Ask HN: Is there a side project network?
More specifically, is there a network for people to find others to collaborate on side projects with? I mean, we all know other developers/designers/marketers, but, the ones I know, are mostly too busy to take on another project.
An open Ask HN community consultation from 2013 where @joshmn convened hundreds of developers and bootstrappers to share real experiences, hard numbers, and tactics.
Core Principles for Independent Builders:
Participants share raw revenue figures, churn rates, and stack decisions that corporate PR never publishes.
Recurring answers reveal that distribution, not coding skill, is almost universally the rate-limiting step in developer businesses.
Practical recommendations on bookkeeping, payment gateways (Stripe vs Paddle), and freelance-to-product transitions.
Community Debate Themes:
Hundreds of active indie hackers contributed case studies, pricing heuristics, and pitfalls to avoid when moonlighting on side projects.

There is http://www.weekendhacker.net/
Though I have always found most of the projects posted on that list to be either sketchy ("I am a biz guy, build my thing!") or not weekend-sized.
Something like http://www.techcofounder.com ?
