I spent the last few weeks building Co-Found so devs don't have to build side projects alone

I think most developers have experienced this: you build a really cool side project, the tech stack is solid, the code is clean... but then nothing happens. No users, no sales, no marketing.

I’m great at building, but marketing have never been my strong suit. And whenever I tried finding someone on LinkedIn or Reddit to team up with, it was either full of corporate recruiters or spam filters blocking genuine collaboration. Even with a friend, i felt like i did 90% of the work.

So I decided to build a dedicated place for this: Co-Found (https://co-found.site). It’s completely free to browse and test out.

The idea is simple:
Filter and find co-founders based on actual tech stacks and roles (developers, designers, growth, idea people).
Instead of cold connection requests, you pitch what you want to build together.
Built-in workspaces with chat, task boards, and a quick "prenup" tool so both sides agree on expectations and equity before spending months coding.
And so much more features and tools i wont be able to fit in here haha.

Since this community is full of developers who actually build things:

What has your experience been trying to find co-founders or team members for side projects?
If you check out the site, what’s the first thing you feel is missing or broken?

Im always looking for feedback and listening to my users all the time to improve this site. So it would mean alot if you all in the dev community would check it out and give me feedback!
