Seeking Co-Founder for Declarative Application Editor

My name is Michael White and I have been reading HN daily since 2010.

I am an entrepreneurial software engineer who has founded two viable companies:

- GetchaBooks.com (2010-2012), a course-based textbook price comparison site that scraped BNCollege and Follett bookstores on-demand with optional course metadata integration. Founded with [Michael Lazer-Walker](http://lazerwalker.com) and [Richard Mondello](http://rmondello.com). I originated the idea and wrote the backend. Shut down after five semesters.

- MyGEDCOMs.com (2015-2022), a [GeneWeb](http://geneweb.org)-based GEDCOM (genealogy database) hosting site with BYOD, Dropbox photo upload, and unlimited generation maps on any tree or report.

I have also worked at [Dimagi](http://dimagi.com), a company I made up on Wikipedia and then registered an Inc for prior to attending college, and [Merck](http://merck.com).

I minored in linguistics, attended an AGI conference, and have been following the development of AI relatively closely but haven't used it yet except for a few Google queries.

I am looking for a non-technical co-founder for a declarative point-and-click application editor company. I have a whitepaper almost complete titled "A Self-Hosting Point-and-Click Editor for Any Functionally-Specified GUI-DB Application" in Python and JavaScript with a JavaScript-only frontend that builds on top of React, React Router v3, Backbone-Relational, Flask, SQLAlchemy, and Flask-Restless. Two of the most important additional components are almost complete.

I am looking for a non-technical co-founder to handle administration, fundraising, and marketing for anywhere from 15-30% equity. If there is a person who is interested in being a technical co-founder, I may be able to accommodate them.

Email me at [email protected] if you are interested.

    What is up with your strange claims on this page? https://michaelawhite.net/software/

      It's the truth, most likely, or potentially I don't understand something about childhood events.

        Sorry but that answer doesn't make any sense. Are you a bot?

          No, but I have read a lot of apparently AI-generated material without successfully identifying it as such to anyone else I know.

          Maybe we are seeing different versions of the page? I hear a very powerful entity may rewrite any page on the fly.

          Not sure if advisable to say. A network infrastructure operator with a human-level AI can potentially rewrite any content on the Internet in a granular fashion. Was hoping to get on the inside.
