Good Morning All!

My name is Gerald and I am a student in new haven. I have no Coding or real in depth computer experience but I think I have a great idea that I would like to see come to life with the help of anyone who would be willing to help me out! I have an idea for a social media platform that I would like to utilize as a way to connect with others. I have a lot more details with the idea and would be more than happy to share them with who ever feels they would like to help out! If this seems like something that isn't worth your time thats ok! I deeply appreciate you taking the time to read this and please feel free to pass this on to who ever you think might be willing to take a shot. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope to hear back from someone! 

Thanks,

Gerald

Hi Gerald!

I think, to pique folks' interest, you'll have to explain what would be different about the social network you imagine, what would differentiate it from all the other ways people have to connect. Most startups fail, and even then, they can be a lot of work, so developers can be pretty skeptical. What makes this one special?

Thats a great point. So to go in depth to let everyone know what would make this different than any other regular program is that it is college exclusive. The way that you would be able to log into the app/website would be from a school email that is given to all students at all universities through the university itself. Essentially what that means is if you don't go to that school, you cant log into that schools version of the program. What the program would do is be a better version of what most schools use on their own. (my school has "banner web") What most universities lack is the ability to reach students through their mobile devices actively and effectively. Yes, they post up info on some form of platform, but what they don't do is make it easily accessible enough for everyday busy students to see on their time. Please let me know if you wish to know more about the idea because I have much more to share and many ideas for it.

Hi Gerald!

You should totally join us at one of our upcoming events. We've been having social nights regularly, so you're more than welcome to come join us and tell us about your idea.  Depending on your project idea you may find an overlap with someone who has similar interests. Do keep in mind though, a lot of us techies get bombarded with pitches from people who talk AT us and not WITH us, which isn't very fun.

So come on by, and if you find someone to collaborate with, awesome, and if you don't, there's always a lively group ready to discuss about all sorts of tech topics.

We have events linked on our website http://newhaven.io/ and there's always people chatting on the slack, which you can get to through the widget on the main site.

Hope to see ya soon!
Zach et. al.

Gerald,

While reviewing the Newhaven.io home page, a reference was pointed to a Google Groups web site.  I discovered your 9/7/2017 post on the Google Groups page and figured you might be able to assist me.  
I'm an entrepreneur with a unique idea and am in need of a computer whiz.  I'll briefly describe my plans:

I need help designing a Sound Module for my Home Page so that web site visitors can reproduce a the limited range of sounds.  
Creating & placing these Sound Modules on my website Home Page is the hart of the problem for me. 

I've already designed 95% of the web site to include: the Color Schemes, Logos, etc. that will be needed for the web site.  I do not require anything complex.  Simplicity & functionality are all that is required.  I only need advice/help designing the Sound Module needed to reproduce the sounds. 
Willing to pay a reasonable fee for services rendered.

Gee
