so I'm wondering if this is something that the HN community wonders about: If you were interested in doing a project (personal or otherwise), where do you go to find others who might be interested in discussing it together? Is this something you find difficult?<p>Some examples I can think of:<p>- you're interested in working in area X, but have little experience in it (say, edtech). Are there open projects that you can join to learn more?<p>- you're interested in doing a niche project (say, translating the Iliad). On the internet, there might be someone who's interested, but where do you find them?<p>- etc<p>Any personal experiences welcome :) Thanks yall
Sometime ago I came across a discord server(<a href="https://discord.gg/MzhGqQC" rel="nofollow">https://discord.gg/MzhGqQC</a>). Going through their various channels, one stood out for me. The #hackathons channel that is meant for engineers to come together and hack on something interesting. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much activity. If we can use that as a starting point then we could find interesting projects to work on.
I have been looking for like-minded engineers to work on an open source non-profit idea I have. It is documented here: <a href="https://loan-free-ed.neocities.org" rel="nofollow">https://loan-free-ed.neocities.org</a><p>If interested, then please ping me. My email is in my profile.
