When I visit your site from my phone, I'm redirected to detectmobilebrowsers.com. Is this a bug or a feature? (The site says I'm using a mobile device, but I already was pretty sure about that.) @62flavours@thomwensink
@neuling2k@grooveplex@62flavours@thomwensink not your fault - it is the shitty bootstrap detection for scroll-spy that does the redirect, which is why turning js off is working around it.
@thomwensink I do not even see scrollspy in use on the page. Get rid of it and lighten that shitty bootstrap with a custom package :D
Hi hunters,
With a small team of nomads we spend the last months building the product in closed beta. Nomad Projects is a platform for digital nomads who want to start a side project. Connect with other nomads so ideas don’t stay ideas, but grow into a side project with mixed expertise.
The idea started when we ourselves had problems finding a fellow nomad that was open to a sideproject. We had a lot of knowledge on different spectrums, yet we needed the missing link to actually start: in our case a back-end developer. Thus we came up with the idea of Nomad Projects. To find or join a fellow nomad that complements your own skill set so that together you can bring ideas to life.
If you guys have any questions let me know, I would be glad to answer. Thanks @deambulando for the hunt!
Hey guys!
It's been some time since we posted and we've improved the platform bigtime, take a look and let me know what you find.
To read more about the process we're in check out the blogpost!

@fameal Yes, this is a nomad only community. The idea itself isnt unique and there must be others that do the same. However, we havent found anyone that build something like this for digital nomads.
@thomwensink@fameal can you name a few alternatives? Nomad Projects looks really cool but I wouldn't call myself a digital nomad - yet I'd love to find people all over the world to work on sideprojects with
It's cool, though I think the marketing message is a little confusing...how does the product benefit "nomads" particularly? It seems any kind of freelancer could use it.
@anthonygore True, we cannot force non nomads not to use it. However, it is intended for nomads and people have to realize that they'll be partnering up with nomads.
We experienced that people with regular day jobs have a totally different schedule and lifestyle. When you want to start or join a side project we feel that it's better you partner up with someone who understands the life of a digital nomad.
@thomwensink
Great idea. But I agree with @anthonygore : while I'm sure the Nomad niche helps you get your word out in a defined community, I don't see how that product benefits nomads more than other like-minded, location-dependent makers.
Cool project by @thomwensink@62flavours and Frank Beentjes, I've been somehow involved in the process since I was one of the beta testers and personal pain in the ass to them :P
Side projects concept. You got some spare time? Want to find a new project to be motivated? got many ideas but lack of some expertise? Nomad Projects then is for you, give it a try it's all for free. Meet new friends or maybe get millionaire, who knows? ;)
I wish I had this when I was travelling all over the world!!
Kudos team!
@victorbercaru Hey Victor, for now there isnt such an option, we focused on primary functionality first. However, this indeed seems to be quite important. We'll think about implementing this!
@victorbercaru Hey Victor, getting back to you here. We decided to implement your feedback! You are now able to share your profile/idea and live project on Twitter ;)
I can't register with Facebook. :( Getting this problem: "App Not Setup: This app is still in development mode, and you don't have access to it. Switch to a registered test user or ask an app admin for permissions."
Looks like a cool project though.
Great idea. I'm a nomad and would like to connect to find someone to help with my side project Gif Lingua. However, keep getting an internal server error when I try to register. Also when using FB OAuth. Using Chrome and Windows 7.
@thomwensink Thanks. Looking forward to trying it out. I'm a big user, member of the Impact Hub network of co-working spaces and will get other Hubsters to check it out.
Hi, I have seen few projects in past for side project lovers. But none of them has worked for me. I have hopes for this one. Thanks for making Nomad Projects @thomwensink and @62flavours :)
@thomwensink@62flavours Hi, just wanted to know how the message notification works in Nomad Projects site. I can not see the unread messages that appears as notifications.
is there something similar not restricted to digital nomads? I can't tick the "I really am a digital nomad" because I wouldn't call myself like that. But I want to work on sideprojects / find people to work on sideprojects with
@yannschaub Well for example meeet.co did something similar also and we were sad to see it shut down. However, it seems meeet will be brought back to life, so you might wanna check that out ;)
@jenturrent Hey Jaime. It should work, perhaps in your spam folder? If nothing works you can send me an email at hello@nomadprojects.io so I can fix this for you.
@thomwensink@62flavours There is a massive need for something like this not just for the nomad niche but people the world over. There are very few site like this out there.
How can we bring this to all and help people come together to make great things. If you have an idea I would be in 100% to help with anything I can. Awesome site!!
