Ask HN: Anybody want to work on something together?
I'm starting to feel a bit lonely and less motivated than ever before. If anybody feels the same way and wants to collaborate on a project or even just chat about some ideas let me know in the comments. Now feels like a great time to be building and not just consuming!
I've struggled to meet like-minded people and this has become harder with lockdown for me. I haven't found a good forum for doing so and having been on hackernews for the last decade I figured why not post here.
I'm a data scientist by day and have worked in finance, healthcare, and public policy. For fun I like to work on a wide range of side-projects using python and django/flask but would be open to trying something new and even non-technical.

- rossdavidh 6y agoYou've been on hackernews for the last decade, but you don't have any comments, and no submissions prior to this one? :)
- imadethistoo 6y agotheir account was created just before posting this... So throwaway or lurker much like myself
- patentatt 6y agoYup, I’ve actually been on hn since 2008, but I’ve rotated/lost accounts over the years. I sort of wish I had one of those old accounts however for posterity.
- rossdavidh 6y agoAha, I see. I thought it was a throwaway account, which seemed odd for someone who was wanting to get partners in a project. Good luck on whatever you end up doing!

- bsldld 6y agoThere is a discord server for that: https://discord.gg/MzhGqQC https://discord.gg/MzhGqQC
- the_only_law 6y agoBy the name of the server this seems to be at least unofficially associated with YC? Is this primarily for projects backed by YC or just commercial projects?
- bsldld 6y agoIt is for people who are working on side-projects, startups and or want to build a startup. It is open for everyone. It is to help each other as well as find someone to work with on a project.
- Graffur 6y agoAre you working with the OP or is this different? programmingbuddy#1201 EDIT: I wasn't sure how discord works. The OP posted a discord username, not a different channel (I think)
- bsldld 6y ago> Are you working with the OP or is this different? It is a separate server. > I wasn't sure how discord works. Discord (https://discord.com https://discord.com) allows a user to create a "server" for a topic of interest. Other discord users can then join the server. The admins of the server can create multiple channel for discussing sub-topics. > The OP posted a discord username, not a different channel (I think) Yes, you are right. OP posted his/her username. Whereas I posted a discord server link. You can join the server by creating a discord account on https://discord.com https://discord.com

- bsldld 6y agoHow about this project: https://bsldld.neocities.org https://bsldld.neocities.org I am looking for fellow engineers to work with. Let me know if interested.
- bsldld 6y agoCannot change the original comment, hence adding a new one. The link is updated to: https://loan-free-ed.neocities.org https://loan-free-ed.neocities.org
- giantg2 6y agoI'll help work on a six pack
- sixQuarks 6y agoI'm also looking to work with 1 or 2 people on a fun project. I have a few ideas backed by domain expertise that I've researched and believe have good chances of success. What interesting things have you built, and what are your strengths and weaknesses? Let's see if we'll be a good fit.
- notriv 6y agoHow to contact you ? You can discord me --> Notriv #7401
- bsldld 6y agouse #hackathons channel on the discord server https://discord.gg/MzhGqQC https://discord.gg/MzhGqQC to discuss projects and find collaborators.
- 177tcca 6y agoHow did this platform become a home for people who understand technology?
- bsldld 6y agoBecause it was created by people who understand technology :)
- 177tcca 6y agoAh, right - the "who needs security and privacy - we're building things so fast!" crowd.
- bsldld 6y agoNo, there are people there who are not of that view. The members of the server come from various backgrounds and experience. Join in and start a conversation, and see if you can help some budding entrepreneurs.
- Foxmilk 6y agoI currently work in finance (high frequency trading) and am honing my data science skills (I use pandas a lot for work, branching into pytorch and fastai), and as a hobby I'm working on a collaborative open-source fiction platform. I'm down for new and existing projects. Feel free to add me on Discord: Father Fox#2368 Or join the discord group directly (we're very friendly): https://discord.gg/fFqRkTM https://discord.gg/fFqRkTM
- austinjp 6y agoLooks like we've got a few things in common. I've no time to start or join a project, but I'd enjoy some conversation and someone to bounce ideas around with. What's the best way to get in touch?
- codingbuddy 6y agoFeel free to reach out on discord: programmingbuddy#1201 or email programmingbuddy at protonmail dot com.
- bsldld 6y agoJoin the discord server https://discord.gg/MzhGqQC https://discord.gg/MzhGqQC There are lot of engineers and startup founders(aspiring as well as veterans) on that server. Everyone will welcome your insights.
