objective has been more academic, learn more about operative systems, but this might lead to some interesting places. I would like to get into a point where we can have a browser to browser web, with its own Name System, and applications.

I'm building an IBM 5150 (original IBM PC) emulator. Most of it is therefore an 8086 (technically 8088 but no difference for this) emulator. I have it successfully booting the BIOS and running BASIC in ROM (Casette BASIC). I'd like to boot DOS. The CPU passes automated tests, but I could use help with the disk support chips (everything is low level emulation right now) such as the floppy controller and more CGA graphics modes. It's just a hobby project—I'm not looking to make it performant, just working.

It's written in poor C++ with SDL.

I've been developing web crawlers for the better half of a decade. They are used for various purposes such as cataloging sentiment/bias in news media, finding new tv shows to watch, or mapping out the Tor hidden service directory.

Currently, I am writing a web crawler application framework in golang. Always looking for help or new ideas on what to crawl next!

Emails welcome, check my profile.

Hey, I am working on an opensource web-based note-taking tool called Bangle.io [0]. Note-taking is a pretty crowded space with new tools showing up every other day. Bangle.io tries to stand out by allowing users to own their data and not locking them to a cloud provider. I also have plans to add extensions and multiplayer collaboration in the future. If this spikes your interest, please find me at [1].

- The API is focused around sending and receiving messages to addresses derived from public keys.

- Each application can have its own stable address.

- Runs as a daemon process which is configured with peering information. Additional network nodes can be spawned through the API.

- Can easily support arbitrary routing algorithms through a well defined interface.

- A TUN device (similar to CJDNS or Yggdrasil) is included as a separate application. (The IP6 Portal)

I am working on a Java UI kit that works on both desktop and browser:

Demos: https://www.reportmill.com/snaptea/

Repo: https://github.com/reportmill/SnapKit

There is a lot of benefit to this - fast, traditional desktop development with great deployment. It also has built-in developer tools and online access to a UI Builder. I hope this could make Java Client development interesting again.

I need collaborators to help write demos and improve the kit.

I’m working on making robots to collect bottles and redeem the California refund value. Basically so you could bring your bottles to a big mechanical sorter, dump your bottles in, and get maybe like 2c per bottle paid to you, then 3c pays for the cost of transport. Currently based out of Mountain View. My background is in machine learning and I’m muddling through the electronics and mechanics, would definitely like to have help with that stuff or really just find other people interested in this intersection. If interested send me an email at contact@treasurerobotics.com

Perhaps someone reading this might be interested in developing a joint national branding strategy and national development strategy for Thailand. More details here and here:

Hi, I'm an ex-big-tech employee working on FeatureAsk.com

It's 2022 and yet if you ever think of a feature for an app or a product you use, there's no good place to voice it and feel heard. I want to change that.

Looking to collaborate with fellow engineers and people with a strong product/growth sense.

I'm working on computational chemistry, with the very long-term (decades) goal of designing molecules (proteins/enzymes) for things like artificial photosynthesis and molecular computing (chips still rely on the bulk properties of semiconductors; for miniaturization to continue, at some point it will become necessary to design molecules to function as logic and interconnect).

See https://github.com/pbsurf/chem

Hi, I'm working on solutions to currency inflation and would love some help. Similar to a COLA (cost of living adjustment) on your salary, I think people should receive a COLA on their savings. Inflation destroys economies and lives all over the world, due mostly to uncontrolled currency printing by gov't. And, as obvious as it may sound, we don't have to sit back and just accept it anymore. We can build tools that protect people, and their savings, from dramatic losses in value. To do that, I am building an NFT "Russian doll" that is linked to CPI (consumer price index). How does it work?: As CPI rises past a predetermined level, the smart contract in the Russian Doll nft will auto-mint the holder a new NFT (Russian Doll #2), which the holder can then sell to cover inflation. Buyer of Russian Doll #2 gets same inflation protection, as CPI rises past a predetermined level, RD #2 auto-mints RD #3, and on and on.

As governments print more money, and prices rise, the hope is that citizens can use these NFTs to combat that rise in price. That is the basic idea, which we can iterate on. I'm super excited about it simply because I think it has the potential to do a lot of good in this world. look forward to hearing from anyone interested, please reach out!!! (pdeckr at gmail).

I want to build a prototype experimental Skytherm roof on a garden shed or tiny house as a proof of concept to reduce home energy consumption for heating and cooling. See http://www.solarmirror.com/fom/fom-serve/cache/30.html for the concept. The idea is to have shadable thermal mass on the roof that will gain solar heat during winter, but in summer operates in reverse shaded during the day to prevent heating, but open to the sky at night to allow any heat buildup to radiate into space. Goal would be year-round interior temperatures in the range 60-80 degrees F without any additional heating/cooling. I am thinking the solar mass could be bricks or water bladders or bags of phase change material (e.g. snowmelt calcium chloride). The glazing could be cheap polycarbonate roof panels, and the shading can be motorized roller blinds or miniblinds. Could be operated manually or could be motorized and automated with custom arduino/raspberry pi controllers. Can measure temperature and humidity at various points in the building using cheap DHT11 arduino sensors.

I am retired and don't have the space or physical capability to build this at my home so I'm looking for someone who has or wants to build a shed or tiny house and who has basic construction ability. I can help with basic design and maybe arduino prototyping and scripting. If it works I'd like to put it on the web so anyone could copy it and be confident it would work. Phase 2 might be doing the same with a manufactured/mobile home.

I'm working on a repository of open source hardware designs over at postdrc.com.

I always like to take a pulse check on which components and configurations other people are using for different hardware functional blocks (think 3v linear regulator, logic level shifter, etc.).

Taking inspiration from dribbble and tailwindcomponents applied to open source electronics.

Let me know if you're interested in taking it for a test drive or helping with development. Technology stack is: Nextjs frontend, Strapi backend, AWS tools.

Working in a GENERAL relational language (ie: not just a query one, like SQL, but general to make full apps, like python/delphi/c# + linq):

https://tablam.org

that is my attempt to resurrect the spirit of the FoxPro/dbase kind of tools.

Is on Rust, and is also my way to sharp my skills on it.

Now, I'm in the process of improve the parsing to be robust like in Rust, so i can show good error messages:

https://github.com/brendanzab/codespan

and also, hopefully, implement a solid type inference that work fine with the challenge of infer joins like "customer CROSS JOIN address".

---

The idea, long-term, is create a tool alike MS Access/FoxPro+Excel that I think could be great for a lot of companies (that are using stuff like "BigData" tools -like hadoop- when them are struggling with more fundamental issues!) and improve the condition of make business apps/analysis.

