Hi HN! I made a thing and wanted to share it with the builders of HN.<p>Problem: I’ve found it hard/impossible to stay consistent on my side projects over the years with a pretty demanding full-time job and now kids. When the job picks up, it’s too easy to drop the side project for a day, which becomes a week, which becomes months. It’s also been somewhat demotivating to build alone on the side because you only have so much time and projects take so long. In college it was easier to find people to work with. Now, not so much.<p>Solution: I think it’ll be easier to stay motivated and consistent on projects when working with someone else. Enter Guild Origin: Post an idea you want to build or are building. Then if anyone is interested in the project, they’ll reach out and you can work on it together - it’s that simple! I’ve added a basic streak feature to help stay consistent and will continue adding features that incentivize consistency.<p>I know there are already several sites for finding startup cofounders, and I wanted to create something more laid back. Sometimes it doesn’t need to be a startup - it can just be a cool idea you want to build to learn a new skill or make the world better. Maybe it evolves into something more and maybe you just use it yourself - that’s totally fine!<p>TIA for any feedback or thoughts on my first side project “MVP”. Here’s to building awesome projects together!
That other guy must be having a bad day. You've built something cool, most people have not. Sharing projects like this is what I miss about the old internet. I'm sure you're learning lots along the way. Godspeed.
Dude, we are making the exact same thing, we def need to connect! My stuff is at fenomener.framer.website and we are 400 members as of now. Im building projects with several peeps in the community. So awesome! I like your vibes, relentlessly resourceful vibes, the best kind
If I wanted to find people to work with, I'd go where those people are: one of the many more or less specialized social networks. I wouldn't sign up to some empty website with one active user, which is the site's anonymous owner, who also happens to be a self-promoter on HN.
