I’ve been building AI-powered web apps and SaaS tools for a while now and I’m at a point where I want to go all in on something with real potential. I run Waypoint Labs where I handle everything from database design and backend architecture to the frontend and deployment. Recently I shipped a competitor monitoring tool and an AI content platform for real estate agents, both from scratch, both production ready within a week.

I’m not looking to freelance or get hired. I want to find someone who has a strong idea in an industry they actually know, and who can handle the business and funding side while I own the technical execution. Essentially I want to step into a CTO role on something worth building.

My stack is Next.js, Supabase, Node.js, TypeScript and I’ve been building heavily with AI APIs lately. I move fast and I don’t overengineer things. I care about shipping real products that people actually pay for, not endless planning.

If you have a problem worth solving, domain expertise, and some ability to fund the early costs, let’s talk. Tell me what you’re building and why you’re the right person to sell it.

Like I want to know what your boss one time told you to do that felt illegal but wasn't illegal and you felt bad after doing it

Hey is it late to learn coding in 37 years age

If you're wondering a black company job is

low pay, and high-pressure tactics that make it incredibly difficult to leave these are basically jobs that force you to work until you die and you barely get any time by yourself or with family and sometimes you will even die while working at your computer by the way I accidentally confused some of you I do not work in coding or anything I am a part-time voice actor

Hey,

I’m currently building a hosting platform focused on gameservers (primarily Minecraft), with plans to expand into rootservers and other services later

The project is still in an early stage, but the core direction, infrastructure base and concept are already clearly defined

What i’m looking for:

• Fullstack developer (strong in backend + system thinking)
• Comfortable with APIs, auth, system design and integrations
• Experience with Docker / hosting-related systems is a big plus
• Someone who thinks long-term and cares about building things properly

Important:

This is a profit-share based long-term project

That means:

• Higher risk at the beginning
• But real upside if the project succeeds

You wouldn’t just be “a developer”, but a core part of the project:

• involved in technical decisions
• helping shape the system and architecture
• bringing in your own ideas and improving things

This is not a typical boss/worker setup, but a proper collaboration building something together long-term

About me:

• Based in Germany
• Handling business, structure and strategy
• Working with a sysadmin on infrastructure
• Goal is to build a serious long-term company, not a quick project

If this sounds interesting to you, feel free to reach out

We can just have a quick chat, get to know each other a bit and see if it’s a good fit from both sides

Working on an insurance-related app right now, and VIN data has somehow become one of the most annoying parts of the whole project. Everything seems okay until you start testing weird real-world cases and suddenly trims don’t match, mileage fields are missing, or the decoded data completely conflicts with what another provider returns.

We’re mainly trying to reduce manual checks during quote processing, fraud review, and vehicle verification, but I’m realizing there’s a huge difference between basic VIN decoding and data that’s actually usable inside an insurance workflow. Been comparing a few different tools lately, like Vincario, mostly to see which APIs stay consistent once you start throwing random imports, older vehicles, and edge cases at them.

Curious what everyone else here is using these days. Are most insurance apps relying on one provider or layering multiple VIN APIs together to fill gaps?
