[EDIT: No longer available] Want to build an MVP for your industry? I'm a fullstack dev with a lot of free time and I want to help.
EDIT: I am currently full. Lots of great ideas in this thread. Remember you can create your own threads and look for partners. There are quite a few tech people that "lurk" IH searching for motivation/inspiration for a new project.
Hello,
Are you someone with some experience in your industry/domain?
Have you identified a problem in your industry?
Have you thought of a possible solution but you don't yet have the technical skills to build it yourself?
I might be able to help. Together we can build an MVP and put your idea to the test.
I am not charging anything.
But there are some types of projects that I WON'T consider:
- Anything that requires a lot of users to achieve success.
- Anything that involves ML/AI, crypto, hard algorithm problems.
- Anything that involves scraping.
- Anything that is hot right now and you want to jump on the bandwagon.
Type of projects that I'd like:
- Some software that would be useful for you.
- Automation or improvement of industry processes.
What I'm offering:
- Building the thing, from planning to deployment.
- Daily communication and thoughts on my coding decisions.
- Chats about coding if you want to learn to code.
Hey Cosmin,
Would love to have you consider me as well. Im a Lead PM in SF. I have had an exit before and run a UX company before as well. So I am strong on PM/UX. I have an idea that I think is not a big lift and is clear open space in the industry.
I have some mentors that may also want to invest. Looking for a Tech partner to take it from idea to reality :)
If you are interested, plz ping me@hsial.com
Hello, I'm fully occupied for the next few months at least, sorry. I wish I could edit my post to reflect that. If it's ok with you, I could contact you when I'm ready for a new project, but this is at least a few months out.
Click the three dots on the left of your post to edit it.
Thank you!
Sounds like a plan. Thanks for letting me know. I'd love to hear back from you when you do have time. :)
Hi Cosmin,
I'm a PM at a Health Insurance firm in an African country. I have an idea of an MVP for a particular niche.
I'm in search of a partner to assist from the drawing board to the launch.
I have free time whenever you do.

Hi Cosmin,
My name is Ardi. I'm an cloud kitchen entrepreneur and also a food preneur with almost 10 years of experience in this industry. I've also worked as a restaurant consultant at the biggest food review startup Zomato and became the fastest achiever in the country. One thing that really frustrated me is the lack of food content marketing for instagram. The cost of making food content is really high and you need to hire a photographer if you want it to look really good for your branding.
I really need software or a web app, that could help me create focus mock up for FnB industries that could lower cost for content marketing for restaurant all over the world. This will reduce a lot of cost and strenghten branding for food businesses.

Hello Cosmin,
I would like to partner up.
I am a backend engineer with free time.
Hello Cosmin, I'm also a full stack dev. Thanks for this post, I would probably write the same if I had more free time. Very wise kind of projects listed :)
heyya, love to chat
Hi Cosmin.
We are looking for a CTO/Tech person to join our team.
The project is based on tourism industry.
Will you be interested in this project?
Thanks
Simon
Hello,
I have already found a project I want to pursue thanks to this post.
If you need someone full-time I can't help.
But if you need an MVP, I probably would have the time for both projects.
My email is bacanu.c@gmail.com if you want to talk about the project and see if I can help.
Thanks.
Thanks for the explanation. Now I get it:-)
Hey there! If you're still interested then I'd love to talk with you a bit more.
What does this mean? "Anything that requires a lot of users to achieve success."
I was thinking of social sites like facebook, reddit, pinterest etc. These require a lot of users. Compared this to a site that helps you with your taxes. That would require only 1 user for it to be considered a useful tool (which I think makes it a success, although not a big one).
I've never had success with social sites, I'm probably cursed :) so I prefer to avoid building them.
Hi Cosmin, I would be happy to have a chat with you, even if just for feedback. My email is italiacrafts@gmail.com. Thanks
Hi Cosmin! I was thinking about the site, like a quote generator, but with the random data from google sheets (or any other DB) instead of quotes:) Users register themselves, then go to the page, where they can generate the data.
Unfortunately, I am kinda bad at back and front end development, so would it be possible to ask you for some help?:)
Thank you!
Alex
Hello Alex, I don't really understand what the site will do, as in: how will using it benefit the user? Can you further explain your idea?
Ah, so its nothing groundbreaking there, I just wanted to connect the site to my spreadsheet with my personal lifehacks and insights and let other people generate them by clicking the button on the website.
Oh, nice.
Well, the simplest way to do it would be to export the spreadsheet as a json file and have a static site with some js that picks a random item from the json. This would require manual updates for the site.
A more complicated solution would be to make an API call to google spreadsheets (or maybe a spreadsheet that is published as an app), which would not require you to update the site as it will always fetch the data from spreadsheets.
I've made a proof of concept of deploying the sheet as an app that selects a random value from the spreadsheet:
It's a bit of a hassle and I wouldn't recommend it.
We could go the route of the static site and manually updating the "database" on the static site if you'd like.

Thank you so much!!! I will try to do it myself first to learn a bit, but will definitely text you on email as well:)
Thank you again!