I already hear some interest when the vision is described in full, and I certain any company that use Excel/Access to deal with data and/or make business apps is anemically served by it.

The alternatives now are only for the cloud, and I instead wanna a local-first/on-premise offering...

I was thinking it would be nice to exercise in VR, but I would have to pick something aerobic I wouldn't mind doing blindfolded, which rules out a lot, but I think a row machine could work.

So I'm imagining a pacific-island-navigate-by-the-stars simulator, maybe speed up time so 8 hours of night become 30 minutes of cardio. Choose a couple of islands to row between, get some directions of which star to follow, and get to work.

Good news: some water simulation and a night sky are probably just a library include away, right?

Bad news: would have to do something fancy to nail the motion sync, I was thinking an arduino and some hall effects, really just need to capture the bookends of each rep and adjust the video to match your movement. I guess goggles already do position tracking but I think I would basically want to predict the snap when you change directions, as even a few ms lag will ruin the immersion.

Alas, I am merely a web developer without so much as a pair of goggles, but I think this will be a good starter project on account of not needing to create any assets. Godot looks very promising. If anyone else has VR-but-good-for-your-body ideas I'd love to hear them.

I'm working on a voice computing project to bring text-to-speech to new audiences.

I think it's totally under-utilised and an easy-to-use tool of generating voicegrams could be super-sharable and - more importantly - useful from a cognitive perspective.

I think that cognitive differences could be levelled using text-to-speech! And provide an alternative and measurable way of consuming quality content.

I'm working on a "Unity for everything else". If you build an IoT product, most anything consumer facing, tools for small business, etc, your customers will expect a multi-platform experience. They want an app on iOS and Android as well as a responsive website. This is currently a pain in the ass to build. You either end up with a very carefully made architecture to share code or build everything a bunch of times or some combination. Huge budget problem. I know, I've had to do it...

Currently looking for people who would want to collaborate on some of the open source pieces that are needed.

Short term I think the right place to start is to build an open source toolkit leveraging NextJS + React Native to create a single project for all platforms.

Long term imagine an IDE (VS Code Extension), hosting, backend ecosystem, marketplace for themes and plugins, a simple opinionated project structure for building things that run on web, iOS, and Android to start. Eventually probably Desktop too. Based all on open source tools to avoid vendor lock-in.

There are inefficiencies in the investment banking world where marketing materials and other pitch deck materials is too manual. We have highly compensated individuals perfecting PowerPoints but too many of the slide creation companies are not relevant for what bankers do. Would love to create something and have ideas on how to make it work but limited tech experience.

I just released a barebones MVP yesterday for a sports betting site with a little twist:

We give users a little bit of money each week to play with ($0.50 right now) and if they can run it up past a certain point we'll pay them out in cash. If they lose the money, we put another $0.50 in the next week. It's legal in the US since the users aren't allowed to deposit and mainly for entertainment purposes.

The plan is to make money through affiliate referrals if users want to bet with real cash.

I think sports betting is inherently social, so the end game is to create more of a social sports betting experience where you can invite friends and talk shit about their bets, have leaderboards and so on, so forth.

I'm a front-end dev / designer with some back-end chops but not great. I'd be down to chat with anyone who has a complementary skill set. Hit me up at will@pennywagers.com

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.

I've been interested in conversational bots and how they might be used for purposes that are more fun than customer service. I'm specifically interested in ideas that are silly, or emotionally salient, or weird, or anything that's not productive and not commercial.

I have been poking around with some stuff, but mostly just ideas in my head. So for "collaboration" I mostly imagine getting ideas from each other, trying each other's stuff out, all very low commitment. Like you know when you find someone who when you talk about ideas together and you both come away more excited than when you started? If there's any community where people do hang out like this that would be cool, though the tedious and tired commercial chatbot discussion seems to dominate.

Some thoughts I've had:

1. How do you make a really creepy bot? (Barring profanity, racism, etc) Sometimes people worry about creepy bots but I honestly am not sure how a bot would be creepy. Making one on purpose might be a way to find out

2. Bots are often very reactive without any will of their own. What kind of personality or (imagined) motivation might make a bot proactive? Would that solve some of the "I don't know what you mean" problem of a chatbot? Like instead of a bland response when the bot doesn't understand, it can instead push back on what it cares about.

3. In this vein I've thought about a depressed bot, and your job is to find a way to cheer it up.

4. User-programmable bots. I've been thinking about this in user-buildable VR worlds. The worlds are all so empty. Can we make it feasible for a person to create their own NPCs?

5. Can a bot be loving and supportive? If it's just a façade, how good of a façade is enough to generate emotional response?

6. How do mediums like text vs voice impact this stuff?

Well, it's not programming-related, but here goes...

I'm building a cooperative hands-on workspace in Brooklyn in an old warehouse. I have lots of interests that require space and tooling (old motorcycles/cars, woodworking, etc), and lots of friends in a similar boat (with fabrication, music, art, etc). I spent the last 6-8 months searching for a suitable space that I could actually afford, and finally found one about a month ago.

I'm in the process of gutting most of it (it's in gnarly condition) and rebuilding it to suit what I'm trying to do. If there's anyone here who lives in NYC, is good with their hands or wants to be, and is intrigued by the idea of getting a bunch of highly motivated and creative people together in one spot to build Cool Shit (whatever that may look like), feel free to get in touch.

My email is in my bio :)

How crazy would it be to create an alternative to Locast, but using P2P tech to stream volunteer antenna video data? I was thinking to encode it in mpeg4/HLS and use webtorrent to distribute the stream -- that way a non-profit org could reasonably set it up and not have to charge money for bandwidth costs.

I'm down to help out on anything.

I am a self-taught software engineer since 2016, prior to that I was a supply chain optimization consultant. Currently employed as a senior software engineer.

My experience (* means strong):

- full stack development (mobile/browser UI, backend). Experience includes nodeJS*, Go, React*/Angular, Flutter*/React-Native/Swift, AWS/DO/GCP

- bunch of side projects where I've taught myself design (and tools like Figma*), product management (books mostly), and have notion* documents for my projects. currently working on an app to alleviate loneliness.

My goal is to launch my own company some day, but nobody in my family or close friends is an entrepreneur or entrepreneur minded. I am trying to find some friends in this circle.

Please hit me up if I sound like a good fit, I am willing to grok on any brainstorming sessions or join you to work on something interesting.*

Building virtual neuroscience software over here https://www.virtualbrainlab.org/

I think with so much hybrid learning and remote teaching going on there's an opportunity for STEM education to become more equitable. Right now to learn about neuroscience you have to go to a university, pay hefty tuition fees, and even then access to really cutting edge technology is blocked by the high cost of research tools. There's nothing stopping us from building virtual versions of this same content.

