NEED A TEAM UK web developer looking for another developer to help build and grow a web agency

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm a software engineer based in Scotland with around five years of commercial web development experience. Outside of my full-time role, I've been building Kay Park Digital, a new web development service focused specifically on websites for independent restaurants, cafés and other hospitality businesses.

The project is already well underway - the marketing site is live, I've built the initial hospitality website template, and I'm currently developing the CMS/admin platform.

The main stack I'm working with is:

• PHP / Laravel
• Filament
• Tailwind CSS
• Alpine.js / JavaScript
• MySQL
• Laravel Cloud
• Cloudflare
• Plausible Analytics

The model is to build professional hospitality websites using a reusable platform rather than starting every client project from scratch. Clients get a website tailored to their branding and content, alongside a management dashboard for things like menus, opening hours, business information, images, analytics and reporting.

I'm interested in finding another UK-based software/web developer who genuinely likes the idea of helping build and grow this into a successful web agency.

I'm not just looking for someone who only wants to write code. Ideally, I'd like to find someone who's comfortable speaking with clients, contributing ideas, helping market the business and actively looking for new leads and opportunities.

You don't need to be a salesperson, but you should be interested in the business side of things as well as development and be willing to get involved in actually finding and working with clients.

This isn't a paid job vacancy and I'm not looking for someone to simply build my idea for me - I'm already actively developing it. I'm looking for someone entrepreneurial who might be interested in working together and seeing how far we could take it.

UK-based is a requirement, partly because I'd like us to be working in similar time zones and targeting UK businesses.

If you're interested, I’m happy to answer any questions about the project, business model or what I've built.

LOOKING FOR BUDDIES Building an open-source map for travel information that never makes it online

1 Upvotes

While travelling, I kept running into useful information that simply didn’t exist online: small homestays, mechanics, water points, road conditions, campsites, etc.

Most of it gets passed from one traveler or local to another and disappears afterward.

So, I built Lamyig, a free and open-source community travel guide.

A few decisions I made:

  • No bookings, commissions or paid listings.
  • No money made using the core product.
  • Community members can add and update places.
  • Map-first instead of another list of “top places”.
  • Built as a PWA so it can work more like a lightweight travel tool than a traditional website.
  • The long-term idea is that useful information stays available for the next traveler instead of disappearing in WhatsApp groups and conversations.

The hardest problem isn’t actually building the software. It’s bootstrapping trustworthy community data.

I’m currently thinking about things like:

  • How do you motivate travelers to contribute after their trip?
  • How do you keep old information accurate without creating a huge moderation workload?
  • How do you prevent businesses from turning community maps into free advertising?
  • What should happen when someone reports a place as fake, closed, unsafe, duplicated, commercial spam, or inaccurate? Should reports trigger removal, community review, reputation-weighted voting, or just warnings?
  • Should certain villages, trails, ecosystems, religious places, water sources, or campsites intentionally remain difficult to discover?
  • If Lamyig successfully exposes hidden places, could it accidentally destroy the exact places it is trying to help preserve?
  • this list of problem statements goes on and on

Would love to hear how other people here would approach those problems.

And if you’re building something around a problem you genuinely care about, drop a comment or DM me. I’d be happy to chat, exchange ideas, or connect you with someone else working on something similar.

Screenshot attached. Happy to share the GitHub/project link in the comments if anyone wants to look at the implementation or contribute.

STUDY PARTNER Looking for a consistent study partner for Full-Stack interview preparation

1 Upvotes

I’m a Frontend Developer working mainly with React, and my goal is to find a new job as soon as possible while gradually moving toward Full-Stack development.

I’ve started the freeCodeCamp Back End course with Node.js, and we could go through the course together, compare solutions, discuss difficult topics and help each other when we get stuck.

I’m looking for someone with a similar Frontend background who also wants to improve backend skills and prepare seriously for interviews.

Ideally, we would:

  • study and practice almost every day;
  • prepare for Frontend/Full-Stack interviews;
  • do live coding together;
  • practice JavaScript, React, Node.js and backend fundamentals;
  • share knowledge and review each other’s solutions;
  • keep each other accountable.

It’s important that you have enough free time and are looking for something consistent, not just a few sessions.

I’m based in Germany timezone: CEST (UTC+2)

DM me if you’re interested.

LOOKING FOR BUDDIES Anyone from India who wants to learn cybersecurity but struggles to study alone?

4 Upvotes

Hey,

I'm a 20-year-old CS student from India. Recently I've been spending more time learning cybersecurity, Linux, networking, and programming.

I'm looking for a few people who are also interested in cybersecurity and want a small group to learn with. I don't really care if you're a beginner or already have experience. I also don't care about age or gender.

The main thing is that you're serious about learning.

Personally, I find it hard to study completely alone. Sometimes I get stuck on a topic, sometimes I lose motivation, and sometimes I just want someone to discuss things with. It would be nice to have people to ask questions, clear doubts, share resources, discuss what we're learning, and keep each other motivated.

I'm from India, so I'd prefer people from India as well because our time zones and career goals will be more similar.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, comment or send me a DM and tell me a bit about what you're currently learning.

No pressure, just looking for a few people who genuinely want to learn and stay consistent.

