Working solo on a medical triage simulator and hitting walls with triage priority algorithms. Considering reaching out for help here but nervous about sharing unfinished work. Have any devs successfully found collaborators through polden.gg? How did you establish trust/credibility without a proven track record? Looking for both technical partnerships and casual brainstorming partners.
Prototype-first approach. Nobody cares about design docs - build the jankiest triage mockup you can, then hit the co-dev channel. Prove you can execute and serious collabs will follow.
Started a visual design trade thread - I do UI for others’ prototypes in exchange for mechanic consulting. Maybe create a similar skillswap post focusing on medical accuracy?
The #project-showcase channel has a collaboration tag. Maybe share a non-sensitive subsystem and explicitly state what help you need? The community tends to reciprocate openness.
