Looking for a cofounder for an AI developer tools startup

I've been building a product over the past few weeks, and it's reached a stage where I'd love to build it alongside someone who complements what I enjoy doing.

I love building products and shipping fast. Now I'm looking for someone who gets equally excited about talking to customers, understanding their workflows, building relationships, and turning those conversations into a better product and business.

Tempest is an open-source AI development environment for enterprises focused on making multi-agent coding more token-efficient.

I'm not looking for someone chasing a quick startup or equity for the sake of it.

I'd rather find someone who's genuinely passionate about developer tools, enjoys working with developers and enterprise engineering teams, and wants to help build something meaningful from the ground up

If that sounds like you, I'd love to chat.

Tempest - A 64% More Token-Efficient Open-Source Alternative to Conductor.build for Windows, macOS & Linux

I've been working on Tempest for the past few weeks, an open-source desktop application for AI-assisted software engineering.

The goal from day one has been simple. To make agentic coding more efficient.

Instead of only relying on larger context windows, Tempest helps AI agents understand repositories more effectively using a local code graph. In our benchmarks, this reduced token usage by 64%, allowing agents to spend fewer tokens finding context and more on solving the actual problem.

Tempest also lets you run multiple AI coding agents from one interface, including:

  • Claude Code
  • Codex
  • Gemini CLI
  • GitHub Copilot CLI
  • Cursor Agent
  • Cline
  • Goose
  • OpenCode

Each agent runs in its own isolated environment. Beyond separate Git worktrees, Tempest provides OS-native process isolation using Bubblewrap on Linux, Seatbelt on macOS, and a custom isolation layer on Windows, allowing agents to execute commands safely in parallel without interfering with one another.

Everything runs locally, there's no vendor lock-in, and the project is completely open source.

We're also using Tempest to build Tempest, so every new feature is tested in the same multi-agent workflow we're building for everyone else.

I'd love to hear what you think. If you use AI coding tools regularly, what features would you want from an open-source alternative to Conductor[.]build?

How are you selling your apps?

I have a Shopify app doing around $300 MRR and I'm thinking of selling it for personal reasons.

Have any of you sold your Shopify app before? How did you value it and where did you find buyers? Any advice would be appreciated

How do you get people to discover an open source developer tool?

I recently open sourced a 10MB AI IDE.

Building it was surprisingly straightforward compared to figuring out distribution. I can spend hours working on engineering problems, but getting people to actually discover and try a project feels like a completely different skill.

I've posted on a few platforms. Some of them drove a bit of traffic, but I'm still trying to understand how successful open source projects get their first real users.

For those who have launched open source developer tools, what worked for you? Was it content, community engagement, cold outreach, launch platforms, or something else entirely?

If you were launching an open source project from zero today, how would you approach distribution?
