Ask HN: Hacker in need of ideas?

Local meetups are a great place to find like-minded individuals as well as other entrepreneurs (meetup.com).

Ditto noodleshare and builditwith.me

You can also try techcofounder.com. I hear the response rate for developers is quite high.

Your throwaway account is hindering my ability to Google you (and subsequently contact you myself), so if you want to talk, feel free to contact me. I have ideas too :).

Reading builditwith.me is exasperating, they're almost all outdated ideas with trendy buzzwords. "An alarm clock with gamification!"

And then there are gems like this: "What is "Unified Passport System"? It likes Oauth, but it's more complicated." Yeah, because people were complaining that OAuth was too simple ;)

I guess you may find something worthwhile in there, but it seems to me that you can get a better return of your time by looking at what's already out there and thinking on how to improve it.

Yes sorry for the throw-away.. it's so I don't get a mailbox full of $15/hr contracting requests :)

Thanks for the comments - I will check those out.
