Hello, I am starting a startup, and I am looking for accomplices. For now, I think I need a php hacker who is familiar with the cake framework, and a frontend hacker who can make nice designs and dhtml. If anyone is interested, please send me an email TIRRELLP AT HOTMAIL DOT COM.
@tx: Lost points by using hotmail. Interesting observation, but I have had this email for 10+ years. Laziness and inertia keep me using it.<p>@webwright: I am a hacker, project manager and biz guy, and I suck at design.<p>@dfens: Essentially, online shopping lists with some cool algorithms suggesting when you might need what (I notice you haven't bought milk in 2 weeks, would you like to add it to your shopping list?) + suggestions + sms capability (both requests and receipts of your latest shopping lists) + more features tbd. I have a core set of features that I as a user would like to see, after that point, its whatever makes sense.<p>I welcome more questions and more discussion. You can either post here or email me at my lame hotmail account.
You lost a few points by using PHP.<p>You'll have a lot better luck finding people if you talk a little bit about yourself and what you're up to. Keeping your idea secret is less valuable than you think, while the value of finding a good cofounder is beyond measure. Good luck!
@big-j: To me, co-founder means exactly what you said: "Getting together with someone with complementary skills." No lawyers involved at this point, its just proof of concept mode.
@Zak, the secrecy is not by design, but the features are pretty loosely defined at this point, and will be driven by input from co-conspirators + customer response.
