Ask HN: Want to build something open source on nights and weekends together?

2•vira28•2h ago

Not a hiring post. I have a 9-5 but also a lot of ideas I want to build. The core is just to show up and make small progress — but I find I'm missing accountability and partnership, so I thought it'd be nice to partner with someone. Mostly backend/infra stuff. If you're interested, email in my profile.

The best thing you can do is try to start this by your self. Yes it is hard but once you have even a vague demonstration of an idea that can be the launch pad to getting others in the fold.

Linux started Linux by himself, then others came along if they are inspired.

I know it is hard to do at first but that hard first step is what is usually needed.
