isaac21259on Ask HN: Who's looking for a co-founder?

Hi, I'm Isaac. I've been working on Algebraic for the past several months. Algebraic generates detailed text and video explanations of math problems for high-school students. I'm still in the early stages but it can solve simple equations and I'm looking for a rust developer as a co-founder to speed up development. I'm located in Wollongong, Australia. I intend on making the project AGPL once I have a full working version. Contact me @ Isaacbankier@protonmail.com

Input seems to work fine even with things like multitouch gestures. I've never tried remoting into my machine graphically but there seem to be working vnc servers for Wayland.
