<p class="c0"><span class="c1">Every creative person has a project--or at least a project idea.</span></p>
<p class="c0"><span class="c5 c3"><a class="c9" href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://findcollabs.com/&amp;sa=D&amp;ust=1552752271536000">FindCollabs</a></span><span class="c1"> is a place to share your projects, whether those projects are new or old. Your project doesn’t even have to have code associated with it yet--it can just be an idea, like a weather prediction system.</span></p>
<p class="c0"><img class="aligncenter" title="" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/MLgD1ryO3zxwgiK5yIjSqfqSTnf54bzYBHv34DUTPZKSaP6JWVSgZc6lgwaFZotw7pJBc84O3oRj1ocQAeRaNSbfFtv-x6h34enx-5cpZ_CFE6rxhUN1eTL5RnEjhCfUET1BgNVo" alt="" /></p>
<p class="c0"><span class="c1">Your project can be anything creative--a game, or an animation, or a song.</span></p>
<p class="c0"><span class="c1">One project I’m working on is a <a href="https://findcollabs.com/project/bTbebHdRQjWaeYHh931n">FindCollabs Theme Song</a>. Two collaborators have worked on the project, Adam and AJ. I already <a href="https://findcollabs.com/profile/3FDftAsLZXarys00RHO01X4cU4N2">gave Adam a review</a> (he did a great job). AJ’s review is pending.</span></p>
<p class="c10"><img class="aligncenter" title="" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/bJ76hSiL3qdOuK_vOVca100icfw5shNYi9aPL26us6c0n9ViqBXrtmLWXSFroO7vywpGXUz9e6QcDQA9y-pMrFcVzo6jEik_T-NjuR4ZpzBZvsOo-LQq94u4bUsvLqEipNuLuDps" alt="" /></p>
<p class="c0"><span class="c1">The workflow for submitting a project is easy. As an example, I’ll go through a project that I want to share with the FindCollabs community.</span></p>
<p class="c0"><img class="aligncenter" title="" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/1SyOnTosMpL2hEtbvWR83K6H8hKkNNnwCqNf2-vSU-kQKlZvMNsmYLFxsZvCI_6dT26rTRGhcALaMHd3ELq0u7YiaLMGIMmYLrIEPSHtKBEZNmHDbveqcxMTFWtsBsiYRP1VyMkf" alt="" /></p>
<p class="c0"><span class="c1">This is Escrow, a social betting game I invented. It’s not the prettiest game in the world, but it has some cool ideas. Maybe other people will want to contribute to it. Let’s add it to FindCollabs!</span></p>
<p class="c0"><img class="aligncenter" title="" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/6TEPqZ2Ha_KR2w9PLDQQIEKSwOqlTPlzPbrifLNQEANKUewBowZUYNxFoALPJrVF9DvoDT983BjXBoLMcW1xLN_V1IFkZST5HHxABLKiK6EsW7AxsUOiukS9ve5PGp--3kCoy8cF" alt="" /></p>
<p class="c0"><span class="c1">I added the link to my GitHub repository and a live version of the app so people can test it out. Now I’ll create some roles, so people know how they could contribute to the game.</span></p>
<p class="c0"><img class="aligncenter" title="" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/qdvV2ZHw8jsxzs6hkII74Qlu9vdKA-bf1AygEjGX7Z8dkTvMY0R_45vQlRmHIYJME_nQxDXocIRkxaFoLfqCOMxPXhru6G4pES5D8MkdaIjNYit2BsfgpgAxzFGgprqIB9DGxH7U" alt="" /></p>
<p class="c0"><span class="c3">That’s it! Now my project is created on FindCollabs. </span><span class="c3 c6">People who come to FindCollabs will see it in the feed.</span></p>
<p class="c0"><img class="aligncenter" title="" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/5xW7HDHKvcKJTBn9SuS84rm3pVVunCLAyyPLroS6iLfy_IZ6GyXt5KthJTihvgrSpcSWo-26vqW_NxOVQhuHQrPTZ-oOgsBIQ0_r_bz3_520v9MkbIxCZhz6AgM8qY9wkVFUmPza" alt="" /></p>
<p class="c0"><span class="c1">When you click into a project, you are taken to an interface that allows you to chat and interact with the project. I’m already getting some feedback from Vynce.</span></p>

We have a popular podcast, but the content is difficult to index, search, and discover. We have outgrown WordPress and podcast players.</span></p>
<p class="c0"><span class="c1">The community has been building the Software Daily platform for a few years, and FindCollabs gives us a platform to work within.</span></p>

<p class="c0"><span class="c1">On FindCollabs, you can post new projects and old projects. You can post a rough idea or a detailed product spec.</span></p>
<p class="c0"><span class="c3">When you share your projects, other people can get a sense for who you are and how you like to work. </span><span class="c5 c3"><a class="c9" href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://findcollabs.com/profile/6Ju2MxOkiSaomUPgd3rWLxriACe2&amp;sa=D&amp;ust=1552752271540000">Here’s my profile</a></span><span class="c1">.</span></p>