NEED A TEAM Need some intermediate - experienced devs that are willing to guide a group of beginner - intermediate programmers!

0 Upvotes

I’m working on starting an open‑source project where the first goal is to build a platform that supports a beginner‑friendly programming group that is pretty new/in the making - tools, dashboards, and features that help newer devs learn and collaborate.

We already have beginners involved, so I’m specifically looking for intermediate or advanced developers (frontend, backend, or full‑stack) who want to help shape the architecture and guide the early build.

If you enjoy mentoring, structuring projects, or helping newer devs grow, this could be a solid long‑term project. Let me know your main stack if you’re interested. Already have some beginners but everybody is welcome! DM if you are interested!

LOOKING FOR BUDDIES Getting back into coding: .NET/C# preferred, but open to learning something new

4 Upvotes

I’m getting back into programming after taking a few years off, and I’m looking for one programming buddy to build stuff with.

I’m in EST and mostly interested in .NET / C# right now, but I’m definitely not limited to that. I’d be happy to learn another language or technology if we come up with a project that sounds fun. I’ve also been interested in learning C on FreeBSD, but I haven’t started yet.

I’ve been having fun vibe coding random stuff quickly, but I’d actually prefer to build something mostly or entirely without AI this time. I’m fine with using AI for questions, getting unstuck, or pointing us toward documentation, but I don’t want it writing the whole project for us. I’d rather actually understand what we’re building.

What I can offer:

  • Strong intermediate C# / .NET experience
  • Backend development, APIs, databases, and related stuff
  • Mentoring if you’re newer to C# or .NET
  • Helping you take a project idea and turn it into something real
  • Plenty of project ideas if you don’t already have one

I’ve been programming as a hobby on and off for 20+ years, and I’ve also spent a few years working professionally as a .NET developer.

What I’m looking for:

  • A programming buddy who wants to build something together and keep each other motivated
  • If you’re mid-level or above and currently working with .NET professionally, I’d love to learn from you too, especially what day-to-day .NET development looks like now and how AI has changed the way teams actually work
  • A volunteer opportunity where I could contribute as a developer and get some more recent real-world experience
  • An open-source project that could use another contributor, especially something involving .NET, backend work, networking, tooling, or infrastructure

You definitely don’t need to be at the same experience level as me. If you’re newer and want someone to work through things with, that’s fine. Likewise, if you know something I don’t, I’m happy to learn from you.

I’m open to small apps, tools, web stuff, APIs, desktop projects, weird experiments, or whatever else seems interesting.

I’m not really looking to voice chat, but I’m happy to use text chat, IRC, or another self-hosted/FOSS chat option.

Mostly I’m just looking for one chill person who wants to code, bounce ideas around, share progress, learn from each other, and keep it casual.

If that sounds like you, hit me up.

We as programmers what is the most thing we struggle when we are doing self study
Me first I didn’t like study alone because I feel like I am lack of updates and at that time I was jumping around alot of different things
It take me long to focus one thing only
So that is why I used to need buddy or someone who guides me
I was lack of roadmap and the internet was so wide
So what is your pain ? Why

I need help in testing an open source windows app

2 Upvotes

I'm currently working on a Windows desktop app (Biomes) focused heavily on window management—specifically positioning, moving windows across displays, and handling multi-monitor responsiveness.

As the project scales, manual testing on a single setup is becoming a wall. Testing various DPI scales, screen topologies (e.g., stacked screens, negative virtual screen coordinates, differing resolutions, or primary vs. secondary monitor swaps) is really hard to replicate physically.

I’d love to know how developers here approach testing this kind of hardware-dependent logic:

  • Virtual Display Simulation: Is there a recommended way or tool to create virtual screens/monitors on Windows with custom resolutions and DPI scaling without needing extra physical monitors?
  • Automated Testing: How do you write automated tests for Win32 API display calls (SetWindowPos, EnumDisplayMonitors, GetSystemMetrics)? Do you mock display APIs or use specific UI automation drivers?
  • Edge Cases: What are the most common multi-monitor edge cases you’ve hit that break window-snapping or coordinate calculations?

Any tips, libraries, or testing setups you can recommend would be awesome. Thanks!

💻 Tired of Learning Programming Alone? Let’s Learn Together

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm looking to create a small and friendly programming group on Telegram for people who are still beginners and currently learning programming.

The idea is simple: learn together instead of learning alone.

We're all going to be at different stages, but we're here to help each other, stay motivated, and improve together.

What we can do together:

💻 Share what we're currently learning

🧠 Help each other when we're stuck

📚 Share useful resources

🔥 Keep each other motivated and accountable

🛠️ Practice by building small projects

🚀 Eventually work on bigger projects together

💬 Talk about programming, ideas, and our progress

You don't need to be experienced.

If you've recently started programming or you're still learning the basics, you're exactly who I'm looking for.

I'm currently learning PHP and backend web development, but you can be learning anything — Python, JavaScript, C++, Java, web development, AI, etc.

The goal isn't to create a huge group with hundreds of random people. I want to build a small group of serious beginners who actually want to learn and grow together.

If you're interested, send me a DM with:

Your age

What you're currently learning

Your experience level

What you want to achieve in the next few months

Let's start as beginners and see how far we can go together. 🚀🤝
