First of all: who is even there?
Under “Discover” you see people, projects and communities, sorted by how well they fit you.
You describe what you're planning, and Xyntal shows you who fits and why.
LinkedIn shows what someone can do. Whether they have time right now, what they expect and on what terms they'd join isn't there. Xyntal shows you before you write to anyone.
Matching
Under “Discover” you see people, projects and communities, sorted by how well they fit you.
The fit is made up of ten areas, weighted and added together. The same details always give the same number, and nobody can buy a better position.
With every suggestion you read what the person brings, what your profile is missing and what the next step would be.
Every area is listed separately, with points. If a number surprises you, you check where it comes from.
Never counts
The path
Keep scrollingSwipe →
Create an account, answer three questions: What are you building? Who are you looking for? How much time do you have? Every application is reviewed and answered by email.
Skills, tech stack, goals, languages, hours per week. And the terms on which you'd join: as a co-founder, paid, or as a side project.
28 blocks. Each time you pick what fits you most and what fits you least. Two people who both only push are not automatically the best team.
From 65 points on, someone shows up for you, with the number, the reasoning and the ten areas listed separately.
You write directly. To keep this from becoming a spam channel, there are limits: no more than three new conversations per hour.
Create a project, list the open roles. Anyone who wants to join signs up with “I'd be in”.
The app
The work happens in the app for Mac and Windows. Suggestions, projects and messages in one place. The images are from the real app, with sample data.
As of today
What already works and what's still missing.
Instead
You see titles and skills. You don't see whether someone has time right now or wants to join at all.
Profiles include time, expectations and the terms on which someone would join.
Lots of people, no filter. You ask the room and hope someone suitable answers.
You describe who you're looking for. Only people who reach at least 65 points are suggested to you.
Whether you find someone depends on who the people around you happen to know.
You also reach people nobody around you knows.
There you find paid jobs. Co-founding or a side project isn't part of it.
Co-founding, a paid task and a side project are equally valid paths.
Only after the third conversation does it turn out: no time, different expectations.
Time and expectations are in the profile before you write to each other.
Who wanted to join? It's somewhere between two hundred other messages.
One project, open roles and all sign-ups in one place.