My vision is that these are used as complements to low-cost in-person lab experiences, so maybe in a class people learn about neurons using a backyard brains setup and then they learn about the really cutting edge expensive tools using this virtual environment.

My 4-year old project Video Hub App is MIT open source charityware desktop application (TypeScript, Angular, Node, Electron) and I'm happy to have people contribute PRs. I'm unsure what a "collaboration" would look like, but perhaps there are some who would like to assist, rather than take a lot of responsibility. I'm thankful and thrilled for whatever you're up for.

My project for the year is adding facial recognition (I have a branch in PR that is 30% of the way finished with the feature already).

I'd be interested in building a listening comprehension tool for foreign language learners. I'm thinking having a slider for vocab (top 1000 words, top 2000 words, etc) and a slider for speed of speech plus an adjustable timer for how long the user has to understand the sentence.

Currently developing a distributed transcoder-as-a-service to compete with the likes of AWS's Elastic Transcoder and Google's Transcoder API. By my math, I can transcode the same file in half the time and at 1/20 or so of the cost of those guys.

Hoping to get into this summer's YC and looking for one or two co-founders.

I am mostly a business/marketing guy who can hold his own in devops/backend, but no where near professional.

Looking for at least a backend co-founder who knows GO (ideally K8s, containers, and CI/CD, as well).

A talented frontend co-founder would always make things a lot easier, as well.

I am currently working on this ~10 hours a day in preparation for the Summer YC class. If anybody is looking for a project with some potential, hit me up!

If anyone here happens to like both C (C99) and raytracing, I've been working on c-ray[1] for a while now. It's your average pathtracer, but has some nice features such as clustered network rendering, a really fast BVH and an up-and-coming node-based material system. Scene descriptions are expressed as JSON. I'm looking into building a Blender plugin to be able to use it from there. Coding style is what I prefer - code should be dumb and simple, using nothing more than basic control flow, structs and functions. C suits this goal very nicely.

I'm not sure if this is the best thread, but I'm potentially looking for a partner. I'm the founder of https://bigpicture.io/. The primary product is company data and IP data as a service via API.

I'm debating what to do with the company. I've only raised a small angel round, and the company is profitable. A competitor reached out to me about an acquisition a couple weeks ago, so I'm debating that vs raising money vs continuing to bootstrap.

I'm an engineer, but I have a decent amount of business experience. So I'm open to partnering with someone technical or business focused.

Thanks for the initiative. Very useful.

I am developing https://www.interviewblindspots.com/

It is crowd sourced feedback on your interview performance, targeted at software engineers. I am very bad at frontend technologies and could use some help on that front. I frequently get stuck on frontend (CSS). I need someone to consult with and unblock me. My immediate next steps will be to hire a designed to make the looks good, but I will need a frontend engineer to help me implement the recommendations.

I am also working on a blog search engine. I could use some frontend mentoring for that also.

I'm working on https://rinse.one which is basically a simple text box you enter common queries/commands and get answers. I have many ideas but not enough time on my own. For example, next thing I have planned is to make the commands composable.

I mostly work on the backend. I would like to collaborate with someone who does the frontend (but backend collaborators are welcome too). I like keeping things simple. The whole thing (code and infrastructure) is open source - check out the "about" and "commands" links from the main site.

I'm looking to support any climate-tech projects. I'm a mobile dev but can pick up any language / framework / tool. Particularly interested in ReFi and the intersection between web3 and climate.

I'm working with the OpenAir collective (https://openaircollective.cc) on open source DIY-friendly carbon capture machines. We've made some strides lately, but we need more hacker types to advance our research initiatives.

There are a variety of projects to work on, but I'm specifically interested in the electrolysis of CO2. I could really use help from anyone with a chemistry background or access to lab!

If you're interested, please reach out to me via my email or hit me up on the OpenAir discord.

A couple of FOSS enthusiasts and myself have taken over the decade old game controller remapping tool DS4Windows (https://github.com/CircumSpector/DS4Windows) with the goal to rewrite major parts using latest dotnet patterns and technologies. There's still months worth of work left but despite being an ambitious task, it's quite doable and fun figuring out your way around someone else's massive code base. Join us if you like!

I'm building a open source Raylib's binding for Elixir, to be the base of 2D/3D games in elixir (yes, I know that elixir is not the best language for that, but its something that would be cool to do with Erlang's VM regardless)

Link: https://github.com/shiryel/rayex

The project's architecture is already ready to use, it just needs more functions implemented from Raylib and I need to figure out how to make it work on MacOS (see issue #7)

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

I'm interested in collabs on the make-inspired build system I'm working on, macrome. Repo is here: https://github.com/conartist6/macrome

My goals are:

- Restore the ability to use git repos as packages to the frontend ecosystem

- Simplify tooling needs by encouraging devs to check in a readable version of their product compiled down to standard javascript

- Provide the first interoperable way to package components, even those with styles

- Make it all Just Work as long as you run `macrome watch`

I'm the designer of Par2, employee #7 of a successful startup (Broadway Technology LLC), a former Wall Street quant, and winner of two research grants.

I'm looking at starting a company/public-benefit-corporation/non-profit to support formal math. The Lean prover (similar to Coq) is gaining traction, but academics and large corporations are not always good at innovation. There are multiple potential products to consider creating. Near-term plans are to pick one and apply to "America's Seed Fund" (SBIR) for initial funding. Will also consider angel funding and, obviously, applying to Y Combinator.

I'm looking for someone else who wants to join me and can fund themselves for 6 to 9 months, until initial funding arrives. Ideally, someone experienced in formal math and with startups. But I'm open to anyone who is passionately interested in math and has significant skills to bring to the table. Skills include: running an early startup, running scalable online systems, growing an online community, grant writing, and ... a lot more than I can list, but those are the big ones. I'm based in Austin but am willing to move to work together.

I am building a site to analyze my investment portfolio - run risk models, evaluate payoff scenarios, and even suggest options trades.

I have been doing a lot of options trading in the past few years, and needed better tools to analyze complicated options positions, so I started with payoff calculator for a set of options (both at expiry, as well as at intermediate times using Black-Scholes). Here's an example: https://tinyurl.com/pa-example

And now I am building other stuff to analyzing your whole portfolio, and to suggest options trades that will lead to a better payoff profile (as per your customizable utility function, eg: you might weigh losses exponentially and profits logarithmically beyond a threshold).

