I'm wondering if there's an active site where I can find other devs and designers to work with on projects that we mutually have an interest in. Any ideas?
I sometimes have success on HN. Disasters on sites like Freelancers.com. I run a r&d team and am always on the prowl for good designers and developers wanting to solve hard problems. I'd encourage anyone who fits that criteria to email innovation@ieee.org with info on what types of projects you like to work on and how much time you have to dedicate to them :-)
There are a lot of 'founder matchmaking' websites out there, but I haven't heard any good stories. Otherwise try the monthly Freelance thread here: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7507753" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7507753</a> or Toptal, Elance, etc.
You might be interested it <a href="http://builditwith.me" rel="nofollow">http://builditwith.me</a>, a platform for people with ideas to find designers/developers.<p>It appears to be mostly old listings (earliest idea is from Feb 2014) but people will probably still be receptive to emails. YMMV.
I'm very interested as well. Currently looking for a designer to help me work on the frontend of <a href="http://resrc.io" rel="nofollow">http://resrc.io</a>
