Got that hacking jones, but can’t find anyone to hack with? Head on over to JustHackIt, a site aimed at developers that launched last night. It is a place for developers to find each other, work on projects, and maybe even start a company. Developers can post projects they want to do and search through postings from other hackers.
The site describes itself this way:
The idea: Outside of Silicon Valley, lots of hackers are interested in web startups but don’t have a plethora of available co-founders to start a company with. Even if you know other hackers, often there are times when you want to start a project but your friends are busy. So the idea is to connect people who want to build something RIGHT NOW. Ideas can be simple 1 page websites or complex Google competitors
It reads a bit like the personals section of Craigslist, but don’t let that turn you off. Basically, it is a bulletin board for hackers. The problem is that it is too simplistic. Once you start a project, then what? Who owns it, how are any revenues or shares in a resulting company/site divvied up?
JustHackIt doesn’t help to answer those questions.
WOW!!! AMAZING! Now THIS is something which would really really help hackers away from Silicon Valley to get someone to work on their killer idea. Awesome!
Ah, the infusion of geeky teens hurrying to be officially call ‘hackers’ and work as a ‘community’ must be quite entertaining!
It sure beats advertising work. They can at least create *something*, even if they are misusing the word “hacker”.
can you help get a hacker.email at tddyclark@yahoo.com
I need a hacker as my friend,…..
good show like cityquery?
see http://www.cityquery.com
wow!!! a dating site for hackers!!! this is great because i’m a hacker too. haha
This really necessary? Their entire site is powered by Slinkset. Probably took them a few hours to put it all together. It really that newsworthy?
Its the IDEA thats newsworthy, not the coding itself dork
This is pretty cute. I could easily see something productive coming out of all this, like a couple cool web apps or tools
It’s a start. I’m sure they will add more things to their site along the way. It is ironic though to have a dev site in need of…devs
Nice idea. But how does one protect his ideas+work from being stolen once it’s exposed/shared
incredible
I can’t understand how people could be so uptight that they’d rag on something like this. This scratches an itch I have personally, and as long as they haven’t guzzled millions of VC funding, who the hell cares how perfect it is?
And why all the concern with legal / revenue issues? Github doesn’t address this issue and it’s the bees knees.
ya incredible
Slow news day?
This is very similar to a site I made two years ago (and sold): http://programm...eetdesigner.com
svd on my way over
Cambrianhouse and ProgrammerMeetDesigner seem to be more robust. Not sure why nobody has created a portfolio-type site like ModelMayhem or AllModelZone for programmers and designers.
Reference: Once you start a project, then what? Who owns it, how are any revenues or shares in a resulting company/site divvied up?
That would be my question also.
So, does anyone have any recommendations for finding information on how to sort these issues out? Legal issues, ownership, etc. How do you go about negotiating things like this with perspective partners? What all should be considered? What pitfalls should you look out for?
Erick, thanks for the comments.
We definitely are working right now to address your concerns. Basically we’ll be adding a bit more guidelines to posts to streamline the process of starting a new project and allow for quick arrangements of revenue shares etc.
@Bryan, thanks for the positive comments! This is definitely something that is scratching an itch for a lot of people.
“Ah, the infusion of geeky teens hurrying to be officially call ‘hackers’ and work as a ‘community’ must be quite entertaining!”
Don’t be so quick to dismiss those geeky teens, these types of sites are the proving grounds for people that will go on to eat your lunch.
Programmermeetdesigner.com does the same thing..probably in a much better way.
Hackers becoming Developers – Is the security world winning over the HACKERS ? Or They are loosing their EDGE
Whats next MyHack.com or FaceHack.com

It looks like either this site got hacked (irony) [or] … this story was just linkbait. — the site was working a couple hours ago.
OK so you refuse to resize your images – how about putting a width contraint on the IMG tag?
Well, I hope TC is going to cover us soon

Has anyone thought that JustHackIt.com might be hacked by hackers who intend to prove that the this is not the end of the hacking world.

i think there is a better chance to achieve such a goal by posting a project on one of the “freelance sites” where project can be seen by hundreds or even thousands of skilled people
