    How about a way to signup without Google or LinkedIn? Maybe HN-linked profiles?

    Also, I think a domain-name section is a good idea. Some ideas/projects may have them and some won't. Some people may have unused ones to offer. Others may see a domain name and get ideas just from seeing it.

    Also, unused social handles would be interesting.

    Yeah, not joining unless I can use my own email and password.

    Love the idea (and ideas). Nice clean look, simple navigation, no clutter.

    These are going to sound nitpicky, but I'm a dev myself and I know they're easy fixes for high UX gain.

    Navigation is a bit annoying, back button drops you at the top of the previous page so you have to scroll down again. Probably the (unnecessary?) loading state, you could just maintain a ref to the clicked-item and scroll it into view on first render.

    It says it thinks I'm in Philadelphia, which is about 500 miles off target.

      Thanks for the feedback! Just fixed the navigation issue :)

      I'm looking into the Philly issue.

    Reminds me of Travis Kalanick's apartment called "Jam pad".

    I was talking to a friend about the same issue and I randomly clicked the new tab to find this at the top :)

    I will ask my friend to take a look at this.

      Awesome! Great timing. Thank you for passing it along!

    This actually makes more sense than traditional cofounder matching. Most people just want someone to build with first.

    • itsmechase 11 hours ago ago

      Exactly! Doesn't need to be complicated.
