Re:Cofounder Mode: A tactical guide to finding a cofounder on Wednesday October 16, 2024 @12:31PM (#41861036)
Appreciate the feedback and rousing discussion

Some responses that I'll probably also update in the post:

a/ Why not start with people you know or friends?-- This is 100% the best way and I tried it first. Timing is hard and there's only like 7 people I'd want to start companies with. They all had good reasons not to embark on starting a company at this moment.

b/ Vibes is super vague-- I found it really important to get along with a cofounder as friends-- I met my CF's wife early on, we did thanksgiving together, we spent a lot of time together outside of work. We've had actual fun building so far. For some that's important, for others not. It's a great point, I'll clarify.

c/ OP is a non-technical ideas guy looking for his coding ninja-- Nope, sorry. I've never had an eng job but learned to code early in college building random iphone apps. Been building nights and weekends for the past 10 years (including while cofounder searching).

d/ Start building instead of just CF searching- great point. Building out ideas, talking to customers, etc makes your cofounder conversations waaaay more interesting because people can see you get excited about something real. Early on I had too many high-level conversations about "the space" or "starting something" that led nowhere.

e/ These "modes" are total bs-- Totally agree but gotta keep the title interesting : )

You are correct. Thanks for defending me a bit on the internet Yaseer! Also going to ping you offline, your company looks great and relevant to us.

Good q and I can't name one either. Though I suspect when you're successful you tell a modified story about how you met.

"I ran a tight interview process and selected the best match based on vibes and a spreadsheet" isn't super inspiring to customers, employees, investors.

What's your use case for persisting the annotations but new screenshots?

Excalidraw.com does exactly this but their arrows just aren't as in-your-face as Skitch's.

Added and pushed! This idea cuts my workflow way down. You've also showed me that it needs the ability to paste an image from clipboard to the canvas. Adding as an issue.
Thank you! Copy directly to clipboard is a great idea that I’d totally use too. I’ll see if I can add it today

Show HN: PinkArrows – An open-source Skitch alternative on the web

https://github.com/robbalian/pinkarrows

I really loved Skitch. In fact, the pink Skitch arrows and dumbed-down text became a trademark of mine in multiple jobs. In a sea of text on Slack and email, Skitch annotations are a refreshing way to make a single, obvious, and easy to digest point. Since Skitch shut down, I've looked for multiple alternatives that are: Free-ish, have similar styling, and are lightweight (no signin, no server...
