I’ve looked at a few lists here and there, but it seems like there just aren’t many co-ops that recruit strangers online. Anyone have any experience working for a co-op as a dev? It seems like it would be an awesome way to structure a small web/app dev team. Part of me wants to try to start one myself, but it’s hard to imagine maintaining the motivation needed for a task like that when I can barely function as it is.

Anyway, what’s up with the lack of cooperatives? Sorry if this is the wrong comm, seemed like the best place

    that recruit strangers online

    Don’t be a stranger, introduce yourself by contributing to an open source project run by a cooperative that you want to join. Start with something labeled good first issue on their GitHub issue tracker, but after that, try to pick something from their issue tracker that you think will grab their attention.
