24 alternatives to DevBuddies – where programming buddies work together

Hi there, I’m a developer and I have always struggled with design aspects and have always been in need for a designer. There used to be a website called programmermeetdesigner.com, but that shut down a long time ago.

    Hello HN! We're a small team in Kyoto building a website called dédédé (https://dedede.de/en) that invites people to share the various positives, negatives, oddities, etc. they find in urban spaces.
