This is about to disappear off page 2 of the new submissions... one person did get in touch and put me on to Launch Festival which I hope to attend before I leave.
Otherwise, I'm wondering if a Sunday morning wasn't a great time to post this. If anyone has any feedback on how I could have done this better I'd really appreciate it—I naively thought that an offer of free no-strings work would be quite popular in SF but it looks like I'll need another approach. Ideas very welcome!
- Jd 14y agoThe problem is that the HN front page can't be used for this sort of thing or it will be swamped with free offers of various sorts (not to mention other types of advertisements). Sadly, I don't know of a good alternative except to find some people that you like here and contact them individually. You might even have luck cold-emailing startups that are doing something in your areas of expertise. Btw, it doesn't help that you have virtually no karma.
- _vn5r 14y agoI have karma -22 and I'm the one who told him about the Launch Conference so, where does that leave us?
- styrmis 14y agoThanks for the feedback, it's a shame there isn't a good alternative—there are meetups but they're really a different beast and may not be running when people visit. On karma, I feel guilty enough just enjoying reading HN but I realise I am missing out by not interacting at least a little.
