Have any HN members met here and collaborated on a project?

With the abundance of talent and ideas on HN one would think that readers/users would by now have formed viable teams of founders and gone on to conquer the world. So, has any of you done so? Tell us your story. Also if you would like to meet a collaborator / co-founder here, by all means reach out.

I've met a bunch of people on HN that I've gone on to do stuff with. Patrick McKenzie, one of my current business partners, is just the most obvious example.

I'm working on a platform for just that with another person I found on here. It's real early on so we'll see how it goes. To me a platform were people can contribute part time on team projects to make money seems like the perfect alternative to, well, everything else.

I second you on that brother(or sister), I second you on that.

I would be interested in testing it out. I am close to New York City would be interesting in any meetups also.

What about meetings in remote locations? I'm in the USVI and it'd be great to meet some fellow HNers passing through.

I would love to try this platform out.

email me in my profile. I'll let you know when it's ready to launch.

I am under the impression (mistaken? please correct me if I'm wrong) that patio11 and tptacek met here, and have since founded starfighters.io

I recently met several people who may become potential collaborators due to comments about what I'm working on (privacy-focused ad-tech), and I've met a few generally interesting people in the Bay Area to have lunch/dinner with here as well. I always reply to handwritten emails, my email is in my profile.
