I'm working on an idea in the business productivity space that I think could be promising. I'm a technical founder with some success launching products in the past. I've learned my lessons and decided that I do not want to be a solo-founder for my next endeavor.

Previously, I planned on taking my time, socializing with non-technical people at work, as well as attending startup meetups to find a potential co-founder, build a relationship, etc...

With the pandemic, everything is remote. Meetups have gone virtual, and no one is in the office.

I'm looking for novel ideas on how meet potential non-technical co-founders, mentors, etc... in these uncertain times.

Hi -

I'm launching a product that requires multiple different kinds of workflows (e.g. "Order fulfillment", "Contract Negotiation", etc...). And I'm looking for a product that can help me seamlessly manage the coordination of these workflows amongst my team, 3rd parties, and external customers.

The way I view it: I have some concept of an entity in my system (e.g. "an Order"), and any time one of those entities are created (e.g. "an Order is placed"), then some sequence of actions needs to be choreographed amongst my team, the customer, and 3rd parties. Currently I'm doing this using hacked together code, but it feels very brittle/hacked together.

I'm wondering if there is an "Orchestration system as a service" that can help me solve this. I've looked at things like Airflow, but it still seems too low-level. I'm looking for the equivalent of something like Algolia, Airflow, etc... i.e. a SaaS product. Kissflow seems interesting, but I'm hoping to have multiple options that I can evaluate before deciding.

Problem: I'm building an app that needs to live-stream a high quality video to a single recipient. The video stream would be one-way, but audio chat should exist between both parties.

Possible solutions: - Twilio programmable video. - ??

Considerations: - Since the video stream wouldn't be bi-directional, I'd like to have a solution that can take advantage of this. Specifically, I'd like to "turn-off" video for one of the participants.

Needs:

The app is for a real estate company. They have a list of 100-200 homes for sale. I need a low-code solution that provides a user dashboard + api. The user dashboard is for the agent to go in and add quickly add listing + images. The api is for the mobile app to fetch the listings.

I've been looking at cms solutions like contentful.com but they seem geared towards blog publishing. The API is complex and cumbersome to use too.
