I'm thrilled to launch DevDuo today, a platform that's been brewing in my mind for over a year.
Why I built this:
As a solo developer, I constantly had amazing project ideas but lacked the motivation and complementary skills to bring them to life. I'd spend hours on Reddit and Discord trying to find coding partners, only to discover mismatched timezones, incompatible tech stacks, or completely different coding philosophies. The existing platforms were all job-focused, but I didn't want to hire someone or get hired. I wanted to find my coding soulmate to build something awesome together.
What makes DevDuo different:
Unlike traditional job boards or freelance platforms, DevDuo is built exclusively for developers seeking collaboration partners. Our AI doesn't just match based on skills - it analyzes your coding style from GitHub repos, considers timezone compatibility, and even factors in personality traits that make great development partnerships.
The skill verification system is something I'm particularly excited about. Instead of relying on self-reported skills, developers complete real coding challenges that automatically update their profiles. We also import LinkedIn skills to give a complete picture of each developer's capabilities.
What I'm most proud of:
The real-time matching algorithm that learns from successful partnerships. Every time two developers collaborate successfully, the system gets smarter about future matches.
Here's what I need from this amazing community:
- Try out the platform and give me your brutally honest feedback
- If you're a developer, join and help us prove that the right partnership can 10x your side project success
- Share this with any developer friends who are tired of coding alone
Building DevDuo has been a solo journey, but launching it doesn't have to be. I genuinely believe that great software comes from great partnerships, and I can't wait to see what this community builds together.
Ready to find your coding partner? Let's make something incredible together! 🚀
This is truely awesome! The AI matching based on coding style from GitHub repos — that's such a smart way to find compatible partners, way beyond just skills. Ngl, I've wasted so much time with mismatched projects before. So excited to try this out! Is there a free trial to test the waters before I commit?
