Show HN: Redsand.io – Find partners for software projects

In the last few months it seems like there have been a number of these targeted forums that might otherwise have been sub-sections of a larger site like Reddit. I can't escape the feeling that these could potentially turn into a sort of honey pot that will land my email address in the hands of a recruiting business or other advertiser. There is a lot of value to be derived from collecting an audience of skilled workers in a single discussion venue with ambiguous privacy rules.

I guess the barrier to leaving a known quantity like Reddit and signing up for a mom-and-pop forum like this feels a lot higher than it used to. I need to know more about who is running it, what their goals and roadmap are, and have some data to help me reason about the trade-offs of moving discussions there.

redsand.io is a community of software developers who are open to collaboration. You can filter users by specific skills and find your ideal teammate.

I mean, if this service would match existing companies with talents they seek, the obvious case is that the company might pay the platform for the match.

So this service would instead have to make the users pay for something like premium?

Or maybe handle the infrastructure for the matched talents for a fee?

Our pitch is “find a co-founder / collaborator” for your project. We have had a number of matches but as people would know finding a right person to work with is always a challenge even if a platform exists to connect (still necessary!) good luck!

Currently, I have no time to spend, but maybe in a few months or if a project comes along that fits 100% one of my own ideas.
