Show HN: I made Tinder, but for side hustlers

19 points by dcraciun 2y ago

Hey HN, This is DevMarket, a platform connecting technical and non-technical people to work on side projects together. You swipe right until you find a profile that resonates with you, use tools to evaluate them, and start a project with clear agreements in place. It’s designed as an end-to-end solution for cofounder matching, and our motivation is to make cofounder finding easy for everyone. I hope you enjoy it. Would love your feedback Daniel

For a tinder clone, not mobile friendly

  If you don't mind, what specific part is not mobile-friendly? I'll fix it ASAP

    Well now I feel like an ass. The matching app works fine, but during setup th3res several places where it asks you to preview your profile, and it seems only during profile setup, the profile preview isn't horizontally responsive. When I just went back to it and went to my created profile, and hit preview it looks good. So, during profile creation, preview profile on an iphone 16pm screen, the profile preview was blown out horizontally and I couldnt scroll. Hope that's enough detail

How many people do you have on the platform? This concept is all about network effects.

  I have 80+ at the moment, most of which are developers. A ratio of 5:1 I'd say. What do you mean by network effects though? I'm quite new to business

    There's a law (forgot the name but search online) that says your business or whatever is as powerful as the number of users squared (paraphrasing). Basically each new user is not just 1 but the size of the network! So scale.

      That's an interesting concept, I think you are referring to Metcalfe's law. I'll do my best to scale for sure https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metcalfe%27s_law https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metcalfe%27s_law

        Yes that is the one.

Broke on mobile during standup :/ wasn't able to progress pass skills

  Did it was it a random console error? It may be due to load issues since the site has many users at the moment.