This is a side project; I have a day job and a family, so I get about 4-5 hours a week to work on this. I have been building this in Rails.

I have don't have any current plans of making this a real business. It's fun and useful to me, and I want to keep it that way, but I am open to launching it as a freemium/paid site in the future if others find it useful.

An ideal collaborator would be someone who is good at Javascript and web UI; but most importantly, our goals should match. If you are that person, email me at admin@portfolioanalytics.org (or reply to this comment with yours)

I just want to put myself out there if anyone thinks they’d have the time to bring me on board. I’m an IT dude trying to jump to software. I have some knowledge in Java and Python (spring and Django) and I’d love to just participate in anything to be honest. However, I’d probably not hit the ground running and I’d need a bit of a walkthrough. I know this doesn’t sound too useful to anyone but if you just need someone to grow with you let me know, I’m down to grind as much as I need to.

I made a web application generation tool built on top of AWS. It deploys all the basics you need for a web application in the modern era (db, ui, api, users, groups, roles).

I'm building a percussion PWA at https://github.com/infojunkie/drumkit. The main idea is to create a simple mobile-based app that can be used in live jamming situations (eg by plugging the mobile audio jack into a mixer). It's working well but I need help on the UX / graphics / branding side, so I would appreciate to hear from app designers. Thanks!

I'm trying to reliably/systematically establish passive income so I can work on more ambitious ideas.

I'd like to meet a "validator" to complement my rapid product dev skills. (I'm surprised this kind of pairing structure doesn't come up more often—I see it kinda like 'generator'/'discriminator' pairs in GANs. Seems like the ideal duo-form to systematically discover excellent PMF.)

I have several projects in the works, that to my knowledge could each be seriously profitable—though my certainty around their potential profitability scales inversely with how profitable each may be.

E.g. the one I'm most certain will be profitable will of course not be any kind of unicorn—more something that could provide comfortable passive income, and it's basically ready for open beta: https://diskatlas.com/

I did a fair bit of market research with that one, but the others are a bit more 'intuitive'. I would love to find someone who I get along well with on a personal level who has some real chops/experience (or smarts/drive) in the realm of validating product ideas, collecting user feedback to make revisions to ideas or refine usability, doing market research, maybe generating/implementing marketing/advertising ideas, possibly taking care of other business-ey things(??).

Shoot me a message on twitter, or you can find my contact info on symbolflux.com. I'm a 36yr old male, worked in startups in SF and Cambridge, do independent contracts now living in the southwest (US).

I’m interested in collaborating with a small team of other software engineers on a project. I have 6 years of experience and currently fulfill a senior role at a startup. I know python, Go, node.js, vue, and I can handle most dev ops tasks.

I want to build something a small project app with like-minded people.

I have some ideas of my own, but if I am honest I think joining a small team and then picking the idea we pursue afterwards would net the best results.

Hit me up here and we can chat more.

I would like to code some Go. It’s been a while since my role now is way too far from the code

So if anyone has an idea that want to develop or a project in Go already let me know.

This is a cool idea. Thank you to post your imaginative idea!

Recently there was a post reminding people about the excellent "polling" feature on HN. Suddenly there were a bunch of polls with great discussions that followed. It would be helpful if this page (https://news.ycombinator.com/submit) included tips about how to create a poll.

I'm writing a FHIR server in NodeJS. The currently widely used FHIR server is a JAVA based monolith called HAPI FHIR.

I haven't seen many alternatives to FHIR server other than HAPI FHIR. It's a super challenging project and I'm not even sure I can pull it off.

Do you have a bunch of unused cables tangled in a box? Hanging in a closet? STREWN ACROSS THE GUEST BED?

Do you find yourself purchasing a new tool or toy only to discover you need yet another USB cable to power it or one with a proper transfer speed for your setup? Or did your old tool or toy break leaving you with some bizarre proprietary(?) cable that you'll probably never have use for again?

Well I want to make a website where people can: 1) Inventory 2) Share 3) Identify all their unused cables. Why keep buying new cables and contributing to waste? Why keep storing a bunch of cables we don't use instead of giving them to people who can put them to use? And what the hell is this connector I founded tangled up with my XLR and DVI-D cable?

If someone wants to collab I think I've already got a killer name. Just haven't decided a TLD. My stack preference would be a backend using Haskell, Erlang, Elixir or Clojure. Frontend would NOT be an SPA, but I'm imagining some custom components (like a connector identifier and maybe a tabular inventory view) that I would lean towards using Elm for.

Would love support / collab on an open source project I'm running, Iconduck (https://iconduck.com/).

I'm actually working right now with someone from the HN community to build a Figma plugin, as well as someone else who's doing research.

Anyone who finds open source icons and illustrations interesting, would love your help :)

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.

This is more of a personal thing. I am creating better maps for DnD (Dungeons and Dragons). My goal is a google maps so that DMs and players will always have a map no matter where they go. I currently have some software in the works that can automatically turn a 2d map into a 3d rendering. Mostly looking for 3d design, map designer, and procedural generation skills.

I have too many ideas for side projects I want to do. I'd love to partner (or find a mentor!) so we can focus on a single thing and see how far we can take it.

One idea: any two pieces of code should be able to communicate regardless of the languages they are written in and the transport between them. It's incredibly wasteful to keep writing client libraries and bindings from scratch every time. I think this can be solved with a low-level IDL, a thin layer on top of UNIX-style byte streams.

I have a Bachelor's degree in CS. Professionally I worked on a TypeScript frontend, a TypeScript backend, and working on a Rust backend now, around three years total. I know other languages (and the project is obviously language-agnostic). I'm a big fan of interoperability.

You can find me by `kinrany` on most platforms. Feel free to contact me even if this particular thing doesn't sound interesting, and you have something else in mind instead.

I'm working on www.ghostly.kitchen; An operations forecasting platform which predicts sales & production demand then generates recommended solutions for foodservice operators.

The approach is to depart from client-side ERPs UX & simplify the (data) analysis process. The goal is to reduce decision fatigue / information overload in the operator's day-to-day ops.

I launched two foodservice companies in the past and have experienced this issue firsthand. It takes up substantial resources to maximize efficiency.

Working on the MVP & signed two pilots in SF. Target markets are cloud kitchens, catering/causal foodservice companies. My background is in sales/bizdev/ops, happy to discuss my background in detail.

If you're an experienced developer looking for a cofounder position in the saas/sustainability/ML space - please reach out to mo at ghostly dot kitchen Otherwise, still reach out. I'm excited to share this project

I'm working on Swymm.org, an interactive, crowdsourced timeline of all history. I would love to find a collaborator who sees the potential and can help out with software development. Check out the proof of concept at beta.swymm.org. If you're interested, please get in touch with me at t3db0t (that's a zero) [at] gmail!

