Seeking partner for side project

14 points by emilioolivares 9 years ago | 20 comments

Hey HN! I launched flipmeme.com a couple of years ago. It's a fun side project which really helped my learn Django and Python. I haven't touched it in a while, but it's recently getting a lot of traffic (120k uniques per month). I'm not really good at design but I know that there is some potential here. Would anybody be interested in teaming up and taking this to the next level?

If you're serious about a project, please get in touch with me. I lack experience but I'm obsessive in my habits concerning research. I'm a fast learner, I'm persistent, highly motivated and I've already started developing a brand concerning Cyber Security, Program/Web Development and Research analysis. I look forward to hearing from you.

Not to be rude but I'd encourage you not to use that name on HN especially if you are going to be seeking jobs.

I don't think it is against any rules but HN is a bit more professional-oriented than Reddit.

I like your site. I was looking fore something like this. faved now!!

side note: is this something that you can monetize by displaying ads? or ads companies won't let you display their ads since it is not your content? with 120k users that usually lurk on this kind of site for a while, it seems like a good way to get some ad money from it.

Thank you! It's very hard to monetize this at this point. The traffic is too low. I would rather focus on growing it first before I start to think about monetization.

I would love to find a FE web guy. And soon a growth/marketing hacker (we have a small 4-digit budget set aside for this)

This is a bingo-style/slot-machine/fantasy-sport type app.

We are currently using an online excel table as an MVP!!!

I can offer some help with js or by adding endpoints on the backend.

This is not an open source - we are very revenue and growth driven...

Thanks so much. Do you have a MVP that is on the web that we can see?

I'd be into this. I'm a design guy and I too have a side project I built years ago which almost became the basis of a tv game show. I need a backend person. Contact me and maybe we can work on some things.

Hmm.. this sounds just just what I need

I am doing a bingo-style/slot-machine/fantasy-sport type app.

(Doing all the backend stuff. Using an online excel table as an MVP!!! ;( )

Interested in talking ?

Is there anywhere good for floating open-source project ideas? I have ideas, but sometimes I:

a) could do with brainstorm for a good design

b) know of already similar projects, or better approaches

c) know of people wanting to collaborate

On a different topic, out of curiosity what algorithm do you use to generate unique links.

emilioolivares 9 years ago | |

Hello Joe, I'm actually just using the names of the images off of Imgur. There is a discussion on reddit of how this is done, you can find it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/comments/2yv4kq/al...
