Looking for serious DSA learner

I’ve been learning Data Structures & Algorithms seriously for around 1.5 years now and have solved 800+ problems while preparing for MAANG-level interviews.
Now I’m planning to revise all the important topics again from scratch

Instead of revising alone, I thought it would be more productive to teach people who are genuinely interested and consistent.

Looking for data science study partner (mathematics included)

Hello, I’m looking for a study partner (up to 5) focused on structured learning and applied projects.

The focus is on strengthening fundamentals in data science and mathematics while building small, portfolio-ready projects. We’ll cover Python/R, statistics, discrete mathematics, data modeling, research practice, and clear documentation, with an emphasis on actually building rather than only studying theory.

This is suitable for people with little to intermediate experience. What matters most is consistency, curiosity, and a builder mindset rather than prior expertise.

We’ll work asynchronously during the week through short updates and discussions and have a structured sync every 2–4 weeks to share progress and review what we’ve built.

Time commitment is roughly 2–4 hours per week.

Relevant paths include data analyst, data scientist, data engineer, ML engineer, BI, or related roles, but the goal is skill-building, not job titles.

Timezone is GMT-5, with flexibility of about ±3 hours. Larger gaps are fine if you are available asynchronously.

We’ll use a lightweight structure inspired by product thinking: clear goals, defined focus areas, and visible progress to avoid vague or scattered learning.

If you’re interested, feel free to comment!

Looking for people to build a local-first community platform with

I’ve been thinking about this project for a while and I’m trying to find people that would actually wanna build it together instead of me just sitting on the idea alone

The idea is basically a local-first community/social platform where communities can run their own spaces directly from their own PC/server and invite people through links/domains. Kinda like mixing community spaces, social profiles, realtime chat, creator spaces and project groups all into one thing.

Like imagine:

  • a school hosting one for students
  • a small city/community hosting one so people know what’s happening around them
  • creators/youtubers hosting their own spaces directly
  • friend groups making private communities
  • dev groups building their own public spaces

People would have stuff like:

  • profiles + pfps
  • followers/friends
  • posts/comments/reactions
  • servers/communities
  • channels/chatrooms
  • DMs/group chats
  • moderation systems
  • bots/plugins
  • realtime updates
  • local/self hosting support

I also wanna explore stuff like:

  • privacy/community ownership
  • realtime systems
  • self hosting
  • local-first networking
  • AI moderation running locally
  • open source/community driven development

The goal is making communities feel more connected and controlled by the people actually running them instead of everything depending on giant centralized platforms.

I’m mainly focused on backend/infrastructure stuff right now but honestly I’d love meeting:

  • backend devs
  • frontend people
  • mobile devs
  • UI designers
  • networking people
  • people interested in realtime/community systems
  • or honestly anybody learning and wanting to build something ambitious together

You definitely don’t need to be some crazy senior engineer either if the idea sounds interesting and you wanna learn/build with other people that’s enough.

Tech stack I’m exploring right now is mainly Go, Node.js, websockets/realtime systems and self hosted architecture stuff.Right now I’m mostly looking for:

  • backend devs
  • frontend people
  • UI/UX designers
  • mobile devs
  • people interested in realtime/community systems
  • honestly anyone that thinks the vision sounds cool

You definitely do NOT need to be some super experienced engineer either if you’re learning and wanna build something ambitious with other people that’s cool too.

Would love to meet people that are into networking, self hosting, realtime systems, communities, open source stuff or just big internet ideas in general

Looking for someone to teach me how to make an app

I am pretty advanced with Python, I use it for datascience, I have some familiarity with neural networks. I don't know how to actually make a functional app that could be in an app store. Is there anyone who would teach me? I have some experience with Rust and I do not want to use C#.

Looking for someone also learning nodejs

So I have recently started learning nodejs from odin project, it is fun but I think it will be more fun if there will be also someone to discuss about the topics we learn and also it will make both of us to get a better grasp on the backend. So if you are also learning nodejs and expressjs then let's connect.

looking for buddies to build an open source ngo app

hi all,

i am a web developer working on an open source mobile app for a small grassroots ngo i am part of. we do environmental and community work, mostly tree plantation, animal support, and donation drives. looking for programming buddies who would find a real, deployed social impact project a fun thing to build alongside me.

about me. ist timezone. comfortable on the flutter side, learning more on backend.

the mvp is small. (1) sapling tracking with gps based location mapping. (2) photo updates to log growth over time. (3) basic reminders like watering schedules. (4) a simple module to connect donors with people in need. later phases would expand into animal support and emergency help. nothing locked in, we decide the stack and architecture together.

open to anyone working on flutter, backend, databases, ui/ux, maps, or qa and docs. experience level does not matter. beginners welcome if you are consistent.

fully volunteer, fully open source. no money, no equity, nothing commercial. the app will actually be used on the ground by the ngo, so the work is real. you also get a public github commit history on a social impact project for your portfolio.

if any of this sounds interesting, drop a comment or reddit chat me.

Let’s Connect & Build Something Together

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing well. As a solo programmer, I had always been limited to the ability of my skills, as well as the amount of time I had. However, this also limited my ability to learn teamwork.

Which is why, we are now creating a new team where we can

* Connect and network with each other
* Learn teamwork and skills from each other
* Build an exciting product together.

We are currently building indie team that is passionate and motivated in creating something unique while connecting to others and learning new skills. In fact, we already have 6 members too, and are currently deciding the first project to get started on. If you have any ideas, we are all ears.

If you are not an expert, don’t worry, as we welcome anyone that have some experience in coding. It doesn’t have to be too much, but at least you needed to know what you are talking about and touched some codes before. However, this group are limited to teens that are interested in building something together through.

For those interested, please comment or DM me today! Come fast through, as the chance for joining is reducing every single minute. Let’s create something exciting together.

My own web engine and browser!

Hi everyone!

I've recently started working on my own web browser and my own web engine project. Right now it's really basic and at its early and basic stages but it does work.

I'm still learning while building this and I'm not an expert making some massive professional browser or web engine from scratch. And during this time I'm mostly experimenting and things break a lot, and I mostly just work locally.

The browser ui is currently simple (it's just a window with text in it and nothing else) and the web engine is also really simple, but I want to keep improving it over time and see how it turns out. I thought it could also be fun to let other people join in if they're interested in it.

If anyone wants to contribute, help with code, suggest ideas, learn together, or just mess around with the project for fun, then you're more than welcome to join in.

I'll share more progress as I go along. :)

  1. Available (being busy is ok, but please do not ignore me 😔)
  2. Speaks English or Russian
  3. My timezone is GMT +5, so we will meet up at around 7.00 pm based on my local time on weekdays, and almost anytime on weekends.
