Pinder matches developers, designers, and indie makers with projects that fit their skills and interests. Swipe, connect, and ship faster together.
Get started freeBuilt for makers who want to ship, not just dream.
Our algorithm surfaces projects and collaborators based on your stack, availability, and interests — not just keywords.
Leave structured notes, async video pitches, and code snippets before committing to a project. No cold DMs.
Lock your project details behind NDA-lite agreements before sharing sensitive details with potential collaborators.
Shared milestones and a lightweight kanban keep everyone aligned without the overhead of a full project management tool.
Once matched, communicate directly in-app with threaded conversations, file sharing, and code-block support.
Find collaborators across timezones. Filter by availability, remote preference, and equity expectations.
When you reach out to a potential collaborator with a wall of text in a cold DM, you're asking them to context-switch on your schedule. Most makers are already juggling a day job, a project backlog, and a dozen unread Slack threads.
Async video pitches flip the dynamic. You record a two-minute walkthrough of your idea, your current progress, and the specific role you're looking to fill. The other person watches it when it fits their flow — pauses, rewinds, thinks it over — and responds thoughtfully.
In our beta, projects that included an async video pitch received 3.4× more qualified responses than those with text-only descriptions. The bar to express genuine interest is lower when you don't have to schedule a call first.