I would like to try something novel (and not really art based) with NFTs. Ideally using Cardano and/or Ethereum (basically want Ethereum since it's the most authoritative source, but want something green/low cost, maybe L2). If anyone knows much about the blockchain and wants to try something out, email me.

Anyone interested in fixing news, and doing it with Web3?

We build an open source and non profit news organization that's a combination of Wikipedia and Genius. The goal is to be a destination that people can trust to provide more than one side of a story and separate opinion from fact. It scrapes news, has an AI that organizes topics, human editors to make sure things are organized properly. It surfaces articles and videos that are meaningful contributors to the topic based on heuristics and editors. We markup biases of authors. Show when articles are making claims that lack evidence. Build a fact checking regime that is open and obvious. We don't do all the news, just pick a few hot topics each day, like Digg.

It has a website, mobile app, probably a podcast.

I imagine the non profit has a sister DAO where good contributors are rewarded with a new token we create. Use NFT's for badges. Various other options.

I run https://extracttable.com - an API to extract tabular data from images & tables. To keep it simple call it image to excel conversion service. I fully built and managing the service. I'm looking for a SEO person and a B2B marketing person.

Distributed software, which accesses and depends on remote resources, is harder to run than local-only software. I'm working on making it easier to run distributed software for both programmers and end-users.

See the main article describing my current vision: http://catern.com/integration.html

My most significant project in this area: https://github.com/catern/rsyscall

My website in general: http://catern.com/ (happy to collaborate on anything on there)

And my current plans: http://catern.com/plan.html

If you're interested, feel free to contact me using the information on my website.

I'm working solo on https://flat.social - a fun videoconferencing app for remote teams to organise social events.

I'd be very happy to schedule a couple hours for some conceptual collaboration and to catch up with other makers to see if we can help each other in any way. I'm thinking occasional brainstorming, feedback sessions and exchange of advice coming from different domains of expertise. You can pick my brain in anything that's related to your project and vice versa.

My background is technical so I'd be mostly looking to speak with people who come from business, marketing and design side of things.

If you happen be interested, you can find my details and email in the profile or on my website https://pawel.io, feel free to drop me a message :)

I've been working on three projects, from short term to long term:

1. Visual synthesizer to synch with popular music to share and jam

2. Wearable thought recorder to predict your future intent (on hold)

3. Anonymous Collaboration to sort 10^12 intents for 10^9 users

The first is pretty far along. I used to VJ semi-pro on a Wacom tablet and then ported it to the iPad (which Apple deprecated when they moved to 64-bit only). Have rewritten in Swift, and in process of redoing the menuing system in SwiftUI. Kids love it and is a subversive way of leaning STEM concepts through play. Demo of the Wacom tablet version (2005) is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXlkzZubHnM&t=9s

The second is an Apple Watch centric app that I spent a couple years on. Just raise your wrist to record your thoughts. I released a subset of the idea in the AppStore, but didn't market it. Spent a few more months on updating the design but is now on hold. Old version here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/muse-now/id1323143774?ls=1

The third is kinda hard. I spoke at the RSA Data Security conference (1998) on how to share interests without a trusted third party. The idea is to combine some homomorphic blinding to sort intent(s) through a massively parallel graph. It's kinda weird because the graph is an asynchronous cellular automaton. I'm not even sure if it is plausible. It's more of a lossy switching network than a static ledger. Somewhat inspired by the work of Goldreich, Micali, Widgerson: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=Goldreich,+Micali,+Wigd...

I would love to collaborate on stock trading algorithms. I love the inherent beauty in a well designed trading algorithm and the output is like generative art. I have excellent leetcode skills (have spent significant time grinding as a hobby) am a crack mathematician in addition. And I like making money of course.

I'm looking for an artist to help me create bitmaps/art/ideas for a small handheld/desktop device (currently using m5stack core2, it has a screen + various sensors, mic, speaker). I am wanting to make small games/experiences that happen on your desk. Think tamagotchi but bigger.

If you like the game Teardown, and wish it had multiplayer support, I am building a server-based multiplayer mod for it. It's written in C# (client) and Golang (server) and using Nakama as an open-source game server. Just working on this in my free time, wouldn't mind an extra hand!

Discord alexandargyurov#1220

I'm a web developer and I'm currently writing a book about game development in the web. The book is still a work in progress (it likely will never be "complete"), but it's quite usable and soon I'll be able to demonstrate small games with the currently existing chapters. The link is here:

https://suldashi.github.io/gamebook/

I'm looking for someone to try it out, give some feedback, and possibly even write a game by following along the instructions. The target reader is a somewhat experienced programmer (such as a close-to-graduation CS student) who won't need to be told what's a function or class, but you don't need to know anything about game development to make use of the book.

My name is Naren Keshav. I’ve built a product & built the legal structure for the company. It is a Canadian Incorporated startup. The product is iOS application with potential for scale & ride the next s-curve. On the face value, it is an augmented reality product.

## About me

I’m passionate in what I do. With Master’s in Computer Video Games, I’ve worked in domains that would use three-dimensional geometry such AR, VR, Intel RealSense etc.

| Company Webpage | https://www.mani.ai/ | | --- | --- | | Social Proof | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27365797 | | On our future | https://narenkeshav.com/essays/mani-future | | Personal Webpage | https://narenkeshav.com/ | | More about me | https://narenkeshav.com/about |

Moving forward, the company would need a two-pronged approach. The company requires a technical & business-oriented team.

### Business oriented

Person who is passionate with a new product introduction & figure GTM strategy with the understanding of technical roadmap of the product.

### Technical oriented

The product uses live sensors, camera & GPS to provide the value. Currently, it is built on top of Unity game engine. Person who is passionate with machine learning on mobile is preferred.

### Investment

So far, I have deferred investment to have a solid product, product messaging & a team. Once the initial team is in place, with the team - we will have to build a roadmap & subsequently a pitch deck. I have built channel(s) to have us introduced to VC’s.

### Finally

I am also looking for people who might be interested in working on this product & in-turn with the company. This is a startup & I find responsible to set a direction. It does not mean that I am right. The team always wins. I would love to find a mentor/advisor with B2C experience. If you know anyone who might be interested, please share my email address nkeshav@mani.team

Let’s build the future.

Here are some things I have built in the past that I would be open to collaborate on:

ScreenBud.com: Chrome extension to taking and annotating screenshots.

