It's written using Ruby On Rails 2.X. The exercises are written in C. I also have an exercise recommendation server I wrote in Clojure.

If a co-founder is a software developer, I'd like someone with experience writing a web app front to back. Maybe someone that specializes in something I'm not too familiar with. I noticed you're into systems programming, I'd love to work with someone with that kind of experience!

As far as qualities go, I'd like someone who can work remotely and get shit done. Someone that will communicate immediately how they feel about the project. For example, if they didn't want to be a part of it anymore, they would just come out and tell me and not just disappear.

I am currently living in Midland, TX. I'll be moving to El Paso, TX soon. Nearest tech city is Austin, TX. I drive there occasionally for meet ups. As soon as my wife finishes school, we're off to California.



I like your project, but I honestly can't say if I'm willing or able to commit to cofounding a startup around it right now (as it would obviously be a big commitment, I'd want to be sure its something I can and want to do first - plus I'd have personal projects/startup ideas to cancel or put on hold). I also don't know if I would be a good fit[1].

Still, I would be interested in chatting regardless (even if you already found somebody - one can never have enough good contacts), so feel free to drop me an email sometime. HN username at gmail.

[1] eg, I have no real business experience, nor have I ever used rails - willing to learn on both counts, of course, but I don't want to say I can do something when I don't know for sure. I'm also based in europe (Ireland) and I don't know if the distance would cause problems
