Coding our country language? You can filter the view by coding language.

Yes, I'm not too happy with Airtable's layout. Will be building this out as a stand-alone web app.

Hmm. Looking into this now.

I included Common Lisp as an option. I don't think airtable allows for users to input custom values. I'll need to think of a workaround.

I'm trying to implement voting, so valuable ideas needing co-hackers show first (just need to find a way to integrate with airtable).

To your second question, I'd definitely be interested in hearing you out.

Thanks! Added Open Source as an option.

While I understand this angle, I do think this can be helpful to people with smaller side projects.

[rgbrenner → bloatedcarpel]

thanks for the clarification, and removing "co-founder" from the hn title. For side projects it could be useful.

[bloatedcarpel → rgbrenner]

Sure thing.

I agree with this sentiment with regards to more formal businesses. Like you say, you don't want to screw those up. But for smaller, side projects, I think this is usefull.

I also believe in the "shotgun" method of pushing out an MVP, guaging the response, and seeing what sticks. This could be the perfect thing for finding someone to build "shotgun" kinds of projects with.

And if the MVP is successful.. then what? Aren't you back to the 'formal business' problem?

[bloatedcarpel → rgbrenner]

Yes, and individuals should be cautious about the terms they agree to when people are interested in pairing up.

I used the term "co-hackers" on the site specifically, meaning people can pair up to work on projects together, not necessarily as co-founders.

I like co-hackers. Sounds exciting without being to formal.

I agree. I'm open to using another service, but Airtable seems to be the best fit for now.
