You'll find that most people are unmotivated shitstains that won't move their asses unless they face threats of financial ruin or the cracking of their boss's whip

It's a "party finder" for startups. Right now, there isn't a very good way to find startups to join or to recruit new talent for your big idea. You have to use sites like LinkedIn, Meetup, and Indeed to collaborate. These are all limited and they're basically job bulletins instead of platforms for people to group up.
The preliminary idea behind party finder is kind of like a dungeon finder in an MMO. You have a list of groups and they list their open positions, "loot" (compensation), standing/reputation, et cetera. The broader goals are to provide tools/services that both parties can use (employees and employers) to weed out the crap. For employers, they can give leet-code esque questions to applicants. And employees can see what the reputation of the group. As a group gains more reputation, it increases in parity level and gets more features/privileges. Think of something akin to Discord where anyone can make a server but some servers are more established than others and thus have more features (i.e. banners, animated gifs, promoted by Discord itself, et cetera).
The picture is a mockup I had a friend designed. I even went about and made part of the mockup in React and started working on the DB and backend design.
It just sucks so much. At this point, I'm basically free labor to anyone who has a decent sounding idea. I just want to work with more people outside of my regular wagie job.

>It's a "party finder" for startups. This is the most ironic thing I have ever heard, user can't find anyone to help him with his project because it doesn't exist yet.

sounds like something useless that could pick up steam, keep it up, and as , said, get better friends

>tfw the flakes prevent me from creating my app
My first feature will be to permaban any lazy idiots from the platform. If you fail to attend to a meetup or slack 3 times in a row without the owners say-so, you're IP banned from the service.