- Example (best viewed on desktop) https://screenbud.com/s/8c0HkzGxZDv

- Basic stats: Tens of thousands of uniques per month.

- Internals: Rust on backend, TypeScript+Svelte on frontend

- Potential for colab

   - Open sourcing some Rust libraries (e.g. auth)

   - New features (video support, payment subscriptions)

WordBueno.com: dictionary without clutter.

- Example: https://wordbueno.com/word/hello

- Basic stats: Tens of thousands of uniques per month.

- Internals: Rust on backend, TypeScript+Svelte on frontend

- Potential for colab:

   - Better data

   - Nicer frontend

I am a computational biologists working with a group of colleagues to build an open-source community that hosts APIs for essential bioinformatics algorithms. We believe the progress in science could be accelerated, if tools like alphafold would not require 3 days of set-up to get working on your local compute infrastructure. Instead community members would host their algo and charge a small fee / token-tip to keep the API running. We are currently starting to build a community around it and would love to hear from folks with interest in bio-compute, docker, solidity, terraform and general frontend tasks.

Head over to labdao.com or join our discord here: https://discord.gg/labdao

I am learning smart contracts (Solidity)

I'll probably write a few fun "not for profit" games that run on test networks once I have finished my course (so players can grab free tokens from a faucet, then play in the game, no real money at stake).

I am interested in games that can kind of run a bit off chain (I've seen a chess example online that is quite clever in how it avoids the chain until it needs to). I have an idea of an adapted texas-holdem poker game.

I also want to look into how NFTs can be done without needing these big central market places.

Could work together on something, or just keep in touch an encourage each other, ask each other questions etc.

Mainly would want to communicate async via whatever you use, or email. I might be "slow" in the number of hours a week I spend so bear with me!

Contact info in profile.

I’m building a blockchain based game where the goal is to predict statistics about user provided information at the end of each round.

Should a play win a round, they’ll receive a small percentage of their overall prize, the remainder going into escrow.

That escrowed amount will be rewarded to them in the future if they continue to provide truthful/consistent answers to questions that are used as basis for building the “winning bingo card”

I'm working on Nap[1], a fast, file-based framework for defining and running HTTP integration tests via the CLI.

The ultimate goal is to embed Nap into the SDLC--tests that are defined during development and then run during CI/CD. I'm closing in on a V1 release of the CLI tool, at which point I'll be looking to start expanding on the feature-set and add a UI.

I could use contributors who are comfortable building something Postman-esque as e.g. a VSCode plugin that could take advantage of the file-based nature of my project and make it more approachable for the masses.

I'd love to build new monetization streams for musicians/artists... something akin to Brave Attention Token, Podcasting 2.0 Protocol(streaming payments over Lightning Network), and Substack.

I'm a front-end dev and very into product management.

My wife and I are (slowly) building an ios app to track daily family memories (impetus was having our son in 2019). We got this idea from an article long ago where the author used a spreadsheet to capture small notes of daily family life and especially note any child milestones. The app is close to being usable daily (each parent can add a note, separate field for milestone, edit, and list recent days) but it's ugly as sin. It's written in swift/swiftui with a go backend (also an older react web version exists if anyone was interested working on that). Totally chill project with no expectation of commercial viability

I have an open source mtg boardstate engine I’ve been building that I would love to collaborate on with other mtg players. It’s written in Go, vue, and backed by Postgres. Hit me up at my email if you’re interested in helping contribute.

Hey

For now we have a recession in real estate in tourist locations due to the covid. There are also signs of restrictions will be declined shortly. Predictions by sustainability experts, consulting companies and statements of World Health Organization are among that signs.

So it becomes evident that it is a good time to establish real estate fund to operate assets around the world, mainly in tourist locations. For now, ICO and concept of token-as-a-share seems very reasonable. Team already consist of experienced developer and real estate professional. If you blockchain engineer or PR professional, will be glad to invite you to the team!

turtleSpaces is a Logo-based 3D game engine written in Go. It has desktop and WebAssembly builds, and a Javascript-based IDE. My partner and I currently work on it. It is becoming usable.

We want to make it a better (less-toxic) Roblox, with kids making games and stuff for other kids. We need people to do documentation, make tutorials and help build up our library of example programs.

If anyone familiar with Go is interested, they could help with our codebase, and we could use a Javascript / CSS wizard to help make our front-end more responsive.

TL;DR--an automatic xkcd recommendation bot. [1]

"Relevant xkcd" is a meme that's been a part of online communities for as long as the comic has had online notoriety. [2] I wanted to build a bot to see how true that was. I've got a lot of the hard parts completed (data collection / curation, initial models), sitting in my TODO box for quite some time and would love to pair up with a collaborator to get it across the finish line.

The idea is an automatic xkcd recommendation bot that takes advantage of the latest and greatest in NLP advances (a fine-tuned hugging face model). [3] I've already got the training data (reddit comments that mention "relevant xkcd") and each individual xkcd's notes from the xkcd wiki. [4, 5]

I do research in programming languages, compilers, and program analysis for a living. I’ve got some ideas outside the day job in the same area I’m looking for collaborators on:

1. I am interested in exploring program synthesis techniques tailored for people who don’t want to go deep in learning PL theory or tooling. I am specifically interested in this related to some modeling and simulation projects I work on.

2. I have an old program refinement system I created a few years ago based on an ML derivative that I wouldn’t mind getting some feedback on.

More broadly, I’m happy to chat with people interested in PL ideas. Email in profile.

This is a great thread! I'm wondering if creating an ideas-people matchmaking site for it makes sense- it could be a collection of ideas along with their stage of development (idea only, prototype ready, production ready, etc) and a similar collection of skills/people who are willing to/interested in projects. All opensource/free of course.

I'll be up for putting this together if someone wants in on this. I'm a generalist with mastery/expertise in [python, go, nosql dbs, aiml, bigdata] have product and business experience as well.

I am looking for someone to collaborate on with https://teslatracker.com/ I need to scrape inventory and charge users and if a dev can handle the engineering i would offer rev share. I would do all sales / marketing / sign up paid users. I would like it if someone was in the USA so we can hop on a call to discuss feature. East coast would be even better since i am in NYC. Thank you. please reach out if you are an engineer and interested contact (at) teslatracker.com

Open Source Blockchain music registration & Royalties: I'm a fullstack dev working on a blockchain project (eth/polygon) for music registration and royalties on chain. Would love to work with anyone with web3 backend(solidity) / frontend(react) experience, that is passionate about disrupting the music industry - for now it will just be a big open source permissionless project. But it could end up being a nice startup with many hooks to use for profit on top: from distribution to integrations - it's a blue ocean. (email in my profile)

I'm a junior full-stack developer with a nine to five career in an IT role that is not development, but is too good to give up. I would love to work with more senior developers on ideas where I can be productive on a useful project, with the guidance to keep me headed in the right direction.

