Product Designer looking to partner with a Laravel Developer :)

Hi—it's been a few yeas since I've been on these forums! I hope it's ok to post this here in General. Happy to move it if necessary.

A few years ago, I spent some time here leaning to program and build a web app. I was able to get pretty far with the help of Jeffery's tutorials and these forums. I launched a super early MVP of an idea I called MatchUP over at https://matchup.us. The idea is to help athletes find pickup sports and tournaments, and teams find subs, etc.

Then I left the web design/development world for a role designing native iOS and Android apps.

Since then, the site has gone pretty much untouched for the last 3 years. I still think the concept is solid and worth pursuing.

I'm certainly not the first to pursue this concept but I don't think anyone has really succeeded. I have a lot of thoughts and ideas though how to potentially make it work.

I am currently freelancing now and have some time again. I'd like to get back to working on Matchup and make some improvements as well as add some important features.

I believe my best hope for getting this project off the ground would be for me to focus on the design and to find a partner to help build it.

You can get know a bit more about me here: http://nathangross.me

Please understand, I don't have the funds to hire someone to work on it. I think there is a possibility to make a business out of it though—but that would be a bit down the road.

Please reach out if you'd be interested or if you have thoughts or ideas on how I might get this thing off the ground.

Thanks for your time!

@nathangross

I'm more looking to pair up with someone cause I have my own ideas, but I'm also willing to do someone's idea first :)

How does that sound to you?
