I suggested something similar many years ago, about creating a team to work on big projects but never got a good amount of interested people.

There are just way too many ideas about different projects but realistically speaking it would have to be something that is revolutionary it would have to be a project that creates a solution/meets a need in order for the project to be successful.

There also must be a way to sync up the different updates done on a regular basis and have a way to review the merged updates, all this needs to be automated otherwise it will become a headache, imagine hundreds of lines of code being updated daily without having a way to automatically merge and review the code, it will become a nightmare.

It would be really nice to build something that not only meets a need or provides a solution to a problem but that also demonstrates the power od B4x, one of the things that I've struggled so much is explaining or proving to clients the power B4x has.

Anyhow, would be nice to create a great team of developers to at least start creating something for fun.

Hi everyone! it would be great working together in a project with other members in the forum.

I don't think that the develop process should be too difficult, I have managed many projects where essentially every member of the team had to develop a certain part of the program or a certain module, obviously all modules have an expected input and output to be compatible with other modules, and after that, just integrate everithing.

The best thing to start a project could be making a brainstorming meeting on zoom to see what kind of synergy we can generate together ?

Cheers!

my first concern when thinking of getting together with other devs is how long will it last? when will the arguing starts? what will happen if the project will get very successful will the money become an issue?

it is very hard to work in a team without a boss that leads the team but then you wrote this:

Anyhow, would be nice to create a great team of developers to at least start creating something for fun.

and this change everything. i have not thought of creating something with others only for fun. this, eliminates all concerns and this is also a very good way to see if you can work with specific devs and maybe in the future do project for money.

i am in. create something for fun that can help others maybe disabled kids/people?

Except for games, this is key :
build something that not only meets a need or provides a solution to a problem but that also demonstrates the power od B4x
Personally, I don't feel the need to demonstrate the power of the B4X platform (we all know that it already is).
I would be more inclined to develop something which solves and provides a solution to a problem.
I have some ideas :)

a tiny/simple idea...
... maybe disabled kids/people?
Well ...lately.. Google.. updated the Google keyboard having a microphone on it... so when you are at viber, or sms... or anywhere can write... you can press and speak and recognizing/typing to text...

but this feature is only enabled at specific android versions... will be nice if we just create just a text-box with the help of Google-voice recocnition to typing the text at the textbox (with big size text)...

Also having a "speaker" - using TTS to speak out this text or the text someone will type by keyboard... if he can see...

So people with problem at their eyes or can't hear... will covered by this simple app...

We can create dozen of those small utils/tools to help people...


Also we can create educational apps for maths... and translate them in many languages!

Those are common concerns in every business situation, and it could be solved with an contract or initial agreement where it is stated all of that, the rights and responsabilities of everyone, how the income will be managed and diatributed, the shared property of the resulting product, what happens in case of dissolution and all of that, having an initial agreement and a clear structure help to mitigate almost every discussion because all is established from the beginning.

As the saying goes "Clear accounts preserve friendships"

Most developers think that the most important thing is the idea of the product (what to do) and that causes the bias of not sharing their ideas, but in reality, the most important thing is the execution, in a practical way.... an idea without execution has no value.

In every team or any relation, all the members have to learn how to work with each other and how to communicate. Sincerely I think that there are so many talented people on this forum, and I'm always thinking what kind of amazing product will be resulting on a collaboration.

I hope this thread results in a good team focused on developing something great
