For developers done with working solo

Stop developing alone.
Pin your project.
Build a real team.

Side projects die solo. Corkbored is where you find the people who actually build with you — your team, maybe your cofounders — and where everyone who ships shares in what it becomes.

Your repo herereal commits required — no ideas guys

For builders between things

Find your team. Ship your thing.

// the team feeling, again

Million-dollar ideas sit abandoned because one person ran out of steam. Find builders who actually want to be there — people who chose your project, not just anyone with a GitHub account.

// the builders pledge

Everyone who joins agrees to treat each other with honesty and integrity. No ego, no politics, no spam PRs — just builders working together on something they believe in.

// share what you make

If it takes off, everyone who built it is already on the record — code, tasks, decisions, all of it. The spoils go to the people who earned them.

From repo to team

How it works

  1. Pin a project

    Link a real GitHub repo with real commits. Verified automatically — no vaporware on the board.

  2. Say who you need

    Collaborators, not employees: "React dev, great with tailwind!" Set the expectation up front.

  3. Choose your team

    Devs apply with a short pitch and their actual GitHub history. You decide who gets in.

  4. Build & share the upside

    Accepted members get repo access. If the project takes off, the contribution record is already there.

After the match

More than matchmaking — a place the team actually works.

Every project gets a shared workspace: a task board, async discussion threads, an announcements feed, and a live activity stream synced from GitHub.

And here's the part that matters later: tasks finished, threads decided, commits merged — it all lands on the contribution record. Design and docs count, not just code. When the project wins, nobody argues about who built it.

House rules

Pinned to the board

  • No ideas guys. Code first, then collaborators.
  • No drive-by PRs. Apply, get accepted, contribute.
  • Builders share the spoils. Contribution is on the record.
