Great idea and thank you for offering your services.
I've always wondered if we can just pool the talent available here, with people advertising what they're good at. For those that aren't deeply involved in their own start ups, this can almost be fun. If someone has a good idea of something they want to hack up, just try to pull a few
people from this ether of talent, and try to build something very quickly. I'm talking about maximum of a few days of highly-parallel work.
If it grows into something above an assignment, there's your tiny start up. If not much comes out of it, the experience of being part of a small team working on something together can be worth much more than the time spent on it. Creating worth that is more than the sum of its parts.
And this post highlights that it's not just hackers/coders that can contribute. Illustrators, d
esigners, copywriters, law students, etc. There is very little limit because of little hierarchy.
i agree. it would be fun to help out fellow hackers and work ad-hoc on small, discrete chunks of side-projects. additionally, if no one with the required skills is available for certain mini-projects, this could be a nice reason to learn something new for those willing. my skill set: writing, hacking (for now, in that order)...