I have many years of experience dabbling in everything from C and C++ to Java, PHP, Ruby, Python, C#, and everything in between. Currently I have been finding joy in working with Python, Django, DRF, and Vue.js... I am always ready to learn new things. Reach out! codectc @ gmail

I'm interested. I lead software equity research at a global investment bank. Research work spans company-specific research, thematic research, and work related to IPO's and other advisory projects where appropriate from a regulatory perspective. Skills for this include relationship management, marketing, writing, modeling, etc. Also lots of networking.

I self-taught programming back in my teens and studied some CS in college, but my academic background is in physics/math. I'm presently self-teaching the mathematical backgrounds of machine learning.

I recently bit the bullet and started building my first SaaS. It’s an ordering tool for restaurants I am building with Django + HTMX.

If I order out I usually phone the place directly because delivery app markup (plus delivery fees) are ridiculous where I live. Then I pickup. But I’m really not into phone conversations, for reasons.

There’s already established products but I feel there’s space in the market where I’m at. At the moment I’m doing market research (talking to local restaurant owners) and designing the user journeys.

Reach out username at gmail if you’re interested in chatting about it.

Analysts and consultants who use excel frequently are poorly served. Valuable time is lost in pivot tables, filtering/refreshing data, and formatting slides.

We recently launched http://plot-ai.com to tackle this problem. It is a no-code excel add-in for data analysis, visualization and publishing (slides/web).

We have pilots going on and a lot of interest from folks in data science, consulting, strategy, finance, BI.

If this excites you as an end user or a developer I would love to chat. Ping me - anup@plot-ai.com

I'm a former software engineer (way former, like 20 years ago) and current tax attorney -- call myself a "tax technologist." Looking to work on any projects at the intersection of the two.

I've been working on a project for deduplicating version control written in Go https://github.com/akbarnes/dupver I've been a bit frustrated with existing binary version control systems which I've found to be either too centralized, not cross-platform. Right now I'm looking at ways to add special handling for compressed archive files which tend to not deduplicate well. Check out the repo if you're interested.

I'm interested in collaborating with someone for my side project https://chessmadra.com . There's no money in it, as I haven't monetized it and don't plan to, but if you're interested in chess, have ideas for training tools, have some design skills, any of the above, let me know, would love to collaborate. Also open to a mentoring sort of thing, if anyone wants to get some exp w/ React or Rust, as that's what it's built in.

Who is interested in javascript online editor https://playcode.io/online-javascript-editor (playground)?

I have been working on it for 5 years, but it turned out to be impossible to make a startup alone, competitors such as CodeSandbox, StackBlitz, Glitch bypassed me with larger resources, So I am looking for: - a partner / partners of a javascript developer with a strong desire to make a startup. - Investments.

I'm working on http://www.adama-lang.org/ which started as a programming language for board games, and it is turning into a reactive privacy-focused data store for Jamstack.

I hope to launch in coming month an "Early Access" edition.

While I do intend to turn this into a business, I'm primarily focusing on small projects to amuse myself. I'm going to break every rule in the business with my LLC. The #1 company value is sleep.

I am a developer who wants to build the lichess equivalent for Scrabble and other crossword board games. We currently have a pretty cool AGPL-licensed app over at https://woogles.io but require help to add more to our app (automatic tournaments, puzzles, better analyzer, the list is large).

We have over 1M games played so far and hosted the World Scrabble Championship last year. If you like coding and/or Scrabble please let me know.

I'm a programmer at heart, and by day career, and yet... I'm now trying to help fight what I believe are the world's top two biggest threats or future risks: democracy collapse, and climate collapse. They are strongly inter-connected.

Therefore we're building an interactive software simulation about democracy and propaganda. With the goal of impacting voters, citizens, students, and key decision-makers, as well as providing an additional research tool for scholars.

You provide (any or all of):

-- cash (early/angel; via donations, grants or easy equity terms; anything from $5k to $5M would be signif and appreciated, in terms of concrete impact on our runway and speed/bandwidth; keep in mind that in this space we have ultra-hard external deadlines both in terms of scheduled elections, and ecosystem/agriculural collapse)

-- connections, introductions, promotion (to your following, eyeball feeds, etc.)

-- additional expertise or credibility related to history, psychology, politics/PolySci, foreign affairs or education

-- user/audience impact validation testing

-- QA testing

-- localization/i18n

We provide:

-- gratitude

-- name credits & references

-- as we have budget: paying work on tasks needed, and, potential for early employees

-- equity shares for potential key early partners

We can provide a more detailed pitch document and a preview look, or live demo w/Q&A, of our working prototype software.

If you're fine with waking up one morning to find yourself living in the kind of nighmarish world depicted in the Mad Max or Idiocracy movies, then please... feel free to keep living your normal everyday lives.

If however you want a better future, or at least if you want to be able to look in the mirror and know you've tried your best to achieve it. Or you dont want to ever be forced to explain to your children or grandchildren why your generation -- and why you personally -- left them such a dystopian shithole, then consider perhaps giving us a ping today.

Anyone into cryonics? I think there's an interesting angle making it more accessible which could have positive downstream effects (e.g. 1) increased funding for research into cognitive uploading, 2) potentially decreased healthcare costs if people use the service before the tremendously expensive last 5-10 years of life) beyond the obvious of potentially being able to advance tech that would be a step towards radical life extension or perhaps enabling interplanetary travel.

Hi, I’m a product designer and back in 2016 I came up with a concept for an AR/VR keyboard for one of my classes https://imgur.com/gallery/TomSq. Granted, the idea, including its description on imgur, are unrefined but even years later I think the concept, or at least some version of it, has got some potential. Let me know if it catches your fancy or if you have any feedback.

I work on tools to help companies/people keep track of their carbon emissions as open and transparent as possible.

Anyone know anything about getting a hardware product to market and interesting in working together?

I’ve got an idea for a new kind of power outlet.

Edit: my email is in my profile if you want to get in touch.

I have been mulling over the idea of starting a project that reads ONNX files and performs a codegen on the model, building model inference code directly that doesn't rely upon an ONNX runtime. In my experience, hooking up a runtime requires a lot of effort, and inference is often fairly latent. I'm wondering if it's feasible to generate code offline from an .onnx model then compile the generated code directly into whatever project is using it.

