Is that London, UK?

simonahgilberton Ask HN: Who's Looking for a Co-Founder?

I’m keen. Based in Manchester, UK.

Have co-founded 2 startups (1 successful, 1 that failed). I’ve learnt a lot from both.

My blog is here - www.simongilbert.net

(There are 2 news articles linked on my blog regarding my first startup, for some clarity on the product).

Feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn or Github.

* EDIT *

It’s worth noting that I have a spreadsheet of ideas for stuff I’d like to build, it’s just finding the right people (even if they’re remote).

simonahgilberton Ask HN: Which stack will get my MVP API off the ground fastest?

Personally I would choose ASP.Net Core, hosted on a Microsoft Azure App Service with continuous integration from AppVeyor.

Benefits - Azure App Service free tier is awesome. AppVeyor have a 14 day trial that supports deployment directly from Git to Azure and .Net Core is awesome.

Here’s a blog I wrote recently which covers this exact implementation -

In terms of a database implementation, Azure’s NoSQL table storage is super cheap and awesome, as covered here -
