My wife is very understanding, so we talk a lot. In fact, I talk about just about every medium-sized (and larger) decision with her.

When we were first married, it took her a while to get that when I started talking about a new project or idea (and this was before I could even program), that it didn't mean that I was actually going to do it ... they were more mental exercises. But once she figured out how I think, she's rolled with it. She challenges my ideas, forcing me to refine them, and making me develop better narratives for them. Occasionally, there'll be some project I think is a good idea that she doesn't share my enthusiasm about. Curiously, those are usually my weakest ones.

But even with her support and counsel, I definitely wish I had a cofounder or two I could work alongside every day.

I wonder if there is some service/directory/matchmaking app which helps idle individuals work together on a project. I'm certain there are millions of entrepreneurs with ideas and bored programmers with nothing to do which could hook up over the internet and work on some interesting idea together.

Anyone know if something like this exists?

Oh, how I identify with everything you just said.