I’m creating a set of hands-on learning activities for high school students that use the Donkey Car (donkeycar.com) AI self-driving platform. Each hands-on activity teaches a lesson about engineering or machine learning. This is a not for profit collaboration with a group of college & high school students.

Please reach out if you have experience with Keras/Tensorflow and can help explain fundamental behavioral cloning concepts at a beginner/ high school level.

Do you want to collaborate in the Digital Musical Instrument space, designing open source real life products from the bottom up?

Thanks!

I'm making a pretty interesting digital graffiti web app and I'd love some help. I'm proficient with django, and I'm learning some computer vision stuff on the side to supplement the project. I've fleshed it out, but honestly I need some help with the operations and planning.

If you're interested I can hop into a google meet just about any time this week. Leave a comment and I'll email you in like 40 minutes.

Despite the 'growth' of the web and its related professions, I feel like a lot of it has neither good UX or interesting design. I've been out of front end for years now, but don't feel inspired to put it mildly.. my plan is to separate these interest:

* build interesting graphical web styles / experiments, pushing the envelope

* build a living UX guide founded in research (like an up to date wiki);

I'm building pagespace.app, a platform to create, publish and sell longer form HTML-based content. The vision is a cross between Substack and Github for longer form content. I mention Github because much like code, good content and knowledge should improve and change over time and have lots of "commits".

Tech stack is Elixir, Vue 3, Prosemirror/TipTap. Looking for coders and writers.

I'm a Godot game developer looking to join an otherwise complete development team.

I usually enjoy working on my own projects, but I'm more qualified to write code than create artwork, write stories, compose music, and all those other things that make a game whole.

If you've got a team who is ready to start building a game, feel free to reply here and tell me about it. :)

Very passionate about the NFT space and have a couple ideas I'd like to build out and validate. Generally: - Diving deeper into ERC-1155s and exploring deeper "membership" or "pass-like" utility for web3 companies to leverage - Verticalized marketplaces - NFT studio model for certain celebrity personas I'm friends with

I am making a C# (net6) game engine. Features very similar to unity ecs, and that works.

I'm looking for someone who wants to help me build a SaaS project that involves kubernetes and gitops. Need a web developer who can create Frontends, dashboards, add authentication and authorization. No investment needs to be made since everything will be based on oss and i pay for the infrastructure.

I want to explore the idea of P2P/Web3 Uber/Doordash clone where the site and operations cost is decentralized and everyone benefits from the platform while taking very low percentage profits.

I'm still learning web3/p2p to leverage this but I feel it's an interesting idea to iterate.

I've been working on a multiplayer game framework (https://github.com/hathora/hathora) and would love to collaborate with anyone who wants to make building multiplayer games easier!

I've started working on a couple side projects that I would love to find some collaborators for.

1 is a broadcasting app for smart speakers (alexa, google home, etc).

The other is a tool for newsletters and publications for tracking attribution and links.

happy to chat about these further if anyone is interested. email is in my profile.

I'm with a friend and we're focusing on building cool SaaS projects as a way to improve our product building skills and possibly make some money.

I would like to figure out if it's possible to do DNA sequencing at home. Like detect Covid virus or other viruses. The idea is to get a nanopore MinION, and some library kits, flow cells, learn how to extract DNA and a computer. I know how it all works.

Not super tech focused at the moment, but I'm trying to start a surf community in the bay area. Main reason is that sometimes it can be tough to find a ride share to the beach and also to share surf conditions at diff. places (cameras are pretty limited)

I'm building something probably best described as a Dropbox competitor but with a p2p twist.

No blockchains or tokens, just performant code, no-non-sense offering with a SAAS style (optional) subscription.

Currently at the proof-of-concept stage. One-person outfit so far.

I'm considering to set up a company to design vaccines and immunotherapies which are more efficient. The idea is that current vaccine vectors are great, but choice of antigens and adjuvants is too simplistic. It'd be a complement to Moderna, and all other market incumbents like GSK or Sanofi.

Currently based in Cambridge but, paradoxically, having trouble to find good partners. I have previously worked in Oxford and developed methods which are used and cited by other patents in the field. I also have generated some validation data in vivo. All these things should greatly facilitate raising VC.

I'm looking for very ambitious CS, statistics and bio backgrounds to work with me as cofounders. Contact details on profile. The company doesn't need to be based in the UK.

Peptide vaccines are different from mRNA vaccines, but they share some aspects, notably the (very) low cost, ability to be designed and tailored to a specific target. They exist since a long time, but they are not very efficient, so they never went mainstream [0].

I wrote my own suite of software to design such vaccines [1]. I wonder if someone have some comment or suggestion.

Thanks! (my email is in my profile)

anyone interested in the pdf -> word doc space?

I have a project that I've been noodling around for many years, never really making much progress (life is eventful, eh?) What I really need is your attention. I tend to lose motivation if I'm working in a vacuum. Please let me know you find this interesting or even inspiring.

I want to make large flying buildings.

- Large: several kilometers or even larger.

- Flying: they spend most or all of the time in the air.

- Buildings: containing people and infrastructure.

How do we make them? There are two areas to address:

- The methods of manufacturing them.

- The path from here & now to full production and deployment.

The last time this "Who wants to Collaborate?" thread went by (last month) a couple of people were interested, so I posted an old site talking about it to https://phoenixbureau.github.io/MagnusMotive/ It still needs some clean up and updating. I also set up an IRC channel on libra.chat and have been hanging out there: irc://irc.libera.chat/#MagnusMotive

The basic idea is to make huge geodesic cellular kites with Magnus effect propulsion and lift. https://phoenixbureau.github.io/MagnusMotive/Cellular-Fracta...

Two other aspects of the project would be good to mention here: First, the primary motivation is to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (and other ocean gyres) by collecting and reprocessing the plastic etc. that's floating out there. Second, I want to make and use extremely simple computers systems to control these robots (the cellular geodesic flying machines are made out of swarms of geodesic flying drones.)

I know this probably sounds crazy, but I've been over it and over it and I don't see anything insurmountable or even challenging. It's all off-the-shelf technology, and as time goes on hardware and software improvements make it easier all the time. One biggie is that I thought I would have to recruit an army of volunteers to drive the trash collector robots but now the recent advances in machine learning (et. al.) make that task (identifying trash) much much easier to scale up, eh?

Anyhow, to sum up:

Large flying buildings made from cellular swarm robots that assemble themselves into vast geodesic networks, collecting and recycling oceanic (and other) trash, using simple "provably correct" computer systems.

I wish there was a way to connect law firms or attorneys in states where you can read the law or become an apprentice with those wanting to become a lawyer without law school. I know there are only a few states, CA being the big one.
