I'm currently working on a project devoted to hooking up devs and developers based on projects that they want to work on - what sort of work are you looking for? Have an academic interest in what sort of criteria you're using to choose what to work on.

Im mostly interested right now in python web apps and node.js type projects. A couple things I whipped up recently:

  whosreppin.me : A site to connect voters with their local reps (django)

  hckrn.ws : A mini hacker news targeted for mobile devices (node.js / couchdb)

Is that what you were looking for?

Yes, exactly!

What drew you to these projects?

hckrn.ws was a class project that I used for getting my hands dirty in some server side js + nosql technologies so it was an opportunity to kill those 2 birds w/ one stone.

whosreppin.me was built for an NPR KQED iPad hackathon event. So it was super simple and streamlined and I used a more familiar set of technologiess (postgres, django) in order to mash something up in a weekend. The neat part is that whosreppin.me shared 1st place w/ one other team.

DEBUG is set to TRUE on whosreppin.me...you might wanna change that

thanks for mentioning! fixed.
