I was thinking the same thing. Bokonist feel free to email me and we might be able to set something up. bradleyt (dot) marsh (at) gmail. I'm the one who built hackrtrackr by the way.


It's a good idea, and fills a real need (I say that as a doomed, not-a-genius single founder myself), but I think you'd get more people willing to post if you asked for less information on the form.

The form should have just two questions, really: "What are some ideas you are interested in working on?" and an email address.

Potential partners can discuss all the other details between themselves.


I like it the way it is.


For a guy who has no information about himself on his site's "About" page, you're awfully comfortable with other people publicly posting lots of data about themselves. ;)

Seriously, though, I know that form is based on the YC application, but YC doesn't make applications public.

Asking that much is going to make people who would otherwise fill out that form hesitate (it's one reason I haven't posted there myself, for example).


Can't you just leave the questions blank, if you don't like them?


Possibly; I didn't try it, though.


ou should connect with hacktracker and see what you guys can do together as far as mashing up your services

Not only is bluefin tuna overfished and in danger of extinction, but it's extremely high in mercury and PCBs as well.


That's pretty disturbing. But it tastes soooo good.

And actually, I think the blue fin tuna used in sushi is actually not from the "blue fin tuna" that you linked to. But I'm not entirely sure.


Well I'm not going to tell you not to order it because it's overfished, but you should seriously watch out because of the mercury. I know about a lot of really rich people who ate sushi a couple times a week when it first came to the US. Then they started having their hands shake and having all these weird neurological problem. Turned out to be the mercury, so now they aren't allowed to eat fish at all and they have to have all this crazy medical treatment.


I thought it was good. I posted my info.


small mistake: submission form asks winter commitment but front page shows summer commitment


Why would we want to use your messaging system instead of just posting our email address?
