WeekendHacker

http://www.weekendhacker.net is solving exactly that problem (by trading skills) We have a little under 10K subscribers and although we haven't been as active recently we are ramping up with some new features too. Disclaimer: I am the creator.

I am a first-year CS student looking to build a very small personal project. I could definitely use a mentor, if you are interested. You haven't listed your email but mine is in my profile, feel free to drop me a line. and if not try http://www.weekendhacker.net/. It launched about a year ago with the same idea and format as Analog. It grew quickly and was fairly successful for a while. It has been quiet lately, the creator mentioned going through some personal stuff, but the most recent mailing was May 4 and it looked great and sounded promising. Good luck finding a project.

Weekend Hacker connects developers with projects. I don't think all the projects are open source but it might be worth having a look. http://www.weekendhacker.net/

Thanks Thomas! I love your designs (and http://www.weekendhacker.net too :)

Used to peruse this every now and again, been a few years, https://builditwith.me A hn user also launched http://www.weekendhacker.net which got a bit of traction at the time. You have also reminded me of the Startup or Shutup thread someone started in 2012. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3394844 Some of the discussion is here... https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!forum/startup-or-shut-up I recall the live document linked in the hn thread having activity at the time too but its not working anymore.

Regarding 2) Weekend hacker (http://www.weekendhacker.net) used to be a cool little email list with side projects people needed help with. Maybe expand your idea to something like WH?

There is http://www.weekendhacker.net/ Though I have always found most of the projects posted on that list to be either sketchy ("I am a biz guy, build my thing!") or not weekend-sized.

http://www.weekendhacker.net/ might be what you're looking for. I think I learnt about it on HN, too.

if you can get away with a very small MVP to test the idea out, then why not try something like http://www.weekendhacker.net - I realise you don't want to share the actual idea if it is fairly simple, but hey, you could word it a little obtusely. You can, of course just hire a web developer - some advice from Derek Sivers http://sivers.org/how2hire

Sounds exactly like the thing to submit to http://www.weekendhacker.net/

You should try the weekend hacker: http://weekendhacker.net/ There are also a few websites although I never tried any.

http://www.weekendhacker.net/ is where you want to go :)

Add the tag yourself! My profile [1] features EMBEDDED C, PCB-DESIGN, and DSP tags. EMBEDDED C existed, I created the other two. EMBEDDED and EMBEDDED SW were also extant when I got here, but there's currently no search feature to see who else uses these tags or what projects used them. I think HARDWARE is too ambiguous; this could apply to anything from implementing a task on a breadboard to architecting a server rack. That said, Thomas said that they were working on improved tag features as fas [sic, he's working fast!] as they could. [2]. I've suggested this on the UserVoice tracker [3].

good job! checkout my project about Tomatoes (http://tomatoes.heroku.com) when the site will be available again: http://www.weekendhacker.net/projects/WP181-Tomatoes

Does anyone else think the way freelance work is allocated is ripe for change? Seeing the positive response to sites like http://tinyproj.com and http://weekendhacker.net, it seems like highly competent freelancers would benefit from a middle ground between the somewhat impersonal market of eLance/oDesk and the inefficient method of seeking work via personal networks. Something like a "hackers guild" of people who have been vetted for quality work. Projects could be semi-automatically assigned to single or multiple individuals based on the importance of the project as measured by the dollar value attached to it and the skill of the individuals as measured by their historical feedback ratings. Maybe this is just my naive impression as an undergrad approaching graduation who would prefer freelancing to a 9-5 or even a startup but hasn't come to terms yet with the fact that inefficiency in the matching process and initially low rates are unavoidable. If not and you'd be interested in building or using such a system, I'd like to talk to you. It also relates to emerging things like the "reputation graph" and transitive delegation that can enable these sorts of systems, and are going to be huge (see http://blog.hyperarchy.com, http://liquidfeedback.org, http://rglabsinc.com).
