      <description>&lt;p&gt;In a world where anyone can pitch an idea online, it can be overwhelming to find projects that are well-thought-out and ready for action. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Many projects are pitched by unexperienced people wich lack clarity, feasibility, or a solid plan, making it hard to take it seriously and investing your time on. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And for the other side it's hard to find people who have the experience and dedication for your project.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That why I created &lt;a href="https://www.craftit.site/"&gt;https://www.craftit.site&lt;/a&gt; to make the search a little bit easier.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Devs open source their projects to get help wich its a big problem.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Opensource Collaboration is useless you do it for free.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;its tough to manage multiple random collaborators who are interning and leaving your project with out a commitment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1 passionte guy that understand your project vision and ready to work hard with you it's better than 100 collaborators &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It's hard to come out with  good project ideas that serve purpos that you want to invest time and effort to build it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It's hard to find projects that you really like and matches your interests and ambitions and expertise &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So many great projects are left to die because the owner don't have the mony or the help to finish it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.craftit.site/"&gt;Craftit.site&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;When you’re trying to find the perfect people to work with on your project, it can feel like searching for a special kind of rock on a big beach. But don’t worry, we’re here to guide you to makes this search easier.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Problem: Too Many Choices, Not Enough Quality&lt;br&gt;
It's tough to find the right partners because there are so many people out there, and it's hard to know who's serious and who's not. Plus, some folks might not have the skills or commitment you need for your project.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Solution: A Place for Serious Pros&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.craftit.site/"&gt;Craftit.site&lt;/a&gt; is a platform for people who are serious about their work:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Quality First:&lt;br&gt;
We focuses on making sure everyone in the community is top-notch. That means you won’t waste time talking to folks who aren’t serious or skilled enough for your project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find What You Need:&lt;br&gt;
You can post exactly what kind of partners you’re looking for on your project – like what skills they need or how much experience they should have. This helps you find the perfect match.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trustworthy&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We checks everyone’s profiles to make sure they’re real and reliable. So, you can trust that the people you meet there are the real deal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pitch your project:
You can &lt;a href="https://www.craftit.site/pitch"&gt;pitch&lt;/a&gt; your project and let people know what you’re trying to build. This way, people who interested can find you instead of you hunting them down.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

      <title>A place for professionnels to join and pitch projects</title>
      <dc:creator>Youssef </dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Fri, 16 Feb 2024 17:40:46 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/youssef_idabdelahe/a-place-for-serious-and-experienced-professionnels-to-join-and-pitch-projects-fhn</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/youssef_idabdelahe/a-place-for-serious-and-experienced-professionnels-to-join-and-pitch-projects-fhn</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The problem &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, I've been sitting on some  online "collab" groups looking for a project for a couple of months. I've noticed that this places  has a huge problem, and to be specific, a couple of them. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I feel that most of the people there have a minimal understanding of making a game and the amount of effort that goes into making one. Most of the posts are like this: "I don't know how to program or make art, I don't have any portfolio, I'm a 'writer,' and I have this loosely defined idea. I need 5 programmers and 3 artists." Then, a couple of beginners join, and after a week, everyone vanishes.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I cannot recall even one of them that didn't have some major red flags, like nobody on the team has ever made a game before or programmers not even knowing the engine they are supposed to work in. People just join these projects, pretend to do something for a week, and leave. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I also love people that won't post ANY info about their project because "others would steal it." I mean, YOU are the one looking for people to join, so it's your job to get as many people interested in it as possible. You can't expect people to be like, "Oh mighty game developer, please let me into your team so that I'll be able to work for free for you" when they don't know even a single thing about what they're even getting into &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, what goes wrong each time? Well, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;- Unexperienced team members, for the most part. As I said earlier, most of the people that are joining all of these projects don't even have a single piece of portfolio. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;- Project structure: I feel like 90% of the people there have no idea what do they even want. They just say, "I want to make a game that is like Mortal Kombat and Celeste." Their entire GDD has 2 pages, they have no roadmap, no deadlines, no budget, no goal, and no idea what it takes to actually make a game. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The solution &lt;br&gt;
iwas looking for alternatives and didn't find any good so I developed this site to bring experienced and serious professionals together . See how it works looking forward for your feedbacks 👌&lt;br&gt;
