Looking for projects to work on

Hey Evan, love that you’re looking to contribute to something meaningful

I’m a full-time food content creator building ClipChef — an AI-powered editing tool that turns long cooking videos into polished short clips based on simple prompts (like “just show plating + drizzle”).

I’ve validated the problem, set up a waitlist, and have real content + users ready to test. Just need the right technical partner to co-build the MVP.

If you’re curious, I’d love to share a quick 1-pager with you. Might be something you’d enjoy working on!

DM or email works. I’ll reach out too.

Hey Evan,

If you're looking to grow your skills while contributing to something impactful, you're very welcome to check out Betterlytics - an open-source, privacy-first alternative to Google Analytics. We're crrently a small team of 5 passionate, experienced developers building it in public.

The backend is written in Rust for high-performance event processing, and the dashboard uses the latest versions of React 19 and Next.js 15. It's built with ClickHouse for event analytics and Postgres for the app database - so you'll get hands-on experience with a modern, cutting-edge stack.

There are plenty of open issues ready for contribution, or feel free to reach out directly if you want to chat about where to get started!

You can check out the website & repository here:

Would be great to have you on board 🙂

Hey Evan
I’m new to Indie Hackers and just wanted to say thanks for your post. I’ve been deep in a project that’s tested my energy and optimism more than I expected, and seeing someone like you openly offering your skills reminded me that people still dream. You made my first scroll here feel like it was worth it. Appreciate you putting yourself out there.

Hey Evan , I think we might be a strong match!

I’m building an AI-powered platform that helps food and wellness brands go from trend signal → formulation → product concept in a fully integrated and automated workflow. It uses LLMs to mine early-stage consumer trends and then generates complete product concepts — including ingredient stacks, mockups, and storytelling — all tailored for rapid innovation and commercialization.

My background is in R&D and innovation leadership across CPG and food tech. I’ve helped formulate and launch products for brands like Starbucks, Smoothie King, McCain Foods, and more. Lately, I’ve shifted focus to building automated product development systems using AI tools like GPT-4, Stable Diffusion, Make, and no-code platforms with the goal of helping startups and emerging brands scale smarter and faster.

I’m looking for a technical collaborator to help bring this to life, ideally someone excited by AI, product innovation, and building purposeful tools from the ground up for small CPG companies that will scale quickly. Your background in CS and interest in impactful projects really stood out to me.

Let me know if you'd be open to chatting more — I’d love to share the vision and see if there's alignment. Thanks!

Hey Evan, I may well have something for you!

I have an idea for a free app that would help to prevent doomscrolling. I was looking for someone with a bit of coding knowledge/experience to do a bit of a collab with. I have 0 experience with coding, and I'll be honest, I just had a chat with ChatGPT about it and somehow ended up here 😅

I am however pretty good with forming concepts, making designs, using image editing software, creating organisation and structure, writing and a few other bits and bobs, but otherwise I have no idea where to start on making an app.

Let me know if you're interested and any pointers/suggestions are welcome 😊

Hello Evan do you have experience with computer vision?
